ios-app-intents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from memi-design/design-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (263 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development guide for App Intents, Apple's system that lets apps expose actions to Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, widgets, and Apple Intelligence.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for designing and testing app actions, app entities, shortcuts, widgets, Siri behavior, Spotlight search, background execution, cancellation, confirmation, and localization.
Why use it?
It helps developers make these actions discoverable, stable across devices, safe for sensitive changes, and reliable outside the app's visible screen.

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

ios-app-intents 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

iOS App Intents

Workflow

  1. Start from a user-visible action that is useful outside the main app.
  2. Define parameters, entity identity, lookup/query behavior, confirmation rules, execution mode, cancellation, and result copy before code.
  3. Keep identifiers stable across launches and devices when the capability requires continuity.
  4. Gate destructive, sensitive, shared, or public changes with the appropriate confirmation and ownership checks.
  5. Keep intent execution deterministic and independent from foreground-only UI state.
  6. Localize titles, parameter summaries, errors, shortcut phrases, and result dialogs.
  7. Verify discovery and execution in each claimed surface, including foreground/background behavior and locked-device constraints.

Current API caution

Apple's June 2026 App Intents updates add new execution, cancellation, undo, ownership, indexing, and Apple Intelligence integration options. Consult the exact SDK documentation and availability before using them. Do not rename those additions as an iOS version without primary-source evidence.

Read references/contract.md for the intent contract and test matrix.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
