Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00047 | $0.03950 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01975 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00790 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00395 |
Grade A, and why
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 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

App Intents
Build intents that expose your app's functionality to Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Apple Intelligence. Covers the full App Intents framework from basic actions through advanced features like interactive snippets, intent modes, visual intelligence integration, and Spotlight entity indexing.
When This Skill Activates
- User wants to add Siri or Shortcuts integration
- User asks about App Intents, AppIntent, or AppEntity
- User needs Spotlight indexing for app content
- User wants to create App Shortcuts with voice phrases
- User is implementing interactive snippets for Siri results
- User asks about intent modes (foreground, background)
- User needs visual intelligence integration via App Intents
- User wants onscreen entity support for Siri/ChatGPT
- User asks about Swift package support for App Intents

What ships with it
3 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.

app-intents is a skill published in the GitHub repository rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills (713 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 3,950 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.
