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 | $0.00045 | $0.06056 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.03028 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.01211 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00606 |
Grade A, and why
liquid-glass 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 11d 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 — 881 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Liquid Glass Design
Implement Apple's Liquid Glass design language across all Apple UI frameworks. Covers SwiftUI (.glassEffect()), AppKit (NSGlassEffectView), UIKit (UIGlassEffect + UIVisualEffectView), and WidgetKit (rendering modes, accented content, glass elements in widgets).
When This Skill Activates
- User wants glass/blur effects on views
- User asks about Liquid Glass or modern Apple design
- User needs transparent, interactive UI elements
- User wants morphing transitions between views
- User is implementing glass effects in UIKit with
UIVisualEffectView - User needs
UIGlassEffectorUIGlassContainerEffect - User asks about scroll view edge effects in UIKit
- User wants Liquid Glass in widgets (WidgetKit)
- User needs to support accented rendering mode in widgets
- User asks about widget textures or mounting styles on visionOS
Design Rules (WWDC25)
Liquid Glass is the material of the navigation layer — bars, toolbars, floating controls — never the content layer (tables, lists, rows in a scroll view).
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Never glass on glass | Don't stack glass. Elements sitting ON glass don't get the material again — style them with fills and vibrancy. |
| Two variants — never mix them | Regular (default): works at any size, over anything, with adaptive legibility. Clear: only when ALL three hold — media-rich content underneath, a dimming layer is acceptable, and bold bright content sits above. Clear has no adaptive behaviors. One variant per interface. |
| Tint only primary actions | "When every element is tinted, nothing stands out." |
| No steady-state intersections | In resting layouts, content shouldn't sit half-under a glass element — reposition or scale the content instead. |
| Strip decorated bars | Remove customized bar backgrounds and borders; build hierarchy through layout and grouping, not decoration. Never group a symbol with a text label in one toolbar group. Action sheets spring from their source element. |
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.

liquid-glass is a skill published in the GitHub repository rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills (719 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 6,056 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.
