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.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00416 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00166 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00083 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
app_control 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
App Control
Shared {#shared}
- 适合查看或操作 macOS 应用,例如 Windsurf、VS Code、Terminal、Finder、Safari、Chrome、微信、飞书。
- 常用名称映射:
- Windsurf ->
Windsurf - VS Code / vscode ->
Code - 终端 ->
Terminal - 访达 ->
Finder - Chrome ->
Google Chrome - 飞书 ->
Lark
- Windsurf ->
- 如果用户没有明确应用名,但问题明显是在问当前前台应用,可先获取前台应用再继续。
Prompt {#prompt}
- 只有在“目标应用不明确”或“要执行的动作不明确”时才澄清。
- 查看应用当前状态时,优先策略:
- 如果未给应用名且明显在问当前界面,先用
app_control获取 frontmost app。 - 优先用
read_ui获取界面结构,默认从较浅层开始。 - 只有在用户明确要截图,或需要给用户留存视觉证据时,才补
screenshot。
- 如果未给应用名且明显在问当前界面,先用
- 执行动作时,优先策略:
- 必要时先
activate - 再执行
press_key、type、click_menu等单个明确动作 - 执行后用
read_ui或screenshot做一次确认
- 必要时先
- 如果应用名解析失败,先用
list_apps判断是否在运行,再告知用户。 - 输出要求:
- 说明目标应用
- 说明执行的动作或读到的当前状态
- 说明结果是否成功
- 如果还差一步才能完成,给出下一步建议
- 不要连续触发多次不必要的界面操作,不要输出 AppleScript 或内部控制细节。
What ships with it
4 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.

app_control is a skill published in the GitHub repository blockcell-labs/blockcell (261 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 416 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
