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 | $0.00050 | $0.00782 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00391 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00156 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00078 |
Grade A, and why
ios-development 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
iOS Development Expert
Comprehensive guidance for iOS app development. This skill aggregates specialized modules for different aspects of iOS development.
When This Skill Activates
Use this skill when the user:
- Asks about iOS development best practices
- Wants code review for iOS/Swift projects
- Needs UI/UX review against Human Interface Guidelines
- Wants accessibility audit for iOS apps
- Is planning a new iOS app
- Needs help with SwiftUI patterns for iOS
- Asks about navigation architecture (NavigationStack, NavigationSplitView, TabView)
- Wants to run/launch the app in the Simulator or screenshot it to verify a change
Available Modules
Read relevant module files based on the user's needs:
coding-best-practices/
Swift code quality and modern idioms for iOS.
- Modern Swift patterns and idioms
- Architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture)
- Code quality standards
- Performance optimization
ui-review/
UI/UX review against Apple HIG.
- Human Interface Guidelines compliance
- Font usage and Dynamic Type support
- Accessibility review (VoiceOver, color contrast)
- SwiftUI best practices for iOS/watchOS
accessibility-audit/
Structured accessibility audit workflow (advisory).
- Automated XCUITest audits (
performAccessibilityAudit) + CI patterns - Accessibility Inspector workflow
- Manual VoiceOver / Voice Control / Dynamic Type passes per common task
- App Store Accessibility Nutrition Label evaluation + declaration
navigation-patterns/
SwiftUI navigation architecture patterns.
- NavigationStack, NavigationLink, navigationDestination
- NavigationSplitView (two/three column, iPad/macOS)
- TabView (iOS 18 customizable tabs, sidebar mode)
- Programmatic navigation (NavigationPath, pop-to-root, state restoration)
- Navigation transitions (zoom, custom animations)
app-planner/
iOS app planning and analysis.
- New app concept to architecture
- Existing app audits
- Tech stack evaluation
- Product planning guidance
run-simulator/
Build, install, launch, and screenshot the app in the Simulator to verify a change visually (operational — uses Bash, not just guidance).
- Discover scheme + an available simulator (no hardcoded device names)
- Build for the simulator and resolve the
.app+ bundle id - Boot, install, launch, then screenshot and read it back
- Drive navigation / deep links to reach the changed screen

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.

ios-development is a skill published in the GitHub repository rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills (710 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 782 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
