Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

icon-composer-app-icon-workflow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Icon Composer App Icon Workflow

Purpose

Use this skill to help a user learn and operate Apple's Icon Composer workflow for app icons. The skill owns the design-production path from brief to layered source artwork, Icon Composer GUI work, preview export, and Xcode handoff. It does not replace visual judgment, source artwork tools, Xcode execution skills, or product-design iteration.

When To Use

  • Use this skill when the user asks for help with Apple's Icon Composer.
  • Use this skill when the task mentions .icon files, Liquid Glass app icons, Icon Composer documents, app icon appearance modes, or ictool.
  • Use this skill for app icon workflows targeting iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, or Xcode app projects.
  • Use this skill when the user wants Codex to guide or operate the Icon Composer GUI through Computer Use.
  • Use this skill when the task is to export rendered preview PNGs from an Icon Composer document.
  • Do not use this skill for generic logo design unless the logo is being prepared as an Apple app icon.
  • Do not use this skill for ordinary Xcode build, run, signing, asset-catalog, or project-file work after the app icon handoff is complete.
  • Recommend bootstrap-xcode-workspace when the Apple product workspace does not exist yet.
  • Recommend xcode-build-run-workflow when the next step is adding the .icon file to an existing Xcode project, choosing it in the Project Editor, building, running, or inspecting project state.
  • Recommend explore-apple-swift-docs when the user needs a fresh Apple documentation research pass before icon-production work continues.

Apple Documentation Gate

Before making claims about current Icon Composer behavior, Xcode integration, platform requirements, appearance modes, or exported asset expectations, check current Apple documentation.

Use official Apple sources first:

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
