What it does

Networking Layer is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Generates a protocol-based networking layer with async/await, error handling, and swappable implementations. Use when user wants to add API client, networking, or HTTP layer.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `networking-patterns.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Async programming and Error handling. It works with Swift. 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 to add API client
  • Tasks that involve Async programming
  • Tasks that involve Error handling

Example prompts

  • “Use the networking-layer skill to generate a protocol-based networking layer with async/await, error handling, and swappable implementations”
  • “/networking-layer”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Project Context Detection
  2. Conflict Detection
  3. Create Core Files
  4. Optional Files
  5. 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

    Ships script files (Swift), which the agent can run.

    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

Networking Layer loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 278 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 278 words (~1,085 tokens).

“Generate a modern, protocol-based networking layer using Swift's async/await concurrency, with proper error handling and easy testability.”
