Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00996 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00498 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00199 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00100 |
Grade A, and why
automating-keynote 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 7d 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.

Relationship to the macOS automation skill
- This skill focuses on Keynote-specific automation (documents, slides, charts).
- Use
automating-mac-appsfor cross-app workflows or general macOS scripting foundations. - Assumes Apple Events knowledge from the related skill.
- PyXA Installation: To use PyXA examples in this skill, see the installation instructions in
automating-mac-appsskill (PyXA Installation section).
Core Framing
- JXA (JavaScript for Automation) enables macOS app scripting with JavaScript syntax.
- AppleScript dictionaries define Keynote's object model—discover via Script Editor.
- JXA objects are specifiers: read with methods like
.name(), write with assignments. - Production scripts use JXA for reliability; AppleScript for prototyping.
- Important: The JXA
Path()function is required when specifying file paths to Keynote (e.g., for images, exports, or opening documents). UsePath("/path/to/file")instead of plain strings.
Workflow (default)
- Discover terms in Script Editor > File > Open Dictionary > Keynote.
- Prototype minimal AppleScript:
tell application "Keynote" to get name of document 1. - Port to JXA:
Application("Keynote").documents[0].name()with try-catch blocks. - Validate with read-only probes:
Application("Keynote").documents.length > 0. - Use UI scripting only when dictionary lacks features (e.g.
Application("System Events")).
Quick Examples
Prototype (AppleScript):
tell application "Keynote"
get name of document 1
end tell
Production (JXA):
const keynote = Application("Keynote");
if (keynote.documents.length > 0) {
console.log(keynote.documents[0].name());
}

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.

automating-keynote is a skill published in the GitHub repository SpillwaveSolutions/automating-mac-apps-plugin (40 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 996 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 2026-08-30.
