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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 58 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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 | $0.00050 | $0.02298 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.01149 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00460 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00230 |
Grade A, and why
apple-hig-command-palette 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 487 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Apple HIG Command Palette
Design and review a native-feeling ⌘K command palette: a fast, keyboard-first layer on top of the app for global search, quick actions, and jump-to navigation — not a replacement for the sidebar. Reach for this for keyboard-first workflows, global search, quick actions, jump-to navigation, task launching, skill running, project switching, prompt execution, and power-user workflows.
Apple does not treat “command palette” as a single standard control like NavigationSplitView or .toolbar, so this skill adapts Apple-native patterns: menu commands, keyboard shortcuts, Spotlight-style search, SF Symbols, accessibility, and calm macOS interaction design.
Core rule
Sidebar = visible navigation
Toolbar = current-screen actions
Inspector = selected-item details
Command Palette = fast global control
The command palette is not a replacement for the sidebar. It is a fast layer on top of the app.
A good command palette answers:
What do you want to do?
Where do you want to go?
What do you want to find?
When to use a command palette
Use a command palette when the app has many commands, views, files, projects, prompts, skills, or workflows that power users need to access quickly.
Good use cases:
- Jump to project
- Open file
- Run skill
- Create task
- Start an agent run
- Search prompts
- Switch workspace
- Open settings
- Generate report
- Open recent note
- Run saved automation
- Toggle inspector
- Change theme
- Copy current path
Avoid using the command palette for:
- Replacing all visible navigation
- Hiding essential beginner flows
- Complex forms
- Long onboarding
- Dangerous destructive commands without confirmation
- Everything in the app with no ranking or grouping
Apple-style principles
1. Make it keyboard-first
Default shortcut:
⌘K = Open command palette
Optional alternatives:
⌘P = Quick open file/project
⇧⌘P = Full command list
A safe default:
⌘K = Command Palette
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

apple-hig-command-palette is a skill published in the GitHub repository aka-kika/akakika-skills (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 2,298 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
