What it does

App Intents is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. App Intents for Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Apple Intelligence integration including intent modes, interactive snippets, visual intelligence, and entity indexing. Use when implementing Siri integration, App Shortcuts, or Spotlight indexing.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `advanced-features.md`, `entities-spotlight.md` and `intents-basics.md`).

It sits in Mobile. It works with iOS and macOS. 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

  • Implementing Siri integration
  • Spotlight indexing

Example prompts

  • “/app-intents”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify Integration Needs
  2. Load Relevant Reference Files
  3. Review or Implement
  4. Cross-Reference
  5. Missing static metadata
  6. Forgetting to index entities after changes
  7. Using foreground intent for background-safe work
  8. Not providing EntityStringQuery for entities
  9. Returning too many Spotlight results

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
    • Glob
    • Grep

    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 Intents loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 604 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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 604 words (~2,441 tokens).

“Build intents that expose your app's functionality to Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Apple Intelligence. Covers the full App Intents framework from basic actions through advanced features like interactive snippets, intent modes, visual intelligence integration, and Spotlight entity indexing.”
