These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

app-planner 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 5d 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.

App Planner Skill

Comprehensive guide for planning iOS/Swift applications and analyzing existing apps, covering product, technical, UI/UX, and distribution considerations.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

For New Apps:

  • Wants to plan a new iOS/Swift app from scratch
  • Asks about app planning, architecture planning, or project setup
  • Needs help defining features, requirements, or technical stack
  • Wants to create a comprehensive app plan or design document
  • Asks "what should I consider when building a new app?"

For Existing Apps:

  • Wants to analyze or audit their current iOS app
  • Asks to "run through my existing app"
  • Needs architecture evaluation or recommendations
  • Wants tech stack assessment
  • Planning major refactoring or improvements
  • Evaluating app health and identifying gaps

Planning Process

1. Understand Project Context

First, determine if this is a new app or existing app, then gather context:

App Status:

  • New app (planning from scratch)
  • Existing app (analyze/improve)

For NEW Apps - gather:

  • Project Type: Personal, client, startup, learning
  • Current Stage: Just an idea, have requirements, have designs, technical only
  • Scope: Full planning, feature planning, architecture only, tech stack only

For EXISTING Apps - gather:

  • Project Type: Personal, client, startup, enterprise
  • App Age: How long in development/production
  • Codebase Size: Small (<10 screens), medium (10-30), large (30+)
  • Current Issues: Performance, maintainability, feature additions, technical debt
  • Analysis Scope: Full audit, architecture review, tech stack evaluation, specific area
  • Existing Tech Stack: SwiftUI/UIKit, architecture pattern, persistence layer
  • Pain Points: What's not working well, what needs improvement

Then proceed to appropriate workflow:

  • New App → Continue to "Planning Phases for New Apps" (Section 3)
  • Existing App → Jump to "Analysis Process for Existing Apps" (Section 6)

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.
