  • The user mentions design

What it does

iOS Design Guidelines is an agent skill from MacMagazine/app-iOS. MacMagazine design reference — theme tokens, card selection, typography, touch targets, accessibility, dark mode. Use when creating or restyling UI, choosing which card view renders content, picking colors or fonts, or when the user mentions "design", "theme", "card", "dark mode", or "accessibility".

Its SKILL.md is about 770 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 Frontend & Design, covering Theming and dark mode, Design tokens and Typography. It works with iOS. The repository describes itself as: O melhor pedaço da Maçã.

When your agent uses it

  • Choosing which card view renders content
  • The user mentions design

Example prompts

  • “design”
  • “dark mode”
  • “accessibility”
  • “/ios-design-guidelines”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8544bc2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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

    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 Design Guidelines loads about 767 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 209 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~767

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 209 words (~767 tokens).

“MacMagazine uses a custom ThemeColor system injected via environment:”
