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.

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 | $0.00053 | $0.00816 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00326 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00163 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
macos-distribution-workflow 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.

macOS Distribution Workflow
Purpose
Treat a signed exported artifact as the source of truth for macOS distribution diagnosis. This workflow distinguishes project/account provisioning from artifact trust: inspect the bundle, classify the failure, and use the minimum verifiable repair or release-validation path.
When To Use
- Use for
.app,.pkg, or disk-image distribution artifacts; signing state; entitlements; hardened runtime; nested signatures; Gatekeeper; notarization; stapling; and direct-distribution failures. - Do not use for ordinary Debug builds, account-side certificate/profile creation, or project signing-setting edits without an artifact diagnosis.
Single-Path Workflow
- Apply the Apple docs gate through
explore-apple-swift-docs. Confirm the distribution channel and current signing/notarization requirement before acting. - Identify the exact artifact, distribution channel, main executable, nested frameworks/helpers/extensions, signing identity, and observed user-visible failure.
- Read
references/artifact-inspection-and-classification.mdand inspect bundle structure, signature details, entitlements, nested code, and Gatekeeper assessment before prescribing a fix. - Classify the problem: unsigned/ad hoc signing, wrong identity, entitlement mismatch, hardened-runtime issue, nested-code ordering issue, sandbox issue, Gatekeeper assessment, or notarization/stapling readiness.
- Keep account-side provisioning with
apple-developer-provisioning-workflow; keep project signing or entitlement edits withxcode-build-run-workflow. Do not hand-edit/re-sign a built artifact as a first response to a project configuration problem. - For direct distribution, validate the outermost deliverable, notarization result, and stapling state appropriate to the chosen package shape. Keep local-debug validity distinct from distribution readiness.
- Report the inspected artifact, evidence, failure class, smallest repair path, and the validation that remains after repair.
What ships with it
3 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.

macos-distribution-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaelic-ghost/socket (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 816 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.

cloud-administration
Administers the cloud the company runs on rather than the one it sells — tenant and subscription structure, the SaaS estate and who owns each app, identity as the real perimeter, cloud spend that arrives as a surprise, and what the provider does not do for you. Use this to structure subscriptions or tenants, get…
network-administration
Designs and operates the corporate network — segmentation, remote access, wireless, DNS and addressing, and diagnosing network problems. Use this to segment a network, set up or fix remote access, diagnose intermittent connectivity, plan addressing or DNS, or assess whether the network's trust assumptions still hold.
telephony-and-conferencing
Runs voice and meeting infrastructure — phone systems and numbers, emergency calling obligations, conference rooms and their AV, call recording and its retention consequences, and the porting that makes provider changes go badly. Use this to replace a phone system, fix rooms nobody can start a meeting in, meet…
virtualization-operations
Runs the hypervisor layer beneath the servers — host capacity and consolidation ratios, VM sprawl, snapshot discipline, resilience and live migration, and licensing that counts cores rather than instances. Use this to size or expand a cluster, work out why VMs are slow when the hosts look idle, clean up sprawl, set…
business-continuity-and-resilience
Plans for operating through disruption — impact analysis, recovery objectives, continuity plans, and the exercises that prove they work. Use this to run a business impact analysis, set RTO and RPO, write or test a continuity plan, prepare for a supplier or site failure, or answer a customer's resilience questionnaire.
cloud-infrastructure
Designs and runs cloud infrastructure — environments, infrastructure as code, networking and isolation, scaling, and cost. Use this to design a cloud environment, control infrastructure spend, set up environment separation, plan for scale or region failure, or review infrastructure someone configured by hand.
