At a glance

Use Apple CryptoKit for Swift cryptographic primitives. An agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills.

  • Works in 6 steps: Using the shared secret directly as a key → Reusing nonces → Ignoring authentication tag verification → …
  • Hashing with SHA-2
  • SKILL.md covers Contents, Hashing, HMAC and Symmetric Encryption, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Cryptokit is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Use Apple CryptoKit for Swift cryptographic primitives. Use when hashing with SHA-2 or SHA-3, generating HMACs, encrypting with AES-GCM or ChaChaPoly, signing with P256/P384/P521/Curve25519 or ML-DSA keys, performing ECDH, HPKE, ML-KEM, or X-Wing key exchange, using Secure Enclave CryptoKit keys, or migrating CommonCrypto code to CryptoKit.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/cryptokit-patterns.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cryptography and iOS development. 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

  • Hashing with SHA-2
  • Generating HMACs
  • Encrypting with AES-GCM
  • Signing with P256/P384/P521/Curve25519

Example prompts

  • “/cryptokit”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Using the shared secret directly as a key
  2. Reusing nonces
  3. Ignoring authentication tag verification
  4. Using Insecure hashes for security
  5. Storing symmetric keys in UserDefaults
  6. Not checking Secure Enclave availability

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

    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

Cryptokit loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 893 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.9k

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); 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 893 words (~3,558 tokens).

“Apple CryptoKit provides a Swift-native API for cryptographic operations: hashing, message authentication, symmetric encryption, public-key signing, key agreement, HPKE, quantum-secure key encapsulation/signing, and Secure Enclave-backed keys. Most core primitives are available on iOS 13+; check availability for HPKE (iOS 17+)…”

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill cryptokit -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/cryptokit, .gemini/skills/cryptokit, .github/skills/cryptokit and .opencode/skills/cryptokit in your project.

What does Cryptokit need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Cryptokit is instructions for the agent only.

Does Cryptokit access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: sosumi.ai. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Cryptokit safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Cryptokit use?

Cryptokit has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
