  • 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.

  • 5 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

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

Installation

Install the Storekit 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.
    https://github.com/johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering/tree/main/plugins/swift-engineering/skills/storekit
  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.

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/johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering.git /tmp/claude-swift-engineering
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-swift-engineering/plugins/swift-engineering/skills/storekit .claude/skills/storekit
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Storekit 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 Storekit 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 Storekit 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.

StoreKit

StoreKit 2 patterns for implementing in-app purchases with async/await APIs, automatic verification, and SwiftUI integration.

Reference Loading Guide

ALWAYS load reference files if there is even a small chance the content may be required. It's better to have the context than to miss a pattern or make a mistake.

ReferenceLoad When
Getting StartedSetting up .storekit configuration file, testing-first workflow
ProductsLoading products, product types, purchasing with Product.purchase()
SubscriptionsAuto-renewable subscriptions, subscription groups, offers, renewal tracking
TransactionsTransaction listener, verification, finishing transactions, restore purchases
StoreKit ViewsProductView, SubscriptionStoreView, SubscriptionOfferView in SwiftUI

Core Workflow

  1. Create .storekit configuration file first (before any code)
  2. Test purchases locally in Xcode simulator
  3. Implement centralized StoreManager with @MainActor
  4. Set up Transaction.updates listener at app launch
  5. Display products with ProductView or custom UI
  6. Always call transaction.finish() after granting entitlements

Essential Architecture

swift
@MainActor
final class StoreManager: ObservableObject {
    @Published private(set) var products: [Product] = []
    @Published private(set) var purchasedProductIDs: Set<String> = []
    private var transactionListener: Task<Void, Never>?

    init() {
        transactionListener = listenForTransactions()
        Task { await loadProducts() }
    }
}

Common Mistakes

  1. Missing .finish() calls on transactions — Forgetting to call transaction.finish() after granting entitlements causes transactions to never complete. The user won't see their purchase reflected. Always call finish().

  2. Unsafe StoreManager state — Shared StoreManager without @MainActor can have race conditions. Multiple async tasks can update @Published properties concurrently, corrupting state. Use @MainActor for thread safety.

  3. No transaction listener at app launch — Not setting up Transaction.updates listener means app crashes or misses refunded/canceled purchases. Listen for transactions immediately in @main, not when user taps purchase button.

  4. Hardcoded product IDs — Hardcoded IDs make testing and localization hard. Use configuration files or environment variables for product IDs. Same applies to prices (fetch from App Store, don't hardcode).

  5. Ignoring verification failures — App Store verification fails silently sometimes. Not checking verification status means accepting unverified transactions (security risk). Always verify before granting entitlements.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Storekit AI skill do?

Use when implementing in-app purchases, StoreKit 2 subscriptions, consumables, non-consumables, or transaction handling. Covers testing-first workflow with .storekit configuration, StoreManager architecture, and transaction verification.

Why use Storekit on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Storekit 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 Storekit in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering/tree/main/plugins/swift-engineering/skills/storekit. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Storekit?

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 Storekit?

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

Is the Storekit AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by johnrogers 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.
