A build-and-install procedure for rebuilding the ppxai command-line tools, desktop and server programs, VS Code extension, and macOS packages when applicable.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It checks that the complete product can be rebuilt and installed like a user-side release, including required dependencies for office-file support.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is rcconsult/ppxai's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ppxai 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 ppxai configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/create-macos-app.sh.

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 C, and why

build-install scanned grade C with 2 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 6d 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 593 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

build-install

End-to-end local install of ppxai. Build all binaries + VSCode extension (+ macOS-only .app and DMG), then install everything to system locations exactly as a user-side install would. Useful for testing a branch before release, or for verifying a release artifact after CI uploads it.

Preconditions

All platforms

  • Working tree at the version you want to ship — version files already bumped (see tests/test_version_consistency.py for the SoT list).
  • uv resolvable per CLAUDE.md "uv Resolution" (system or .uv/uv).
  • Build venv MUST have the [data] extras. The office-preview pipeline needs pypdfium2 (PDF→PNG) + python-pptx/openpyxl, which live in the [data] optional extra. Step 1 runs uv sync --all-extras to guarantee it. Without it the binaries build fine but ship WITHOUT office support — LibreOffice is detected yet render_pptx_slides returns [] → "No slides rendered" (caught live 2026-06-14). Matches the CI build (.github/workflows/build.yml) and the release-script test step, both of which use --all-extras.
  • node + npm for the VSCode extension build.
  • A POSIX-ish shell. Bash works on all four platforms (macOS native, Linux native, Windows via Git Bash). PowerShell alternatives are noted where they meaningfully simplify Windows-only flows.

Platform-specific

  • macOS Apple Silicon — host is arm64. uname -m prints arm64. create-macos-app.sh writes ppxai-X.Y.Z-macos-arm64.dmg.
  • macOS Intel — host is x86_64. uname -m prints x86_64. create-macos-app.sh writes ppxai-X.Y.Z-macos-intel.dmg. The alternate scripts/build-intel.sh orchestrates the same flow with upload-to-release support.
  • Linux — linux-amd64 is the only platform built today. Binaries install to ~/.local/bin/ (must be on $PATH).
  • Windows — PyInstaller produces .exe suffixes automatically. Binaries install to ~/.ppxai/bin/ (NOT ~/.local/bin/; see CLAUDE.md "Installation Locations"). ~/.ppxai/bin/ must be on $env:PATH. Easiest run-shell is Git Bash (matches steps below); PowerShell variants noted where useful.

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.
