swiftui-macos-patterns

swiftui-macos-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LaughingJackalope/macos-skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (6,421 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to managing state, user input, focus, menus, and screen lifecycles in macOS apps built with SwiftUI, Apple's interface framework.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing the structure of a macOS SwiftUI app or deciding when to use shared data, saved settings, focus, bindings, and lifecycle events.
Why use it?
It helps avoid guessing how SwiftUI features behave specifically on macOS, where menus, windows, and scenes add extra concerns.

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

swiftui-macos-patterns scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

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.
