manzanas: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/run-the-daemon/SKILL.md

run-the-daemon is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BariBariGood/manzanas. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,230 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for running manzanasd, a service that manages iOS Simulators on a Mac and exposes them to other tools. It covers starting, restarting, configuring, and installing the service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a real or mock simulator service, configure device pools and journals, install upgrades, inspect logs, and handle service failures.
Why use it?
It provides the setup and safety details needed to avoid conflicting simulator services and to diagnose refused or overloaded requests.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is BariBariGood/manzanas's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on manzanas itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything manzanas configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./bin/manzanasd --addr :7433 # on a Mac with Xcode.

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

run-the-daemon scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run the manzanasd daemon

One daemon per Mac, port :7433. Never run two daemons against the same CoreSimulator state; a second experimental daemon goes on 7434+ with --mock only.

Start

make build                                 # bin/manzanasd, bin/manzanas, bin/manzanas-broker
./bin/manzanasd --addr :7433                # on a Mac with Xcode
./bin/manzanasd --addr :7433 --mock         # anywhere (Linux/CI): mock fleet, no simctl
curl -s localhost:7433/v0/healthz          # {"ok":true,"version":"v0"}

Production installs use the LaunchAgent: deploy/install.sh --binary ../manzanasd (installs to ~/bin/manzanasd, RunAtLoad+KeepAlive, logs to ~/.manzanasd/logs/, log rotation). Upgrade = re-run install.sh with the new binary. Remove with deploy/uninstall.sh [--purge].

Flags that matter (each also has an MANZANASD_* env var)

Flag Default Meaning
--addr :7433 listen address
--mock off mock registry (no simctl; state/actions return 501)
--pool-sims empty comma-separated UDIDs kept in the park/thaw warm pool
--pool-slim-profile empty simslim profile applied to pool sims before parking (simslim v0.6.0+: batched launchctl transitions make the slim step much faster, esp. Intel; simslim verify gives exact drift checks; profiles needing in-app purchases keep store in their except array)
--pool-max-running 0 = class default (2 Intel / 4 Apple Silicon) cap on Booted un-parked sims; negative disables
--pool-load-factor 0 = 2.0 refuse boots when 1-min load > factor x cores; negative disables
--pool-min-free-disk-gb 0 = 5 refuse boots below this free disk; negative disables
--pool-footprint-cap-mb 0 = 3072 watchdog recycles a pool sim above this phys_footprint; negative disables
--simbridge ~/bin/simbridge or $PATH warm-actions helper binary
--no-warm off disable the warm actions backend
--warm-max-targets / --warm-idle-ttl 4 / 5m resident helper capacity / idle shutdown
--janitor-reap-stale-locks off let the janitor shut down (never delete) unmanaged Booted sims whose sim-<udid> fleet lock is stale (>=2h) or missing, after the staleness persists a full grace (>=10 min); recommended ON for fleet daemons
--lock-dir /tmp/manzanas_locks (env MANZANAS_LOCK_DIR) fleet lock directory holding sim-<udid> lock files; fleet machines set MANZANAS_LOCK_DIR=/tmp/manzanas_locks
--journal-dir ~/.manzanasd/journal empty string disables the journal
--journal-max-age / --journal-max-bytes 168h / 2 GiB journal GC bounds
--stream-max-streams / --stream-max-viewers / --stream-max-fps / --stream-linger see --help streaming limits

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.

run-the-daemon is a skill published in the GitHub repository BariBariGood/manzanas (20 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,230 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
