What it does

App Planner is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Guides you through comprehensive iOS/Swift app planning and analysis. Use for new apps (concept to architecture) or existing apps (audit current state, plan improvements, evaluate tech stack). Covers product planning, technical decisions, UI/UX design, and distribution strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 15k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `architecture-guide.md`, `planning-checklist.md` and `tech-stack-options.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development and UI design. It works with iOS. 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

  • New apps (concept to architecture)
  • Existing apps (audit current state
  • Plan improvements
  • Evaluate tech stack)

Example prompts

  • “Use the app-planner skill to guide you through comprehensive iOS/Swift app planning and analysis”
  • “/app-planner”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Understand Project Context
  2. Load Reference Materials
  3. Planning Phases for New Apps
  4. Create Planning Documentation Files
  5. Provide Recommendations
  6. Analysis Process for Existing Apps

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
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • 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 markdown).

    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
    • swift.org

    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 Planner loads about 15k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,104 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~15k

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 2,104 words (~15,021 tokens).

“Comprehensive guide for planning iOS/Swift applications and analyzing existing apps, covering product, technical, UI/UX, and distribution considerations.”
