Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00046 | $0.02481 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01241 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00496 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00248 |
Grade A, and why
localize 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 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 305 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
SwiftUI Localization Audit
Perform a thorough localization audit of the SwiftUI codebase to identify and fix hardcoded strings that need to be localized.
When to use this skill
- Before submitting to the App Store for international markets
- After adding new UI features with user-facing text
- When reviewing PRs that touch Views, ViewModels, or Models
- When the user asks to check localization or translations
How to use it
Step 1: Pre-Flight Checks (All xcstrings Files)
Run localization status checks on all .xcstrings files upfront:
# iOS App
python3 scripts/check_localization_status.py YourApp/Localizable.xcstrings
# AppIntents (catches missing Siri shortcut translations early)
python3 scripts/check_localization_status.py YourApp/AppIntents/AppShortcuts.xcstrings
# Watch App
python3 scripts/check_localization_status.py "YourApp Watch App/Localizable.xcstrings"
Why AppIntents early? Missing shortcut keys cause Siri regressions that are hard to catch later.
Step 2: Scan Scope & Exclusions
Directories to scan:
| Target | Directories |
|---|---|
| iOS App | YourApp/Views/, YourApp/ViewModels/, YourApp/Models/, YourApp/Managers/ |
| Watch App | YourApp Watch App/Views/, YourApp Watch App/ViewModels/, YourApp Watch App/Managers/ |
| AppIntents | YourApp/AppIntents/ |
Exclusions (always ignore):
# Use rg (ripgrep) with exclusions for all searches:
rg --type swift -g '!*Tests*' -g '!*UITests*' "PATTERN" <directory>
*Tests*/,*UITests*/— Test code is not user-facing- Content inside
#Preview { }blocks — Developer-only, stripped from production builds
Step 3: High Priority Pattern Audit
Search for these patterns using rg (faster than grep on macOS):
# Button labels
rg --type swift -g '!*Tests*' 'Button\("' YourApp/Views/ YourApp/ViewModels/ YourApp/Models/
# Label text
rg --type swift -g '!*Tests*' 'Label\("' YourApp/Views/ YourApp/ViewModels/ YourApp/Models/
# Navigation titles
rg --type swift -g '!*Tests*' '\.navigationTitle\("' YourApp/Views/
# Alert titles
rg --type swift -g '!*Tests*' '\.alert\("' YourApp/Views/
# TextField placeholders
rg --type swift -g '!*Tests*' 'TextField\("' YourApp/Views/
# Picker labels
rg --type swift -g '!*Tests*' 'Picker\("' YourApp/Views/
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.

localize is a skill published in the GitHub repository mwd1234/ios-agentic-skills (50 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 2,481 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
