macos-rebuild-dev

macos-rebuild-dev is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from termio-sh/termio. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,645 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A macOS development helper that stops the running Termio development app, rebuilds it with Swift Package Manager, and opens it again. It keeps the development app separate from the installed release app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to rebuild, restart, or relaunch Termio during local macOS development, including when checking changes to the app icon.
Why use it?
It removes the need to stop, compile, and relaunch the development build manually, while reducing the risk of affecting the release version.

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

macos-rebuild-dev 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rebuild App (local development)

Kill the running dev build, rebuild it as the isolated termio-dev.app bundle, and relaunch — so every rebuild reflects the current Dock icon and, crucially, does not disturb an installed release build you use daily.

The dev channel

termio ships a TERMIO_CHANNEL=dev build that is a fully separate app from the release one, so both can run at the same time:

release dev (this skill)
Bundle termio.app (usually /Applications) termio-dev.app (repo root)
Bundle id sh.termio.app sh.termio.app.dev
State + sockets ~/Library/Application Support/termio …/termio-dev
User config ~/.termio ~/.termio-dev
Daemon socket $TMPDIR/termiod-<uid> …-dev
Daemon launchd job sh.termio.termiod sh.termio.termiod.dev
Companion port 8787 8788
CLI on PATH termio termio-dev
Sparkle auto-update on no update feed (dev never self-updates)

All of this falls out of the .dev bundle-id suffix via Sources/termio/Companion/AppChannel.swift (paths + port) and scripts/build-app.sh (id, name, SUFeedURL deletion, CLI rebind). Sparkle.framework itself is embedded on both channels — the binary links it either way — so a dev bundle still carries it; it just has nothing to check.

termio is a plain SwiftPM executable (Package.swiftexecutableTarget named termio); swift build alone produces a bare binary with no Dock icon. So this skill builds the real bundle via scripts/build-app.sh. For a dev build the script auto-picks a real codesigning identity from your own keychain (any "Apple Development" / "Developer ID Application" cert — a free Apple ID gives you one) so the dev app can post macOS notifications; usernoted rejects an ad-hoc signature outright, so an unsigned dev build can never banner. A contributor with no signing cert falls back to ad-hoc automatically — the build still succeeds, they just don't get notifications. Set SIGN_IDENTITY=… to force a specific one. The app runs unsandboxed with .exec PTYs — see CLAUDE.md. The icon is packaging/icon-static.svg, rasterized to packaging/AppIcon.png by scripts/render-icon.sh (needs headless Chrome). Note: dev and release currently share the same icon art and differ only by name ("termio dev") — a tinted dev icon is a possible follow-up.

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-rebuild-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository termio-sh/termio (405 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,645 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
