What it does
iOS Localization is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Implement, review, or improve localization and internationalization in iOS/macOS apps — String Catalogs (.xcstrings), generated localizable symbols, stable key naming, LocalizedStringKey, LocalizedStringResource, pluralization, FormatStyle for numbers/dates/measurements, right-to-left layout, Dynamic Type, and locale-aware formatting. Use when adding multi-language support, setting up String Catalogs, enabling generated symbols for compile-time-safe localization keys, handling plural forms, formatting…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k 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/formatstyle-locale.md` and `references/string-catalogs.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization. It works with iOS, macOS and Xcode. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for iOS 26+, Swift 6.3, SwiftUI, and modern Apple frameworks.
When your agent uses it
- Adding multi-language support
- Setting up String Catalogs
- Enabling generated symbols for compile-time-safe localization keys
- Handling plural forms
Example prompts
- “/ios-localization”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Package.swift declares defaultLocalization.
- The target resources list processes the catalog location, such as .process("Resources").
- Localizable.xcstrings is actually inside that processed target-resource path.
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):
github.comsosumi.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
iOS Localization loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 166 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,102 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,102 words (~3,575 tokens).
“Localize Apple-platform apps with String Catalogs, modern string types, locale-aware formatting, and right-to-left layout.”

When should I use iOS Localization?
iOS Localization fits situations like: adding multi-language support; setting up String Catalogs; enabling generated symbols for compile-time-safe localization keys; handling plural forms.
How do I install iOS Localization in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill ios-localization -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ios-localization in dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills) into .claude/skills/ios-localization in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use iOS Localization 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-localization -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-localization, .gemini/skills/ios-localization, .github/skills/ios-localization and .opencode/skills/ios-localization in your project.
What does iOS Localization need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: iOS Localization is instructions for the agent only.
Does iOS Localization access the network?
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: github.com and sosumi.ai. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is iOS Localization safe to install?

What licence does iOS Localization use?
iOS Localization 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 Localization use?
About 3.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 14k 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 11k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
