What it does

iOS Sanity Check is an agent skill from MacMagazine/app-iOS. Read-only audit of the entire MacMagazine codebase for quality, consistency, and compliance with CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules standards. Use periodically, before releases, or when the user says "sanity check", "audit", "health check", or "how is the codebase".

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 Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. It works with iOS. The repository describes itself as: O melhor pedaço da Maçã.

When your agent uses it

  • Says sanity check
  • How is the codebase

Example prompts

  • “sanity check”
  • “health check”
  • “how is the codebase”
  • “/ios-sanity-check”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, Agent

Workflow steps

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

  1. Obvious Comments
  2. Force Unwraps in Production Code
  3. @Observable Usage
  4. Card System Compliance
  5. Hardcoded Colors
  6. SwiftLint Compliance
  7. DRY Violations
  8. SOLID Violations
  9. Search System Integrity
  10. WebView System Integrity

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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash
    • Agent

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Sanity Check loads about 766 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~766

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, Grep, Glob, Bash, Agent

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 308 words (~766 tokens).

“Run periodically to audit the codebase. This is read-only analysis — reports findings but does not modify code.”
