What it does

iOS Ettrace Performance is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Use when capturing or analyzing ETTrace profiles for a focused iOS launch or runtime flow, including exact-build dSYM UUID matching, Simulator or device capture, processed per-thread flamegraph JSON, sampled inclusive/exclusive time, unresolved symbols, and comparable verification. Use debugging-instruments or swiftui-performance for generic profiling instead.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `evals/evals.json`, `scripts/analyze_ettrace.py` and `scripts/collect_dsyms.py`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with iOS 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

  • Analyzing ETTrace profiles for a focused iOS launch
  • Including exact-build dSYM UUID matching
  • Processed per-thread flamegraph JSON
  • Sampled inclusive/exclusive time

Example prompts

  • “/ios-ettrace-performance”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Triage before instrumenting
  2. Record and hold ETTrace versions fixed
  3. Build first, then collect matching dSYMs
  4. Capture from a clean artifact directory
  5. Validate and summarize processed output
  6. Change one cause and repeat

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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • brew

    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):

    • github.com

    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 Ettrace Performance loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,008 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 1,008 words (~2,189 tokens).

“Use ETTrace for a bounded, symbolicated sampling experiment. Treat capture conditions and symbolication as part of the evidence, not as setup trivia.”
