mapsgl-apple

mapsgl-apple is a skill for Claude Code from vaisala-xweather/xweather-agent-skills. It costs 227 tokens per session (8,121 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An Apple-platform software kit for displaying weather and custom map data in iOS, iPadOS, Mac Catalyst, and visionOS apps. It works with Mapbox or MapLibre, which are libraries for adding interactive maps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the SDK, create a map controller, and add, remove, style, or animate weather and custom data layers.
Why use it?
It provides the platform-specific setup and map controls needed to add Xweather layers to a Swift app.

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 C, and why

mapsgl-apple scanned grade C with 2 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 8d 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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

MapsGL for Apple platforms

The Xweather MapsGL SDK for Apple platforms renders weather and custom map data client-side with Metal, layered on top of Mapbox Maps or MapLibre Native. It requires an active Xweather account with Weather API + Maps access (client id + secret).

Platform support comes from the package manifest: iOS 16+, macCatalyst 16+, visionOS 1+. There is no native macOS (AppKit) target — a "macOS" app here means Mac Catalyst.

Ask which map provider unless the context tells you

The map provider is not a stylistic preference that can be defaulted: Mapbox and MapLibre resolve different Swift Package branches, different transitive SDKs, and different map-view types. Getting it wrong means the code doesn't compile and the package graph has to be redone.

So infer it when the context actually says, and ask when it doesn't. Never pick one by default.

Infer it from evidence like:

  • the user named the provider in their request;
  • the project already integrates one — an import MapsGLMapbox / import MapsGLMapLibre, a resolved mapbox-maps-ios or maplibre-gl-native-distribution dependency, a Podfile naming one, an MLNMapView or MapboxMaps.MapView in the source, or a MBXAccessToken in an Info.plist;
  • the project already uses the provider's SDK elsewhere, even without MapsGL — a Mapbox-based map screen means Mapbox.

When you infer, say which provider you picked and what told you, so a wrong read is cheap to correct.

Ask when the evidence is absent or contradictory — a greenfield app, a project with no map dependency yet, or one carrying traces of both. Weak circumstantial signals ("we want a dark map style", "our designer sent Mapbox screenshots") are not evidence of an integration; ask rather than build the whole package graph on them.

Trade-offs to offer alongside the question, briefly:

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.
