bootstrap-ios

bootstrap-ios is a skill for Claude Code from RayFernando1337/rayfernando-skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,046 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A starting guide for projects built for Apple devices and computers, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Swift, SwiftUI, Xcode, and Apple testing tools. It first identifies the project type and loads only the instructions needed for the current job.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before building, fixing, refactoring, testing, or setting up an Apple-platform repository. It helps detect Xcode projects and workspaces, Swift packages, simulators, and related build tools.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a consistent way to inspect, build, test, debug, and set up Apple-platform projects while avoiding outdated APIs and unnecessary instructions.

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

bootstrap-ios 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/bootstrap-ios-skills.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bootstrap iOS

Use this as the single entry point before touching an Apple-platform app. It is a router skill: discover the project, load only the references needed for the current job, verify that build/test tools exist, then act.

The default posture is conservative:

  • Build and test before judging code.
  • Prefer modern Swift, SwiftUI, Observation, Swift Concurrency, Swift Testing, SwiftData, and current Xcode APIs.
  • Avoid deprecated APIs unless the deployment target requires them.
  • Use XcodeBuildMCP or an agent-friendly build script instead of raw, unfiltered xcodebuild output when possible.
  • Load focused skill packs on demand. Do not dump every Swift rule into context.

First move

  1. Detect surfaces: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, mixed web/native, SwiftPM, Xcode project/workspace, Tuist, XcodeGen, CocoaPods, or buildable folders.
  2. Read references/workflow.md.
  3. If the task involves setup or machine bootstrap, read references/install-and-bootstrap.md.
  4. If the task involves building, running, simulator, tests, or debugging, read references/xcodebuildmcp.md.
  5. Pick only the external skill packs relevant to the current task from references/skill-map.md.

What ships with it

6 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.

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.
