Awesome Siri Skills

A curated library of Siri app skills, plus a CLI and MCP server to validate and ship them.

Since iOS 27.3, any app can plug into Siri AI through App Intents. App skills are short SKILL.md files in your app's Skills.skillsbundle that teach Siri how to combine your intents for a task: which tools to call, in what order, when to ask, and what never to do.

This repo gives you:

• 40 example skills across 18 app categories. Copy a folder into your bundle and rename the tools.
• siriskills CLI that validates every bundle in your Xcode project, including the traps Xcode stays silent about.
• MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code can write, install, and validate skills for you.

[!NOTE] These are Siri app skills, read by Siri's model on the user's device. They are not coding-assistant skills, even though both use SKILL.md.

Quick start

# Check every Skills.skillsbundle in your project
npx -y siriskills validate .

# Start from an example
npx -y siriskills add reorder-delivery --bundle MyApp/Skills.skillsbundle

# Or let your coding agent do it
claude mcp add siriskills -- npx -y siriskills mcp

How app skills work

MyApp/
└── Skills.skillsbundle/          ← one per target (Skills Bundle template in Xcode)
    └── Skills/
        └── reorder-delivery/     ← folder name == skill name
            └── SKILL.md          ← the only file that ships

---
name: reorder-delivery
description: Reorder food from a past delivery. Use when the user asks to reorder, order again, or get the usual. Not for browsing menus.
---

# Reorder a Delivery

1. Use the Find Past Orders tool. If more than one order matches, ask which one.
2. Add each item with the Add to Cart tool, keeping the same quantities.
3. Use the Show Cart tool and ask the user to confirm before they pay.

The rules, from Apple's Skills Bundle documentation:

Rule	Why it matters
Frontmatter has only name and description	Any other field is ignored with a warning
name is kebab-case, ≤ 64 chars, equals the folder name	Otherwise it's a build error
description ≤ 1,024 chars	Siri routes on the description alone, so put the phrasing and boundaries there
Refer to tools by title ("the Add to Cart tool")	Swift type names aren't part of the API
Only SKILL.md is compiled	references/ and other files are ignored
One error anywhere means no skills ship at all	Not just the broken one
Bundle must be in Copy Bundle Resources	Otherwise nothing compiles and Xcode shows no message
Skill names must be unique across app, extensions, frameworks	Duplicates silently drop one, undefined which
Skills guide; they don't enforce	Protect sensitive actions in code, not in prose

Skill library

Every skill is written for a hypothetical app. None is taken from a shipping app. Rename the tools to match your own App Intents titles. Browse them with icons and notes at siriskills.com/templates.

CLI

siriskills validate [path…]        Validate bundles under path (default .), a skill folder, or a SKILL.md
    --strict                       Treat warnings as errors (good for CI)
    --tips                         Also show description routing tips
    --json                         Machine-readable output
siriskills check-build <App.app>   Confirm Xcode compiled your skills (.skillsc) into a built app
siriskills new <name>              Scaffold Skills/<name>/SKILL.md   [--bundle path] [--force]
siriskills list [category]         List the example skills
siriskills show <name>             Print an example skill
siriskills add <name>              Copy an example skill into your bundle   [--bundle path] [--as name]
siriskills mcp                     Run the MCP server over stdio

What validate catches that the Xcode build doesn't:

$ npx siriskills validate .
App/Skills.skillsbundle/Skills/plan-meal/SKILL.md:3: error: 'plan-meal': YAML syntax error. An unquoted ": " inside the description is the usual cause.
✗ App/Skills.skillsbundle — 4 skills
✓ Widget/Skills.skillsbundle — 1 skill
warning: skill name 'reorder-delivery' is used twice; only one is kept and which one is undefined:
  App/Skills.skillsbundle/Skills/reorder-delivery/SKILL.md
  Widget/Skills.skillsbundle/Skills/reorder-delivery/SKILL.md

1 error: the app will ship with no skills at all.

Add it to CI:

- run: npx -y siriskills validate . --strict

After building, confirm the bundle actually compiled:

npx siriskills check-build ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-*/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/MyApp.app

MCP server

Two ways to connect. Both are free, with no API key.
