widgetkit

widgetkit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TalissonVitorino/kmp-ios-skills. It costs 257 tokens per session (4,981 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building iOS widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy, and Control Center with Apple's WidgetKit. Widgets are small views updated from scheduled data snapshots rather than continuously running live screens.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create widget extensions, supply timeline entries, schedule reloads, support different widget sizes, add deep links or interactions, and share data with the main app.
Why use it?
It explains the timeline and reload model so developers do not treat widgets like ordinary app screens. It also helps distinguish scheduled widgets from real-time features such as Live Activities.

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

widgetkit 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 7d 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 — 380 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WidgetKit (iOS)

Timeline-driven glanceable UI for Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy, and Control Center. Widgets are SwiftUI views rendered by a separate extension process from snapshots your app supplies ahead of time — they are not live; you push data via timelines and reloads. Grounded in Apple's WidgetKit, App Intents, and SwiftUI.

  • Related surfaces: real-time updating UI (delivery, timers, scores) → activitykit (Live Activities / Dynamic Island). The intent/entity layer → app-intents.
  • KMP boundary: the widget extension links the shared framework directly, or reads data the main app wrote to a shared App Group container. Keep formatting/money logic in commonMain and hand the extension plain values; see kmp-ios-integration and kmp-money.

Contents

Extension setup & App Groups

  • Add a Widget Extension target (File ▸ New ▸ Target ▸ Widget Extension). It ships as an app extension inside your app bundle; it runs in its own sandboxed process with a tight memory limit.
  • The widget process cannot reach your app's in-memory state or its private container. Share data through an App Group:
    • Enable the App Groups capability on both the app and the extension targets with the same group.<reverse-dns> id.
    • UserDefaults(suiteName: "group.com.acme.app") for small values, or the shared file container:

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.
