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 | $0.00035 | $0.01205 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00602 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00241 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00120 |
Grade A, and why
macos-view-refactor 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 4d 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.

View Refactor
Overview
Refactor macOS views toward small, explicit, stable scene and view types. Default to native SwiftUI for layout, selection, commands, and settings. Reach for AppKit only at the narrow edges where desktop behavior truly requires it.
Core Guidelines
1) Model scenes explicitly
- Break the app into meaningful scene roots: main window, settings, utility windows, inspectors, or menu bar extras.
- Do not let one giant root view silently own every desktop surface.
2) Keep a predictable file shape
- Follow this ordering unless the file already has a stronger local convention:
- Environment
private/publiclet@State/ other stored properties- computed
var(non-view) initbody- computed view builders / other view helpers
- helper / async functions
2b) Split files by responsibility
- For non-trivial apps, do not keep the full app, all views, models, stores, networking clients, process clients, and helpers in one Swift file.
- Accept a single Swift file only for tiny throwaway examples or snippets: roughly under 50 lines, one screen, no persistence, no networking/process client, and no reusable models.
- Use
App/<AppName>App.swiftfor the@mainapp andAppDelegateonly. - Keep
Views/ContentView.swiftfocused on root layout and composition; move feature UI into files such asViews/SidebarView.swift,Views/DetailView.swift, andViews/ComposerView.swift. - Move value types and selection enums into
Models/*.swift, stores intoStores/*.swift, app-server/network/process clients intoServices/*.swift, and small formatters/resolvers/extensions intoSupport/*.swift. - Keep files small and named after the primary type they contain.
3) Prefer dedicated subview types over many computed some View fragments
- Extract meaningful desktop sections like sidebar rows, detail panels, inspectors, or toolbar content into focused subviews.
- Keep computed
some Viewhelpers small and rare. - Pass explicit data, bindings, and actions into subviews instead of handing down the whole scene model.
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-view-refactor is a skill published in the GitHub repository robinebers/openusage (3,975 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,205 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
