Implement and review Apple TipKit feature-discovery UI for iOS 17+ apps.

  • Auditing in-app tips
  • SKILL.md covers Contents, Availability, Configure TipKit and Design Good Tips, plus 10 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Contextual help

What it does

Tipkit is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Implement and review Apple TipKit feature-discovery UI for iOS 17+ apps. Use when adding or auditing in-app tips, contextual help, coach marks, Tip, TipView, popoverTip, rules, events, actions, display frequency, testing overrides, reusable tip identifiers, or iOS 18+ TipGroup and CloudKit tip sync; avoid for generic SwiftUI navigation or layout outside tip presentation.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k 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/tipkit-patterns.md`).

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

  • Auditing in-app tips
  • Contextual help
  • Display frequency
  • Testing overrides

Example prompts

  • “/tipkit”

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

Tipkit loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,140 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.3k

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 1,140 words (~3,297 tokens).

“Use TipKit for small, contextual feature-discovery moments: inline tips, popover tips, rule-gated education, and lightweight coach marks. Keep generic SwiftUI architecture, navigation, layout, and long first-run onboarding flows in their sibling skills unless TipKit presentation is the core issue.”
