What it does

Paperkit is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Add drawings, shapes, and a consistent markup experience using PaperKit. Use when integrating PaperMarkupViewController for markup editing, adding shape recognition, working with PaperMarkup data models, embedding markup tools in document editors, or building annotation features that need the system-standard markup toolbar. New in iOS 26.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k 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/paperkit-patterns.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering iOS development and Embeddings. 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

Integrating PaperMarkupViewController for markup editing
Adding shape recognition
Working with PaperMarkup data models
Embedding markup tools in document editors

Example prompts

“/paperkit”

Workflow steps

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

Choose the document bounds, supported FeatureSet, and persistence version before constructing UI.
Create PaperMarkup, embed PaperMarkupViewController, and keep the controller, tool picker, and insertion controller alive for the view…
Use the platform-appropriate insertion surface and keep PencilKit drawing inside the PaperKit document boundary.
Save off the main thread, retain a thumbnail for forward-incompatible content, and test round-trip loading with the same feature set.
On failure, restore the original document bytes, fix the feature-set/version/controller mismatch, and rerun edit, save, relaunch, load…

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

Paperkit loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 968 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~4.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~8.9k

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 968 words (~4,181 tokens).

“PaperKit combines PencilKit drawing with structured markup elements such as shapes, text, images, and lines in a canvas managed by PaperMarkupViewController.”
