  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by cometchat on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Cometchat Ios Push AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cometchat/cometchat-skills.git /tmp/cometchat-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/cometchat-skills/skills/cometchat-ios-push .claude/skills/cometchat-ios-push
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Cometchat Ios Push in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Cometchat Ios Push on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Cometchat Ios Push is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Companion skills (read first)

  • cometchat-ios-core owns setup and login. This skill ADDS delivery. It is docs-first and thin: push depends on your Apple account, certificates and Dashboard configuration, so fetch the notifications docs via cometchat-ios-core/references/docs-map.md rather than trusting a baked recipe.

Use this skill when

"add push notifications", "open the right chat when a notification is tapped", "ring on an incoming call while backgrounded".

What you must have before any code

Push is not a code-only feature. All of these are prerequisites and none are things a skill can do for the user: an Apple Developer account with the Push Notifications capability, an APNs key or certificate uploaded to the CometChat Dashboard, and the Notifications product enabled for the app. If any are missing, say so plainly and stop — do not emit code that cannot work.

The shape of the integration — use CometChatPushNotifications, do NOT hand-roll

The current, canonical iOS path is the CometChatPushNotifications SDK (module CometChatPushNotificationsSwift), the same one cometchat-ios-v5-sdk documents. Do not hand-roll UIKitSettings.set(deviceToken:) / set(voipToken:), PKPushRegistryDelegate or CXProviderDelegate — those setters exist but are the legacy path the sample app and current docs no longer use.

  1. Request authorisation and register for remote notifications (on a real device — the simulator does not receive APNs).
  2. After CometChat.init, call CometChatPushNotifications.shared.initialize(config:) and set its .delegate. In didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken, forward the APNs token with CometChatPushNotifications.shared.registerDeviceToken(_:). Ordering is not your problem — the token can arrive before login; the SDK caches it and binds it to the user automatically once you initialize and the user logs in. (There is no need to gate didRegister… on login, and no set(deviceToken:) call.)
  3. Handle the tap: read the payload, resolve the conversation, and push your chat screen — the same screen core builds. A notification that opens the app to the wrong place is the push equivalent of a dead-end affordance.
  4. Log out unregisters. Leaving a stale token delivers a user's messages to a device someone else may now be using — treat it as a correctness and privacy requirement, not a nicety.

VoIP / calls

Ringing while backgrounded is also CometChatPushNotifications, not a hand-rolled channel: it owns PushKit + CallKit for you (registerForVoIPPushes(), presentCallScreen(for:sessionId:)). Never write your own PKPushRegistryDelegate / CXProviderDelegate or call UIKitSettings.set(voipToken:) — the SDK owns both and a hand-rolled one fights it for the same callbacks. Full VoIP wiring lives in cometchat-ios-v5-sdk (§ "VoIP call notifications"); it needs an APNs VoIP provider in the Dashboard, the Voice-over-IP Background Mode, and a physical device.

Gotchas

  • Simulator cannot verify this. Delivery must be checked on a physical device; expect the automated gate to report push as blocked-external.
  • Badge counts drift unless you update and clear them deliberately.
  • Sandbox vs production APNs are different environments — a token from one will not deliver on the other.

Verify it works

On a real device: background the app, send a message from another user, see the notification, tap it and land in the right conversation. Then log out and confirm notifications stop.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Cometchat Ios Push AI skill do?

Add push notifications to an iOS CometChat app — APNs registration, token handoff, tap-to-open, badge counts and VoIP call pushes. Triggers: 'push notifications cometchat ios', 'apns cometchat', 'open chat from notification ios', 'voip push call ios'.

Why use Cometchat Ios Push on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Cometchat Ios Push is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Cometchat Ios Push in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/cometchat/cometchat-skills/tree/main/skills/cometchat-ios-push. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Cometchat Ios Push?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Cometchat Ios Push?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Cometchat Ios Push with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Cometchat Ios Push AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by cometchat under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
