Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills at 9ffb831382.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides comprehensive security reviews specifically tailored for applications built on Apple platforms (iOS, macOS, and watchOS). It analyzes code to identify vulnerabilities and suggests secure implementation patterns related to storage, authentication, and network communication. The review process involves identifying the app's security surface, examining secure storage practices, assessing biometric authentication implementations, and evaluating network security configurations.

When to use it

This skill is helpful in these scenarios:

  • When you need a "security review" or "security audit" of your Apple platform application.
  • You are implementing "secure storage" or using the Keychain for sensitive data.
  • Your app utilizes "Face ID," "Touch ID," or other biometric authentication methods.
  • You're dealing with "certificate pinning" or require guidance on "network security."
  • You need to understand and implement "Data Protection" or encryption strategies.

Key capabilities

  • Security Surface Identification: Uses grep commands to locate code related to security features (e.g., Keychain, biometric authentication, network communication).
  • Secure Storage Review: Evaluates Keychain usage, Data Protection classes, and Secure Enclave integration for key storage.
  • Authentication Review: Examines Face ID/Touch ID implementation, fallback mechanisms, and LAContext configuration.
  • Network Security Review: Assesses App Transport Security (ATS) configuration, certificate pinning, and TLS best practices.
  • Platform-Specific Guidance: Provides tailored security recommendations for iOS, macOS, and watchOS based on their unique characteristics.
  • Structured Reporting: Presents findings with a clear summary table indicating status (✅/⚠️/❌) for Secure Storage, Authentication, Network Security, and Platform Security, along with detailed descriptions of critical, high, and medium priority vulnerabilities.

Example prompts

  • "Can you perform a security review on my iOS app?"
  • "How should I securely store credentials in my macOS application using the Keychain?"
  • "What are the best practices for implementing Face ID authentication in my watchOS app?"
  • “Review my code for network security vulnerabilities related to certificate pinning.”

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is specifically designed for applications targeting iOS, macOS, and watchOS.
  • The review process relies on grep commands; the accuracy depends on the codebase's structure and coding practices.
  • To get the most out of this skill, provide clear context about your application’s functionality and sensitive data handling.
