What is altic-studio?

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.

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.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00023	$0.03439
Opus 5.5	$0.00009	$0.01376
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00688

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 1mo 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:

AppleScript mode for macOS apps and system actions
MCP CDP mode for Google Chrome browser control
MCP file mode for safe Finder and filesystem operations
MCP clipboard mode for text, file, and image pasteboard operations
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] ...

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.

slack

Interact with Slack workspaces using browser automation. Use when the user needs to check unread channels, navigate Slack, send messages, extract data, find information, search conversations, or automate any Slack task. Triggers include "check my Slack", "what channels have unreads", "send a message to", "search Slack…

cli-anything-macrocli

Use when the agent wants to define, list, inspect, or execute GUI macros via the MacroCLI CLI. Macros are parameterized, CLI-callable workflows — the agent invokes macro run and the system handles backend routing (plugin, file transform, accessibility, compiled GUI replay).

Use the agent-browser CLI to exercise web interfaces, inspect rendered accessibility state, verify interactions, and capture screenshots. Use for browser-based UI testing and evidence collection.
