apple-on-device-ai

Designs private on-device AI for Apple platforms with Foundation Models (including iOS 27 LanguageModel providers, Private Cloud Compute, multimodal prompts, Dynamic Profiles), Core AI, Core ML, MLX Swift, or llama.cpp. Use for local LLM runtime selection, Apple Intelligence chat or tool use, Apple Silicon inference, model conversion/compression, or backend comparison; route Core ML prediction code to coreml.

Quality

Content

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured overview skill: decisive framework-selection guidance, mostly executable snippets, an explicit review checklist, and clean one-level reference architecture. The main improvements are tightening repeated iOS 27 details, fixing the MLX snippet to the real API, and giving the compression section at least one runnable command.

Suggestions

Correct the MLX Swift snippet to the real MLXLLM API (LLMModelFactory.shared.loadContainer + MLXLMCommon.generate, as already shown in references/mlx-swift.md) so the inline example is copy-paste executable.

Deduplicate iOS 27 capability mentions (router table, Foundation Models section, Common Mistakes, Checklist) into the single iOS 27 section/reference, keeping the body's version-sensitive details in one stable place.

Add one runnable coremltools.optimize.coreml quantization command or short snippet to the Model Compression section, since it is the only guidance section with no concrete code.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Largely lean and table/code-driven with no tutorial padding, but the intro paragraph duplicates the description, iOS 27 capabilities are repeated across the router table, Foundation Models section, Common Mistakes, and Checklist, and version-sensitive details are not confined to a deprecated/old-patterns section. Anchor 5's "every token earns its place" is not quite met; anchor 3's noticeable padding is clearly exceeded.

4 / 5

Actionability

The Foundation Models and coremltools snippets are concrete and copy-paste ready, and the router table gives decisive selection guidance. However the MLX snippet ("LLMModelFactory.shared.load(modelName:)" / "model.generate(prompt:)") does not match the real API the skill's own reference file uses (loadContainer + generate), and the compression section is described without any commands — minor gaps that keep it below the fully-executable anchor 5, well above the pseudocode anchor 3.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The implied select → implement → optimize → verify flow is supported by an explicit Review Checklist with concrete checkpoints (availability gating, memory measurement on lowest device, Neural Engine verification via MLComputePlan). Not a destructive or batch skill so no cap applies, but there is no explicit step sequence or error-recovery feedback loop, which anchor 5 requires.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

SKILL.md is a concise overview with a working TOC, and all six files cited in the References section exist in references/, are one level deep, and each carries a descriptive one-liner; the iOS 27 section also links its detail file inline. Reference files cross-link only to siblings, never deeper, matching the clear-overview anchor exactly.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: concrete, third-person, comprehensive across frameworks, with an explicit use-when clause and explicit conflict routing to a sibling skill. The only gap is a handful of natural synonym trigger terms (e.g., quantization, offline inference).

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "local LLM runtime selection", "Apple Intelligence chat or tool use", "Apple Silicon inference", "model conversion/compression", "backend comparison" — covering every framework in the skill, in third-person voice. No gaps; matches the comprehensive-coverage anchor rather than the minor-gaps anchor at 4.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both questions: a clear what ("Designs private on-device AI for Apple platforms with Foundation Models… Core AI, Core ML, MLX Swift, or llama.cpp") and an explicit when ("Use for local LLM runtime selection, Apple Intelligence chat or tool use…") with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural phrasing users would actually say ("on-device AI", "Apple Intelligence", "local LLM", "Apple Silicon", framework names), clearly above anchor 3's partial coverage. Falls short of anchor 5's comprehensive synonyms — common terms like "quantization", "GGUF", or "offline/edge AI" are absent.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear Apple on-device niche with distinct triggers, and even resolves the main overlap risk by routing "Core ML prediction code to coreml". Minimal conflict risk.
