What it does
App Intents is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Implement App Intents for Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, widgets, Control Center, and Apple Intelligence on iOS. Covers AppIntent actions, AppEntity and EntityQuery models, AppShortcutsProvider phrases, IndexedEntity Spotlight indexing, WidgetConfigurationIntent, SnippetIntent, and assistant schemas. Use when exposing app actions or entities to system surfaces.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/appintents-advanced.md` and `references/system-surfaces.md`).
It sits in Mobile. It works with iOS. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for iOS 26+, Swift 6.3, SwiftUI, and modern Apple frameworks.
When your agent uses it
- Exposing app actions
- Entities to system surfaces
Example prompts
- “/app-intents”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Choose the action, boundary, and surface
- Define the data model
- Implement the intent
- Verify
- EntityQuery (base -- resolve by ID)
- EntityStringQuery (free-text search)
- EnumerableEntityQuery (finite set)
- UniqueAppEntityQuery (singleton, iOS 18+)
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 (its code samples are swift).
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
App Intents loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,123 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,123 words (~4,205 tokens).
“Implement, review, and extend App Intents to expose app functionality to Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, widgets, Control Center, and Apple Intelligence.”
