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.
13 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by peterbamuhigire on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

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

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.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/peterbamuhigire/chwezi-dev-engine/tree/main/skills/ios/ios-platform-capabilities
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/peterbamuhigire/chwezi-dev-engine.git /tmp/chwezi-dev-engine
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/chwezi-dev-engine/skills/ios/ios-platform-capabilities .claude/skills/ios-platform-capabilities

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ios Platform Capabilities 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 Ios Platform Capabilities 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 Ios Platform Capabilities 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.

Use When

Implementing or reviewing iOS capabilities that require Apple frameworks, entitlements, permissions, device hardware, background delivery, native export, Siri exposure, or Spotlight indexing.
The task references App Intents, App Entities, App Schemas, View Annotations, Core Spotlight, WidgetKit, LocalAuthentication, CoreBluetooth, APNs, notification extensions, URLSession, offline queues, certificate pinning, NowPlaying, Music Understanding, or UIGraphicsPDFRenderer.
A retired capability skill is referenced by name.

Do Not Use When

The work is general iOS architecture or UI without a platform framework capability.
The work is StoreKit monetization; use ios-monetization.
The work is security/RBAC governance rather than capability implementation; use ios-security-and-rbac.

Required Inputs

Capability scope, target iOS versions, entitlements, permission copy, backend/API contract, offline requirements, privacy disclosures, and relevant device constraints.

Workflow

Load ios-development for baseline Swift and app-structure rules.
Load ios-security-and-rbac when the capability touches secrets, identity, device trust, authorization, or tenant data.
Load references/app-intents-siri-spotlight-wwdc26.md when the feature exposes content/actions to Siri, Spotlight, widgets, or App Intents Testing.
Pick the reference for the requested capability and follow its implementation workflow.
Verify simulator/device limitations, entitlement setup, fallback behaviour, App Review evidence, and user-facing permission states.

Quality Standards

Capabilities must handle permission denied, unavailable hardware, offline operation where relevant, and background lifecycle constraints.
Native framework use must be testable, privacy-compliant, and documented in release notes or app-review evidence when required.
Siri/App Intents integrations must have entity/action inventory, semantic-index privacy review, App Intents tests, and unavailable-state handling.

Anti-Patterns

Implementing hardware or notification features without real-device verification.
Hiding entitlement, permission, or App Review requirements inside code comments only.
Building PDF/report/networking features without retry, failure, and export-state handling.

Outputs

Capability implementation guidance, framework integration checklist, entitlement/privacy notes, test plan, or review findings.

Inputs

Artefact	Produced by	Required?	Why
Capability use case and fallback	Product owner	required	Prevents unnecessary entitlement requests
Privacy and threat assessment	`ios-security-and-rbac`	required for sensitive capabilities	Defines permission and data boundaries
Supported device/OS matrix	`mobile-platform-operations`	required	Establishes availability branches

Decision Rules

Condition	Action
Capability works without permission	Do not request the permission
Permission is contextual	Ask immediately before the user action that needs it
Device or OS lacks the framework	Provide a documented in-app fallback
Entitlement is not approved or provisioned	Stop release of that capability

Domain Anti-Patterns

Requesting every permission at launch. Fix: ask in context after explaining value.
Assuming an entitlement exists because code compiles. Fix: verify provisioning and device behaviour.
Indexing sensitive content into Spotlight. Fix: classify and exclude private records.
Making Siri or widgets the only path. Fix: retain an accessible in-app workflow.
Treating Bluetooth transport success as print success. Fix: confirm protocol response and retry state.
references/ios-biometric-login.md for Face ID/Touch ID launch gates and LocalAuthentication.
references/ios-bluetooth-printing.md for CoreBluetooth ESC/POS thermal printing.
references/ios-push-notifications.md for APNs, rich notifications, service extensions, and silent push.
references/ios-pdf-export.md for native multipage PDF export with UIGraphicsPDFRenderer.
references/ios-networking-advanced.md for production URLSession, typed errors, refresh, pinning, multipart, and offline queues.
references/app-intents-siri-spotlight-wwdc26.md for App Intents, App Entities, App Schemas, View Annotations, Spotlight semantic indexing, App Intents Testing, and widget customization.
references/apple-framework-watch-items-wwdc26.md for NowPlaying, Music Understanding, RAW, camera/media, Background Assets, Game Porting Toolkit, Unity plugins, and specialty follow-up routing.

Evidence Produced

Category	Artifact	Format	Example
Correctness	Apple capability integration evidence	Markdown plus device/test output	availability, entitlement, permission denial, data lifecycle, fallback, and device result

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 Ios Platform Capabilities AI skill do?

Why use Ios Platform Capabilities on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ios Platform Capabilities 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 Ios Platform Capabilities in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/peterbamuhigire/chwezi-dev-engine/tree/main/skills/ios/ios-platform-capabilities. 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 Ios Platform Capabilities?

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 Ios Platform Capabilities?

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

Is the Ios Platform Capabilities AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by peterbamuhigire 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.
