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 | $0.02369 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01184 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00474 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00237 |
Grade A, and why
spotlight-indexing 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.
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 — 291 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Spotlight Indexing Generator
Generate production Core Spotlight indexing infrastructure — makes app content searchable via Spotlight (and Siri suggestions). Indexes items with rich attributes, handles search continuation into your app, and manages index lifecycle.
When This Skill Activates
Use this skill when the user:
- Asks to "add spotlight search" or "spotlight indexing"
- Mentions "core spotlight" or "CSSearchableItem"
- Wants to make "searchable content" or "index content" for system search
- Asks about "system search" integration or "Siri suggestions"
- Wants content to appear in Spotlight results
- Mentions "NSUserActivity" for search or handoff
Pre-Generation Checks
1. Project Context Detection
- Check deployment target (iOS 16+ / macOS 13+)
- Check Swift version (requires Swift 5.9+)
- Check for @Observable support (iOS 17+ / macOS 14+)
- Identify source file locations
2. Existing CoreSpotlight Detection
Search for existing Spotlight code:
Glob: **/*Spotlight*.swift, **/*Searchable*.swift, **/*CSSearchable*.swift
Grep: "CoreSpotlight" or "CSSearchableIndex" or "CSSearchableItem"
If existing Spotlight code found:
- Ask if user wants to replace or augment it
- If augmenting, identify what's missing and generate only those pieces
3. Deep Linking Detection
Search for existing deep link or navigation setup:
Grep: "NavigationPath" or "onOpenURL" or "NSUserActivity" or "DeepLink"
If deep linking exists:
- Integrate SpotlightSearchHandler with existing router
- If not, generate standalone handler with guidance on wiring it up
4. Entitlements Check
Verify CoreSpotlight doesn't require special entitlements (it doesn't — it's a standard framework), but check if the app uses App Groups for shared index across extensions.
Configuration Questions
Ask user via AskUserQuestion:
- Content types to index?
- Articles / blog posts (titles, body text, authors)
- Products (name, description, price, images)
- Contacts / people (name, phone, email)
- Tasks / reminders (title, due date, priority)
- Custom (user describes their model)
What ships with it
2 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.

spotlight-indexing is a skill published in the GitHub repository rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills (722 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 2,369 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 2026-09-03.
