happy-app-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from iamzhihuix/happy-claude-skills. It costs 152 tokens per session (3,677 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A static checker for macOS applications that examines an app bundle to find telemetry, reporting software, upload destinations, saved queues, and privacy-related data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a macOS app's analytics and error-reporting behavior from its files, while producing a privacy-scrubbed report.
Why use it?
It shows what an installed app may send, where it sends it, and what reporting data it leaves on the computer without capturing network traffic.

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

happy-app-audit 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (lib/card.ts, lib/shell.ts, scripts/classify_strings.ts, …), 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.

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

- **Read only.** No `curl/wget/nc/dig` against discovered endpoints. No `lldb attach`, `dtrace`, `fs_usage`, `tcpdump`, `mitmproxy`, `frida`. No Keychain reads. No DRM bypass. No memory dump.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 285 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Happy App Audit

Static-only macOS app telemetry auditor. Produces a markdown report describing what an installed .app bundle reports, to whom, how often (inferred), and what it leaves on disk.

When to invoke

Invoke when the user says any of: "审计 / 调查 / 看看 / 拆 / 逆向 / 上报 / 埋点 / 隐私 / 抓 SDK" combined with a .app path or app name. Also invoke when given paths under /Applications, ~/Applications, /Library/Input Methods, or /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools.

Do NOT invoke for: source-code repos, web sites, mobile (iOS/Android) packages — this skill is macOS-bundle specific.

Hard rules (non-negotiable)

  • Read only. No curl/wget/nc/dig against discovered endpoints. No lldb attach, dtrace, fs_usage, tcpdump, mitmproxy, frida. No Keychain reads. No DRM bypass. No memory dump.
  • Allowed commands only. See references/safe_commands.md. If a step seems to need something outside the whitelist, stop and tell the user instead of improvising.
  • Privacy by default. In every output file, scrub device_id, uid, session_id, email, IDFV, IDFA, JWT, and any 16+ hex blob to <redacted:N> (keep length, drop content).
  • Scope cap. Refuse a single invocation that targets more than 5 apps. Refuse paths under /System/, /usr/libexec/, /private/var/db/com.apple.*. Those are OS components, not third-party telemetry targets.

Runtime

{baseDir} = directory of this SKILL.md.

All scripts are bun + TypeScript. Resolve runtime as: prefer bun in PATH, otherwise npx -y bun. If neither exists, abort with a one-line install hint.

# Smoke check
bun --version  ||  npx --version  ||  echo "Need bun (recommended) or npx"

Workflow — 6 phases, in order

Each phase has: Goal → Inputs → Commands → Output → Stop conditions. Do not skip ahead. Do not interleave.

Phase 0 — Scope confirm

Goal. Lock the target list to ≤5 valid .app paths.

Inputs. Whatever the user said — could be a path, a name, or "the input methods I have installed."

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.
