install

install is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (558 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A macOS installation skill that builds the FloatingClock app from source, copies it to the Applications folder, and launches it. FloatingClock is a desktop app that displays a floating clock.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when FloatingClock needs to be built and installed in /Applications so it can be opened from normal macOS app launchers.
Why use it?
It turns the source project into an installed macOS application without requiring the user to perform each build and copy step manually.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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.

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

install 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 today.

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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisite — cc-plugin-root. This skill resolves its scripts with cc-plugin-root <plugin> (the CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT placeholder is not a shell variable and expands to empty). If the command is missing, run /itp:setup (its first step installs it), or link it directly:

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin && ln -sfn \
  ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/scripts/cc-plugin-root ~/.local/bin/cc-plugin-root

/floating-clock:install

Install the FloatingClock macOS app from this plugin's source to /Applications/ so it's available from Spotlight, Launchpad, and Finder.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If the build, copy, or launch step breaks (signing change, path drift, macOS gatekeeper update) — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Steps

  1. Resolve plugin root:

    PLUGIN_ROOT="$(cc-plugin-root floating-clock)"
    if [ ! -f "$PLUGIN_ROOT/Makefile" ]; then
      echo "ERROR: plugin root not found at $PLUGIN_ROOT" >&2
      exit 1
    fi
    
  2. Build, bundle, sign:

    cd "$PLUGIN_ROOT" && make all
    
  3. Copy to /Applications:

    cp -R "$PLUGIN_ROOT/build/FloatingClock.app" /Applications/
    
  4. Launch:

    open /Applications/FloatingClock.app
    
  5. Confirm:

    Installed to /Applications/FloatingClock.app and launched. The app is now discoverable via Spotlight (⌘Space → FloatingClock) and Launchpad. Right-click the clock for options.

Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

  1. Did make all produce the expected build/FloatingClock.app? — If not, fix the Makefile or the build prerequisite.
  2. Did the copy/launch step succeed silently? — If macOS prompted (gatekeeper, permission), document the bypass.
  3. Did paths drift? — Plugin root, Makefile target, or app bundle name change → update the script.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.

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.
