What it does

Apple Intelligence is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Apple Intelligence skills for on-device AI features including Foundation Models, Visual Intelligence, App Intents, and intelligent assistants. Use when implementing AI-powered features.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. 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 AI-powered features

Example prompts

  • “/apple-intelligence”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Privacy First
  2. Graceful Degradation
  3. Efficient Prompting

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.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Apple Intelligence loads about 647 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 242 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~647

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 242 words (~647 tokens).

“Skills for implementing Apple Intelligence features including on-device LLMs, visual recognition, App Intents integration, and intelligent assistants.”
