Implement Liquid Glass design using .glassEffect() API for iOS/macOS 26+.

  • Works in 3 steps: Create a namespace → Assign glass effect IDs → Use animations on state changes
  • Creating modern glass-based UI effects
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Quick Start (SwiftUI), Glass Configuration Options and Multiple Glass Effects, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Liquid Glass is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Implement Liquid Glass design using .glassEffect() API for iOS/macOS 26+. Covers SwiftUI, AppKit, UIKit, and WidgetKit. Use when creating modern glass-based UI effects.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.6k 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 macOS, SwiftUI and 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

  • Creating modern glass-based UI effects
  • Tasks that involve iOS development

Example prompts

  • “/liquid-glass”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create a namespace
  2. Assign glass effect IDs
  3. Use animations on state changes

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
    • 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

    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

Liquid Glass loads about 5.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 892 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.6k

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 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 892 words (~5,600 tokens).

“Implement Apple's Liquid Glass design language across all Apple UI frameworks. Covers SwiftUI (.glassEffect()), AppKit (NSGlassEffectView), UIKit (UIGlassEffect + UIVisualEffectView), and WidgetKit (rendering modes, accented content, glass elements in widgets).”
