What it does

iOS Development is an agent skill from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS. iOS/Swift development: SwiftUI, UIKit, Core Data, Xcode builds, simulator management, code signing, and App Store submission.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/full-guidance.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development and App store release. It works with Xcode, SwiftUI, iOS and React Native. The repository describes itself as: Local-first personal agentic OS and everything app for coding, knowledge work, web design, automations, and artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve iOS development
  • Tasks that involve App store release

Example prompts

  • “/ios-development”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a77d646. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

iOS Development loads about 452 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~452
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Purpose

iOS/Swift development: SwiftUI, UIKit, Core Data, Xcode builds, simulator management, code signing, and App Store submission.

Routing

  • Use when: Use when the user asks about iOS development, Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Xcode, Core Data, SwiftData, App Store submission, TestFlight, or iOS simulator management.
  • Do not use when: Do not use for Android development (use android-development), React Native (use the mobile pack's react-native skill), or general mobile CI/CD (use the mobile pack's build-pipeline skill).
  • Outputs: Swift code, SwiftUI views, Xcode commands, and iOS development guidance.
  • Success criteria: Returns valid Swift/SwiftUI code or Xcode CLI commands.

Trigger Examples

Positive
  • Use the ios-development skill for this request.
  • Help me with ios development.
  • Use when the user asks about iOS development, Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Xcode, Core Data, SwiftData, App Store submission, TestFlight, or iOS simulator management.
  • iOS Development: provide an actionable result.
Negative
  • Do not use for Android development (use android-development), React Native (use the mobile pack's react-native skill), or general mobile CI/CD (use the mobile pack's build-pipeline skill).
  • Do not use ios-development for unrelated requests.
  • This request is outside ios development scope.
  • This is conceptual discussion only; no tool workflow is needed.

Runtime Prompt

  • Current runtime prompt length: 893 characters.
  • Runtime prompt is defined directly in ../ios-development.json.
