mac-design-explore

mac-design-explore is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SerenecoTech/agent-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (3,471 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for exploring and refining native macOS interfaces made with SwiftUI or AppKit, Apple's frameworks for building Mac applications. It compares runnable interface alternatives, makes focused visual changes, or checks whether the project is ready for that work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare interface approaches, visually refine a specified view, remix a chosen design, or check the project's design-workflow readiness.
Why use it?
It supports design decisions based on inspected results rather than opinions alone. Its setup-check mode reports what is available without changing, building, or launching the project.

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

mac-design-explore 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 12d 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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Native macOS design exploration

Help the user choose an interface by comparing real native implementations against the same task. Build, inspect, choose, and remix. Treat tool results and captured output as evidence; treat design judgments as hypotheses until tested.

Entry point

Select from the request without a mode-selection question:

  • Explore: compare different approaches to the same task, then await the user's choice unless autonomous selection was authorized.
  • Refine: capture a baseline of a specified view or chosen direction, define the visible outcome, and make a scoped correction. Work in a temporary copy unless the user authorized a product fix. Preserve its structure except for changes explicitly requested in a remix or redesign.
  • Check setup: inspect the project and available capabilities read-only. Use section 2's discovery guidance and relevant tool references, but skip its build/launch/capture proof and all other execution steps. Report available, unavailable, and unverified capabilities, what each limitation prevents, and the next useful step. Stop without creating files, building, launching, installing, or changing configuration.

Implementing an already agreed feature or fixing an unrelated functional bug belongs to ordinary development. When an ambiguous request fits that work better, leave this workflow out. A request to fix the actual app authorizes that scoped product edit; no special word such as "apply" is required, and existing authorization persists. A request to explore, show a prototype, or choose a favorite does not authorize production integration. If refinement's destination is genuinely unclear, proceed in a temporary copy and show it; clarify only before integrating.

Isolation, retention, and recovery

For explore/refine, inspect project instructions, build configuration, and existing edits first. Create a unique OS temporary workspace and announce its absolute path. Put prototypes, fixtures, build output, logs, images, and a compact run-notes.md there. This file is an evidence index and recovery aid, not a project planning system. Keep project-level workflow/state files out of the repository.

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.
