sensorkit
Access research-grade sensor data using SensorKit for approved studies. Use when an app needs SensorKit entitlement setup, Research Sensor & Usage Data authorization, ambient light, recorded motion, device usage, keyboard metrics, visits, speech, face, wrist temperature, ECG, PPG, acoustic settings, or sleep-session data. Route ordinary motion to CoreMotion and health records/workouts to HealthKit.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# SensorKit Choose the exact `SRSensor` and verify its individual availability. Use CoreMotion for ordinary motion/activity features and HealthKit for health records and workouts. ## Contents - [Overview and Requirements](#overview-and-requirements) - [Entitlements](#entitlements) - [Info.plist Configuration](#infoplist-configuration) - [Authorization](#authorization) - [Available Sensors](#available-sensors) - [SRSensorReader](#srsensorreader) - [Recording and Fetching Data](#recording-and-fetching-data) - [SRDevice](#srdevice) - [Common Mistakes](#common-mistakes) - [Review Checklist](#review-checklist) - [References](#references) ## Overview and Requirements SensorKit enables research apps to record and fetch sensor data across iPhone and Apple Watch. The framework requires: 1. **Apple-approved research study** -- submit a proposal at [researchandcare.org](https://www.researchandcare.org/resources/accessing-sensorkit-data/). 2. **SensorKit entitlement** -- Apple grants `com.apple.developer.sensorkit.reader.allow` only for approved studies. 3. **Manual provisioning profile** -- Xcode requires an explicit App ID with the SensorKit capability enabled. 4. **User authorization** -- t

What does the sensorkit skill do?
Access research-grade sensor data using SensorKit for approved studies. Use when an app needs SensorKit entitlement setup, Research Sensor & Usage Data authorization, ambient light, recorded motion, device usage, keyboard metrics, visits, speech, face, wrist temperature, ECG, PPG, acoustic settings, or sleep-session data. Route ordinary motion to CoreMotion and health records/workouts to HealthKit.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills --skill sensorkit --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills, a repository with 963 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
