snap

A command that arranges application windows into a grid across one or more displays. It can tile all visible apps or only windows belonging to a selected app.

In plain words
What is it for?
For tiling windows, targeting an app or screen, distributing windows across displays, inspecting layouts, and adjusting the number of layout passes.
Why use it?
It quickly organizes many windows into usable positions and can show current window geometry or list available displays.

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

snap 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 snap wrapper on $ARGUMENTS.

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

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

Modes:

  • /snap — tile every visible foreground app, one cell per app (every window of that app stacks in the cell)
  • /snap iterm2 — tile iTerm's 4 windows in a 2×2 grid on the main screen (uses iTerm's own AppleScript dictionary for stable window IDs)
  • /snap safari — tile Safari's tabs/windows
  • /snap mail — tile Mail windows (Mail enforces a min-width on its main window)
  • /snap iterm2 1 — tile on screen 1 (second display)
  • /snap subl all — distribute Sublime windows round-robin across all screens
  • /snap --screens — list available displays with index + visible-frame dimensions
  • /snap --show [<app>] — report current window geometry without tiling (delegates to /window-frame; Goldilocks pre-pass)
  • /snap --passes 5 mail — override the default 3-pass convergence loop

Grid is non-uniform row-based: n windows → rows = round(sqrt(n)), each row gets ceil/floor of n/rows cells. 5 → 3+2, 7 → 4+3, 11 → 4+4+3. Every cell filled, no empty slots.

After the command completes, report only the lines it printed. Do not summarize results.

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.
