What it does

Snapshot Test Setup is an agent skill from gustavscirulis/snapgrid. Set up SwiftUI visual regression testing with swift-snapshot-testing. Generates snapshot test boilerplate and CI configuration. Use for UI regression prevention.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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, Visual regression testing and Project scaffolding. It works with 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

  • UI regression prevention
  • Tasks that involve iOS development
  • Tasks that involve Visual regression testing

Example prompts

  • “/snapshot-test-setup”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Project Context
  2. Configuration Questions
  3. Add Dependency
  4. Create Snapshot Test Base
  5. Generate Snapshot Tests
  6. Recording Reference Images
  7. Re-record When Intentional 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
    • Bash
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • xcodebuild

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.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

Snapshot Test Setup loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 287 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
~2.3k

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 287 words (~2,275 tokens).

“Generate SwiftUI snapshot/visual regression tests using Point-Free's swift-snapshot-testing library. Catches unintended UI changes by comparing rendered views against reference images.”
