What it does

Image Loading is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Generates an image loading pipeline with memory/disk caching, deduplication, and a CachedAsyncImage SwiftUI view. Use when user wants image caching, lazy image loading, or a replacement for AsyncImage.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `image-loading-patterns.md` and `templates.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Data cleaning and Caching. It works with SwiftUI, 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

  • User wants image caching
  • Lazy image loading
  • A replacement for AsyncImage

Example prompts

  • “Use the image-loading skill to generate an image loading pipeline with memory/disk caching, deduplication, and a CachedAsyncImage SwiftUI view”
  • “/image-loading”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Project Context Detection
  2. Conflict Detection
  3. Platform Detection
  4. Read Templates
  5. Create Core Files
  6. Create UI Files
  7. Create Optional Files
  8. 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

    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

Image Loading loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 394 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
~1.6k

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 394 words (~1,611 tokens).

“Generate a production image loading pipeline with NSCache memory cache, LRU disk cache, request deduplication, image processing, and a drop-in CachedAsyncImage SwiftUI view.”
