What is build-and-run-macos-app?

A command that creates or updates a project script for building and launching a macOS app. It supports projects managed by Xcode or Swift Package Manager and can connect the script to the Codex app's Run button.

Use it to set up build-and-run workflows for Xcode workspaces, Xcode projects, Swift packages, command-line tools, and AppKit or SwiftUI apps.

It gives the project one repeatable way to stop an old process, build the current code, launch the fresh app, and optionally inspect or verify it.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00435
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00217
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00087
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00044

Security

Grade A, and why

build-and-run-macos-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 12d 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.
