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

macos-spm-app-packaging 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (assets/templates/build_icon.sh, assets/templates/compile_and_run.sh, assets/templates/launch.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

macOS SwiftPM App Packaging (No Xcode)

Overview

Bootstrap a complete SwiftPM macOS app folder, then build, package, and run it without Xcode. Use assets/templates/bootstrap/ for the starter layout and references/packaging.md + references/release.md for packaging and release details.

Two-Step Workflow

  1. Bootstrap the project folder

    • Copy assets/templates/bootstrap/ into a new repo.
    • Rename MyApp in Package.swift, Sources/MyApp/, and version.env.
    • Customize APP_NAME, BUNDLE_ID, and versions.

  2. Build, package, and run the bootstrapped app

    • Copy scripts from assets/templates/ into your repo (for example, Scripts/).
    • Build/tests: swift build and swift test.
    • Package: Scripts/package_app.sh.
    • Run: Scripts/compile_and_run.sh (preferred) or Scripts/launch.sh.
    • Release (optional): Scripts/sign-and-notarize.sh and Scripts/make_appcast.sh.
    • Tag + GitHub release (optional): create a git tag, upload the zip/appcast to the GitHub release, and publish.

Templates

  • assets/templates/package_app.sh: Build binaries, create the .app bundle, copy resources, sign.
  • assets/templates/compile_and_run.sh: Dev loop to kill running app, package, launch.
  • assets/templates/build_icon.sh: Generate .icns from an Icon Composer file (requires Xcode install).
  • assets/templates/sign-and-notarize.sh: Notarize, staple, and zip a release build.
  • assets/templates/make_appcast.sh: Generate Sparkle appcast entries for updates.
  • assets/templates/setup_dev_signing.sh: Create a stable dev code-signing identity.
  • assets/templates/launch.sh: Simple launcher for a packaged .app.
  • assets/templates/version.env: Example version file consumed by packaging scripts.
  • assets/templates/bootstrap/: Minimal SwiftPM macOS app skeleton (Package.swift, Sources/, version.env).

Notes

  • Keep entitlements and signing configuration explicit; edit the template scripts instead of reimplementing.
  • Remove Sparkle steps if you do not use Sparkle for updates.
  • Sparkle relies on the bundle build number (CFBundleVersion), so BUILD_NUMBER in version.env must increase for each update.
  • For menu bar apps, set MENU_BAR_APP=1 when packaging to emit LSUIElement in Info.plist.

Files

What ships with it

15 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.

Changes

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.
