What it does

Eventkit is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Create, read, and manage calendar events and reminders using EventKit and EventKitUI. Use when adding events to the user's calendar, creating reminders, setting recurrence rules, requesting calendar or reminders access, presenting event editors, choosing calendars, handling alarms, observing calendar changes, or working with EKEventStore, EKEvent, EKReminder, EKCalendar, EKRecurrenceRule, EKEventEditViewController, EKCalendarChooser, or EventKitUI views.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k 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/eventkit-patterns.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.

Example prompts

“/eventkit”

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

Eventkit loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 803 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: ~3.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~6.6k

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 803 words (~3,826 tokens).

“Use EventKit for calendar and reminder authorization, CRUD, recurrence, alarms, and system editors.”
