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 | $0.00224 | $0.02225 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00112 | $0.01112 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00045 | $0.00445 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00222 |
Grade A, and why
macos-intune-baseline 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 — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
macOS Hardening with Microsoft Intune
Mac fleets in Microsoft-shop enterprises are usually under-governed compared to Windows. Intune-managed macOS with the right configuration profiles, FileVault escrow, Defender for Endpoint, and Platform SSO with Entra ID closes most of the gap and gives you a Conditional Access compliance signal that actually means something.
When to use
Designing or hardening macOS endpoint management in an Intune + Entra ID environment (workforce devices, BYOD via user-enrollment is a separate model).
Do not use this skill for end-to-end Intune (intune-device-mgmt), MDE policy
authoring (defender-for-endpoint), or iOS / iPadOS management.
Capability map
| Layer | Tool / Profile |
|---|---|
| Provisioning | Apple Business Manager + Intune Automated Device Enrollment |
| Identity / SSO | Platform SSO (Entra ID), Enterprise SSO plug-in |
| Disk encryption | FileVault enabled + escrow recovery key to Intune |
| App control | Gatekeeper, XProtect (Apple-managed), notarized apps allowlist via system extensions |
| Endpoint protection | Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on macOS |
| Configuration | Settings catalog profiles (preferred), legacy templates where required |
| Privacy / kernel | Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC), System Extensions, Notification Center policy |
| Updates | Managed Software Updates / Declarative Device Management (DDM) |
| Compliance | Intune compliance policy → Conditional Access |
Approach
-
Enroll via ABM + Automated Device Enrollment. Manual enrollment is fine for pilots; production needs ABM so devices arrive supervised, can't be unenrolled by the user, and pick up policy at first boot.
-
Platform SSO (PSSO) with Entra ID is the modern macOS SSO. User signs into the Mac with their Entra credentials (password, smart card, or passkey-style secure enclave). Replaces the older Enterprise SSO plug-in for sign-in scenarios. Requires deployment of the Microsoft Enterprise SSO plug-in package + a PSSO configuration profile.
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-intune-baseline is a skill published in the GitHub repository vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills (173 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 224 tokens to every session and 2,225 once invoked, about $0.0011 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.
