What it does
Coding Best Practices is an agent skill from KartikLabhshetwar/better-shot. Reviews macOS Swift 6+ code for modern idioms, SOLID principles, SwiftData patterns, and concurrency best practices. Use when reviewing macOS code quality or asking about best practices.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `architecture-principles.md`, `code-organization.md` and `data-persistence.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Design patterns, iOS development and Code quality. It works with macOS, Swift and SwiftUI. The repository describes itself as: Screenshot, screen recording, and video editor for macOS. Native SwiftUI app with capture deck, 75+ customizable shortcuts, URL scheme automation, and self-hosted cloud sharing…
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing macOS code quality
- Asking about best practices
Example prompts
- “Use the coding-best-practices skill to review macOS Swift 6+ code for modern idioms, SOLID principles, SwiftData patterns, and concurrency best…”
- “/coding-best-practices”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Understand Context
- Systematic Review
- Provide Structured Feedback
- Prioritize Recommendations
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 102b364. 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:
ReadGlobGrep
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 markdown).
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
Coding Best Practices loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 678 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 678 words (~1,756 tokens).
“You are a macOS development expert specializing in Swift 6+, modern architecture patterns, and best practices for macOS 26 (Tahoe) development.”
