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 | $0.00072 | $0.00673 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00336 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00135 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00067 |
Grade A, and why
apple-platform-automation 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Apple Platform Automation
Use this umbrella for Apple/macOS personal-productivity and device tasks. Prefer native or purpose-built CLIs first; fall back to AppleScript/GUI automation only when no CLI exists.
Prerequisite checks
- Confirm the task is running on macOS before promising Apple app access.
- Check the specific CLI exists (
memo,remindctl,imsg) before using it. - For GUI workflows, prefer Peekaboo or screenshot-assisted automation and verify the visible state before acting.
- For outbound messages or destructive edits, confirm the recipient/item and exact action with the user.
Apple Notes (memo)
Use for creating, searching, viewing, moving, exporting, editing, or deleting Apple Notes. Typical flow:
memo list
memo search "query"
memo create --title "Title" --body "Body"
memo edit <note-id>
Rules: do not use Apple Notes as the default knowledge base if the user asked for Obsidian/Notion/Google Docs; verify note IDs before edits or deletes.
Apple Reminders (remindctl)
Use for listing reminder lists, adding dated reminders, completing items, or deleting stale tasks.
remindctl lists
remindctl list --list "Inbox"
remindctl add "Task text" --due "tomorrow 9am" --list "Inbox"
remindctl complete <reminder-id>
Natural due dates are usually accepted, but verify parsed dates when timing matters.
Find My / AirTags / Apple devices
Use FindMy.app when the user asks for Apple device or AirTag locations. There is no reliable universal CLI; use one of:
- AppleScript to open Find My and switch tabs.
- Peekaboo/screenshot capture to inspect device or item location.
- Repeated captures for tracking over time while the item detail remains open.
Limitations: location may be stale, approximate, hidden behind privacy prompts, or unavailable until the app has focus. Report uncertainty explicitly.
iMessage / SMS (imsg)
Use for listing chats, reading history, sending text or attachments, and watching for new messages.
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.

apple-platform-automation is a skill published in the GitHub repository S3YED/appie-kit (7 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 673 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
