altic-studio

altic-studio is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from altic-dev/altic-mcp. It costs 23 tokens per session (3,439 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A macOS automation toolkit for controlling applications, Chrome, files, the clipboard, windows, and workspaces. It uses AppleScript for some system actions and browser-control interfaces for Chrome.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open apps, send messages, manage reminders or notes, control Chrome, handle files and clipboard data, take screenshots, or arrange windows on macOS.
Why use it?
It removes repetitive manual actions across Mac apps, browser windows, files, and clipboard content by allowing an agent to coordinate them.

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

altic-studio 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 4d 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.

Altic Studio

altic-studio provides two automation modes:

  1. AppleScript mode for macOS apps and system actions
  2. MCP CDP mode for Google Chrome browser control
  3. MCP file mode for safe Finder and filesystem operations
  4. MCP clipboard mode for text, file, and image pasteboard operations
  5. MCP window/workspace mode for arranging macOS apps and windows

It also includes Swift utility scripts for active-display screenshots, clipboard file/image operations, and window/workspace management on macOS.

Mode A: AppleScript (macOS apps)

  • Always execute AppleScript through Bash with osascript.
  • Always run from workspace root as the working directory.
  • Quote script paths and arguments.
  • Prefer direct script invocation; do not route through Python wrappers unless explicitly requested.

Command templates:

osascript "skills/altic-studio/scripts/<script>.applescript" [arg1] [arg2] ...

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.
