cloudkit

cloudkit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TalissonVitorino/kmp-ios-skills. It costs 209 tokens per session (5,536 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for using Apple's CloudKit service to store and sync app data across a user's Apple devices, and to share selected data with other users. CloudKit is a hosted Apple backend, so the app does not need to run its own server for this storage and syncing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for private, public, or shared databases; records and files; queries; change notifications; and syncing SwiftData, Core Data, or custom app models.
Why use it?
It provides a way to synchronize records, files, and changes without building the whole backend. It also explains limits, such as why its public database should not hold sensitive financial information or serve as the official ledger.

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

cloudkit 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 — 372 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CloudKit (iCloud sync — iOS 26 era)

Apple's hosted backend for syncing app data across a user's devices (and, via shares, between users). No server code; you model records and CloudKit handles storage, auth (the iCloud account), and delivery.

  • Fintech caution: the public database is world-readable and the record data is not end-to-end encrypted at rest under your key. Never put balances, PANs, transactions, or PII in it. For sensitive fields, either keep them out of CloudKit or store a CryptoKit-sealed blob whose key lives in the Keychain (see swift-security) — CloudKit syncs opaque bytes fine.
  • When not to use CloudKit: you need server-side business logic, non-Apple clients, or a queryable ledger of record. CloudKit is a per-user sync cache, not a system of record.
  • Modern default: for a hand-rolled model use CKSyncEngine (iOS 17+). For a SwiftData/Core Data model, turn on the built-in mirroring instead of touching CKRecord directly.

Contents

Setup & entitlements

  • Add the iCloud capability → check CloudKit; Xcode creates the com.apple.developer.icloud-container-identifiers entitlement and a default container iCloud.<bundle-id>.
  • Add the Push Notifications capability and enable Remote notifications background mode — CloudKit subscriptions and CKSyncEngine deliver change pushes over APNs.
  • Model your schema in the CloudKit Console (or let it auto-create record types from saves in the Development environment). Development and Production schemas are separate — you must explicitly Deploy Schema Changes to Production before an App Store build works. New fields, indexes, and record types don't reach Production automatically.
  • Querying by a field requires a queryable index on it in the console; sorting requires a sortable index; recordName needs a queryable index for NSPredicate(value: true) fetches.

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.
