Skill4 starsChanged 10 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
New App Intents APIs, behaviors, and deprecations introduced in the iOS 26 (2025) and iOS 27 (2026) releases (and their macOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS siblings). Use when adopting, migrating to, or asked about: declaring where an intent runs with supportedModes / IntentModes (.background / .foreground) or migrating off the deprecated openAppWhenRun; pulling a background run into the foreground with continueInForeground / needsToContinueInForegroundError; UndoableIntent; asking the person to pick from a small set mid-perform with requestChoice / IntentChoiceOption; cancelling with CancellableIntent / IntentCancellationReason; long-running or background work with LongRunningIntent / performBackgroundTask; restricting where an intent runs with IntentExecutionTargets / allowedExecutionTargets; returning interactive snippets with SnippetIntent and Button(intent:); Visual Intelligence camera/onscreen search with IntentValueQuery + SemanticContentDescriptor (import VisualIntelligence) + @UnionValue; associating onscreen content with an entity via appEntityIdentifier; mapping entity values into Spotlight with @Property / @ComputedProperty / @DeferredProperty(indexingKey:); system-driven Spotlight reindex with IndexedEntityQuery; linking a CSSearchableItem to an entity with relatedAppEntityIdentifier; proactively surfacing entities with RelevantEntities + AppEntityContext; cross-device entities with SyncableEntity / SyncableEntityIdentifier and EntityOwnership / OwnershipProvidingEntity; @ComputedProperty / @DeferredProperty convenience properties; running a system shortcut with SystemShortcut / RunSystemShortcutIntent; passing a large entity set cheaply with EntityCollection; surfacing @UnionValue types as Shortcuts parameters with AppUnionValue; adopting Apple Intelligence schemas with @AppIntent(schema:) / @AppEntity(schema:) / @AppEnum(schema:) (migrating off the deprecated @AssistantIntent); unit-testing intents with AppIntentsTesting; or 'what's new in App Intents in iOS 26 / iOS 27'. For evergreen (non-version-specific) App Intents best practices, use the app-intents-specialist skill instead.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
