On-device LLM integration using Apple's Foundation Models framework. Use when implementing AI text generation, structured output, or tool calling.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Foundation Models

Integrate Apple's on-device LLM into your apps for privacy-preserving AI features. Companion references: **safety-and-guardrails.md** (model limits, prompt design, the four-layer safety stack), **models-and-agents.md** (Private Cloud Compute, `LanguageModel` protocol, vision input, `DynamicProfile` agentic sessions — the iOS 27 wave), and **utilities-package.md** (Apple's open-source utilities package: OpenAI-compatible endpoints, just-in-time Skills, history compression).

## When This Skill Activates

- User wants AI text generation features
- User needs structured data from natural language
- User asks about prompting or LLM integration
- User wants to implement AI assistants or agentic features (tool loops, multi-profile sessions)
- User needs content summarization or extraction
- User asks about Private Cloud Compute, guardrails, or model safety

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills/foundation-models@sha256:a821c5f4b3fa158e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.32566aa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
