What it does

iOS Accessibility is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Build and audit SwiftUI, UIKit, and AppKit accessibility for VoiceOver, Voice Control, Switch Control, Full Keyboard Access, Dynamic Type, focus restoration, labels/traits/actions, traversal, custom rotors, NSAccessibility, XCTest checks, adaptive system preferences, and App Store accessibility declarations. Use when implementing accessible UI, fixing an accessibility audit, testing assistive-technology behavior, or substantiating App Store Accessibility Nutrition Labels.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k 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/a11y-patterns.md` and `references/media-accessibility.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Accessibility, iOS development and Text to speech and voice. It works with iOS, macOS and SwiftUI. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for iOS 26+, Swift 6.3, SwiftUI, and modern Apple frameworks.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing accessible UI
  • Fixing an accessibility audit
  • Testing assistive-technology behavior
  • Substantiating App Store Accessibility Nutrition Labels

Example prompts

  • “/ios-accessibility”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prefer semantic system controls; custom controls must expose the same name,
  2. Preserve every task across assistive input: do not make a gesture, color,
  3. Keep focus and traversal intentional across navigation, presentation, updates,
  4. Let text, layout, contrast, transparency, and motion adapt to the user's
  5. Treat App Store accessibility declarations as evidence-backed product claims,

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

iOS Accessibility loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,697 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~124
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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 1,697 words (~4,646 tokens).

“Build SwiftUI, UIKit, and AppKit interfaces that remain operable with VoiceOver, Switch Control, Voice Control, Full Keyboard Access, and adaptive accessibility settings.”

How do I install iOS Accessibility in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill ios-accessibility -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ios-accessibility in dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills) into .claude/skills/ios-accessibility in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install iOS Accessibility in Codex?

Can I use iOS Accessibility in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill ios-accessibility -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ios-accessibility, .gemini/skills/ios-accessibility, .github/skills/ios-accessibility and .opencode/skills/ios-accessibility in your project.

What does iOS Accessibility need to run?

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

Does iOS Accessibility access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is iOS Accessibility 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 iOS Accessibility use?

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

How many tokens does iOS Accessibility use?

About 4.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 19k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 6k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
