What it does
Mapkit is an agent skill from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. MapKit and GeoToolbox skills — PlaceDescriptor patterns, geocoding, and cross-service place identifiers with MapKit integration. Use when working with maps, place data, or geocoding.
Its SKILL.md is about 270 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 Data & Analytics, covering Geospatial analysis. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for Apple platform development (iOS, macOS, iPadOS) — product validation, code generation, App Store optimization, and more. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Working with maps
- Tasks that involve Geospatial analysis
Example prompts
- “/mapkit”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read geotoolbox/SKILL.md (relative to this file) plus any reference files it lists.
- Apply the guidance to the user's code.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ffb831. 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.
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
Mapkit loads about 274 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 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.

When should I use Mapkit?
Mapkit fits situations like: working with maps; tasks that involve Geospatial analysis.
How do I install Mapkit in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill mapkit -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/mapkit in rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills) into .claude/skills/mapkit in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/mapkit, .gemini/skills/mapkit, .github/skills/mapkit and .opencode/skills/mapkit in your project.
What does Mapkit need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Mapkit is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Glob, Grep.
Does Mapkit access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
