apple-foundation-models-app-patterns

apple-foundation-models-app-patterns is a skill for Codex from sambitcreate/Swift-Foundation-Models-Skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (192 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for using the MVVM design pattern in apps built with Apple Foundation Models. MVVM separates the app's screen, data, and interaction logic into distinct parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or debugging Foundation Models features that need clear separation between the user interface, app state, and underlying operations.
Why use it?
It gives developers a structure for keeping model-driven app code organised and easier to maintain.

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

apple-foundation-models-app-patterns 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.

What it actually says

App Patterns

Use when

  • Working with app patterns in your iOS/macOS project
  • Implementing features related to app patterns
  • Debugging issues with app patterns

Don't use when

  • Just doing basic chat (use apple-foundation-models-session-patterns)
  • Need structured output specifically (use apple-foundation-models-structured-generation)

Workflow

  1. Review the skill documentation
  2. Check references/guide.md for code examples
  3. Implement according to your use case
  4. Test with actual model interactions

Hard rules

  • Follow Apple platform guidelines
  • Handle errors gracefully
  • Respect user privacy and data handling

References

See references/guide.md for code examples and repo file paths.

Files

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.

Changes

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.
