widget-live-activity

widget-live-activity is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wangjianqi/AppStore. It costs 36 tokens per session (2,547 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building iOS home-screen and lock-screen widgets, Live Activities, and Dynamic Island interfaces. Widgets are small app surfaces that run separately, while Live Activities show changing information during an ongoing event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create WidgetKit extensions, lock-screen widgets, Live Activities, and Dynamic Island layouts, including their timelines, configuration, bundle identifiers, and SwiftUI views.
Why use it?
It explains the different Apple frameworks, operating-system requirements, processes, and SwiftUI constraints involved in these interfaces.

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

widget-live-activity 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 10d 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.

Widget / Live Activity / 动态岛

架构概览

特性 最低版本 框架 运行环境
主屏幕 Widget iOS 14+ WidgetKit 独立进程
锁屏 Widget iOS 16+ WidgetKit 独立进程
Live Activity iOS 16.1+ ActivityKit 主 App 进程
Dynamic Island iOS 16.1+ ActivityKit 主 App 进程

核心区别:

  • Widget 是独立 Extension 进程,与主 App 不共享内存
  • Live Activity / Dynamic Island 运行在主 App 进程内
  • Widget 必须用 SwiftUI,不支持 UIKit
  • Live Activity 的 UI 也必须用 SwiftUI

Widget 开发

创建 Widget Extension

  • Xcode → File → New → Target → Widget Extension
  • 勾选 "Include Live Activity" 可同时生成 Live Activity 模板
  • Widget Extension 有独立 Bundle ID:com.app.WidgetExtension
