What it does

App Extensions is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Generates app extension infrastructure for Share Extensions, Action Extensions, Keyboard Extensions, and Safari Web Extensions with data sharing via App Groups. Use when user wants to add a share extension, action extension, keyboard extension, Safari web extension, or any app extension type.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `templates.md`).

The repository describes itself as: SnapGrid is an open-source Mac app for collecting, organizing, and analyzing UI screenshots. It uses AI to automatically detect UI components and patterns, making it a powerful…

When your agent uses it

  • User wants to add a share extension
  • Action extension
  • Keyboard extension
  • Safari web extension

Example prompts

  • “Use the app-extensions skill to generate app extension infrastructure for Share Extensions, Action Extensions, Keyboard Extensions, and Safari Web…”
  • “/app-extensions”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Project Context Detection
  2. Existing Extension Detection
  3. App Groups Detection
  4. Read Templates
  5. Create Extension Files
  6. Create Shared Infrastructure
  7. Determine File Location

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb7eaf4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash
    • AskUserQuestion

    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):

    • developer.apple.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

App Extensions loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 955 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, AskUserQuestion

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 955 words (~2,483 tokens).

“Generate production app extension infrastructure -- Share Extensions for receiving content from other apps, Action Extensions for manipulating content in-place, Keyboard Extensions for custom input, and Safari Web Extensions for browser integration. Includes App Group data sharing between the host…”
