dock

A macOS command-line manager for the Dock, the row of app and folder shortcuts on the screen. It can list, add, remove, or clear Dock items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage apps, files, folders, saved searches, spacer tiles, and persistent items in the Dock.
Why use it?
It avoids changing Dock shortcuts manually and applies edits immediately.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dock scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Run the apple-skill dock wrapper on $ARGUMENTS.

Use Bash to execute (one call, then stop):

/Users/esaruoho/work/apple/bin/dock $ARGUMENTS

Subcommands:

  • list — show every Dock item (apps + folders/files)
  • add <path> — add a folder, .savedSearch, file, or .app to the Dock
  • add-spacer — add a blank spacer tile
  • remove <path|label> — remove by full path or by displayed label
  • clear-others — remove every persistent-others entry (right side)

Apple-native: plistlib only. After every write the script killalls cfprefsd and Dock so the change appears immediately.

After the command completes, report only the lines it printed.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
