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

documentation-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 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.

macOS App Documentation Rules

Applies to: macOS app articles under macOS/DuckDuckGo/Documentation.docc/

Focus

This directory contains app-level documentation for the macOS browser:

  • How the macOS app integrates with packages
  • macOS-specific architecture patterns
  • Platform-specific implementations (system extensions, IPC, etc.)
  • Feature coordination within the app

What Belongs Here

DO document:

  • macOS app architecture (Tab system, MainWindow, Coordinators)
  • Integration with packages (how macOS uses TunnelController, UserScript, etc.)
  • Platform-specific features (system extensions, VPN agent, menu bar)
  • UI components (NavigationBar, Preferences, MenuSystem)
  • macOS-specific patterns and best practices

DON'T document:

  • Package protocol APIs (those go in package docs)
  • Protocol definitions (unless app-specific like BookmarkManager)
  • Generic patterns that iOS also uses (those go in package docs)

Code Guidelines

Minimize inline code - Keep total to ~10-15 blocks across ALL articles:

  • Prefer file references: "See ClassName.swift"
  • Prefer architecture diagrams
  • Link to package docs for API examples
  • Only show code for truly unique app patterns

Cross-Referencing

Always link to package docs for API details:

For the TunnelController API, see `TunnelController` in the VPN package.
See <doc:UserScript> in BrowserServicesKit for protocol documentation.

# Feature Name

Brief overview of the macOS app feature.

## Overview

What this feature does in the context of the macOS app.

For the [Package] API, see `ProtocolName` in the [Package] package.

## Architecture

macOS-specific architecture:
- How components are organized
- Process boundaries (if any)
- Integration points

## Key Components

- Component descriptions with DocC type references (e.g. ``ClassName``) or bare filenames — not full folder paths
- macOS-specific implementations
- File references, not code blocks

## Common Tasks

How to work with this feature in the macOS app:
- Brief procedural descriptions
- File references
- Link to package docs for API usage

## Related Topics

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.
