Implement iOS authentication flows with AuthenticationServices and LocalAuthentication.

  • Building Sign in with Apple
  • SKILL.md covers Contents, Sign in with Apple, Credential Handling and Credential State Checking, plus 11 more sections
  • Reaches appleid.apple.com and provider.com
  • Passkey/WebAuthn registration

What it does

Authentication is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Implement iOS authentication flows with AuthenticationServices and LocalAuthentication. Use when building Sign in with Apple, passkey/WebAuthn registration or sign-in with ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialProvider, ASAuthorizationController credential state and revocation handling, ASWebAuthenticationSession OAuth or third-party login, Password AutoFill, identity-token server validation, or local biometric re-authentication with LAContext.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k 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/keychain-biometric.md` and `references/passkeys.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication, iOS development and OAuth and OpenID Connect. 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

  • Building Sign in with Apple
  • Passkey/WebAuthn registration
  • Sign-in with ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialProvider
  • ASAuthorizationController credential state and revocation handling

Example prompts

  • “/authentication”

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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • appleid.apple.com
    • provider.com

    Also links to:

    • 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

Authentication loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 854 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.7k

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 854 words (~3,724 tokens).

“Implement authentication flows on iOS using the AuthenticationServices framework, including Sign in with Apple, passkeys, OAuth/third-party web auth, Password AutoFill, and biometric re-authentication.”
