What it does

iOS Development is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Comprehensive iOS development guidance including Swift best practices, SwiftUI patterns, UI/UX review against HIG, and app planning. Use for iOS code review, best practices, accessibility audits, or planning new iOS apps.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 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. It works with iOS and SwiftUI. 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

  • IOS code review
  • Accessibility audits
  • Planning new iOS apps

Example prompts

  • “/ios-development”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify user's need from their question
  2. Read relevant module files from subdirectories
  3. Apply the guidance to their specific context
  4. Reference Apple HIG documentation when needed

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
    • WebFetch

    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

iOS Development loads about 582 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~582

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 250 words (~582 tokens).

“Comprehensive guidance for iOS app development. This skill aggregates specialized modules for different aspects of iOS development.”
