What it does

Assistive Access is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Assistive Access implementation for cognitive accessibility including simplified scenes, navigation icons, runtime detection, and design principles. Use when optimizing apps for Assistive Access mode.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k 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 Mobile, covering iOS development and Accessibility. 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

  • Optimizing apps for Assistive Access mode
  • Tasks that involve iOS development
  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/assistive-access”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Declare Support in Info.plist
  2. Add the Assistive Access Scene
  3. Distill to Core Functionality
  4. Clear, Prominent Controls
  5. Multiple Representations
  6. Intuitive Navigation
  7. Safe Interactions

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 and xml).

    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

Assistive Access loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 772 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
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 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 772 words (~2,520 tokens).

“Guide for implementing Assistive Access support in iOS and iPadOS apps. Assistive Access (iOS 17+/iPadOS 17+) provides a streamlined system experience for people with cognitive disabilities, presenting simplified interfaces with large controls and reduced complexity.”
