What it does

App Clips is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Build iOS App Clips with invocation URLs, App Clip Codes, NFC, QR codes, Safari banners, Maps, Messages, target setup, App Store Connect experiences, size/capability constraints, NSUserActivity routing, SKOverlay promotion, App Group/keychain handoff, ephemeral notifications, location confirmation, and full-app migration. Use when creating App Clips or wiring App Clip invocation, experience configuration, or full-app handoff.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/data-handoff-notifications-location.md` and `references/routing-and-experiences.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development and App store release. It works with App Store Connect and iOS. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for iOS 26+, Swift 6.3, SwiftUI, and modern Apple frameworks.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating App Clips
  • Wiring App Clip invocation
  • Experience configuration
  • Full-app handoff

Example prompts

  • “/app-clips”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. File → New → Target → App Clip — Xcode creates the App Clip target, adds the Embed App Clip build phase to the full app target, and wires…
  2. The App Clip bundle ID must be prefixed by the full app's bundle ID: com.example.MyApp.Clip.
  3. Verify raw entitlement keys when diagnosing archive, signing, or App Store Connect failures

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d90fd1. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • sosumi.ai

    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

App Clips loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 765 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.3k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 765 words (~2,119 tokens).

“Build lightweight, instantly available versions of an iOS app for focused in-the-moment experiences or demos.”
