tipkit-workflow

tipkit-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 109 tokens per session (1,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for adding Apple's TipKit guidance to SwiftUI, UIKit, or AppKit apps. TipKit displays inline tips or popovers that explain features to users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add feature hints or onboarding tips, choose between inline and popover displays, and troubleshoot when tips do not appear as expected.
Why use it?
It helps decide where guidance should appear and handles the rules, configuration, persistence, testing, and platform-specific presentation involved.

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

tipkit-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 1mo ago.

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.

TipKit Workflow

Purpose

Implement Apple TipKit directly and predictably. Treat “tooltip” requests as a presentation decision: use TipKit for discoverable feature guidance and onboarding, then choose an inline tip or tip popover based on whether covering nearby controls is acceptable.

When To Use

Use for adding, configuring, displaying, styling, testing, or diagnosing TipKit guidance in SwiftUI, UIKit, or AppKit.

Single-Path Workflow

  1. Apply the Apple docs gate through explore-apple-swift-docs. State the documented TipKit behavior being relied on before changing code.
  2. Inspect the app entry point, deployment targets, highlighted control, existing presentation modifiers, and any existing TipKit configuration or tip types.
  3. Classify the request:
    • inline SwiftUI guidance with TipView
    • SwiftUI tooltip popover with popoverTip
    • UIKit inline or popover presentation
    • AppKit inline or popover presentation
    • eligibility using parameters, events, rules, and options
    • lifecycle, persistence, testing, or troubleshooting
  4. Read references/presentation-and-platform-patterns.md for presentation code and references/eligibility-lifecycle-and-testing.md for configuration, rules, persistence, invalidation, and diagnosis.
  5. Define a small Tip type with stable identity and focused copy. Add title; add message, image, and actions only when they improve comprehension or provide a real next step.
  6. Call try Tips.configure(...) once during app startup before tips need to become eligible. Handle configuration failure with a descriptive message that identifies TipKit initialization and the likely datastore or configuration cause.
  7. Prefer inline TipView whenever layout can accommodate it. Use popoverTip when the tip must point at a compact control and temporary overlap is acceptable.
  8. Encode real eligibility with @Parameter, Tips.Event, #Rule, and options. Donate events where the qualifying behavior actually happens; do not fake eligibility with unrelated view-local Boolean state.
  9. Invalidate the tip when the highlighted feature is used or the guidance becomes permanently irrelevant. Do not confuse temporary dismissal with permanent invalidation.
  10. Validate with deterministic TipKit testing controls, then run the applicable xcode-build-run-workflow and xcode-testing-workflow checks. Verify appearance, dismissal, action handling, persistence after relaunch, accessibility, and compact-window behavior on each supported platform.

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.
