tag-app

A command that creates one small macOS application for each Finder tag it discovers or you select. Finder tags are colored labels attached to files.

In plain words
What is it for?
For discovering tags, building tag-specific applications, opening the generated folder, and pinning selected buttons to Finder's toolbar.
Why use it?
It turns frequently used tags into clickable Finder toolbar buttons, avoiding repeated tag searches or menu actions.

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

tag-app 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

Use Bash (one call, then stop). If $ARGUMENTS is a single tag name with no flags, prefer the single-tag builder; otherwise pass through to the bulk builder which defaults to --discover.

/Users/esaruoho/work/apple/bin/build-tag-apps $ARGUMENTS

After build, tell the user (one line):

  • Opened /Applications/AppleToolbox/Apple-Tag-Apps/ with one colored Tag X.app per tag. ⌘-drag the ones you want onto a Finder window's toolbar to pin them. Then: select files → click an icon → tagged (drops work too). The .app route is the ONLY way to get custom one-click buttons in Finder's toolbar — Customize Toolbar's palette refuses Shortcuts/Quick Actions/Services. Full gotcha: wiki/concepts/finder-toolbar-locked.md.
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.
