Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned petekp/agent-skills at 0f90f074fd.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

macOS App Design

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate code and design assets specifically tailored for building native macOS applications. It streamlines the development workflow by providing context-aware solutions for Apple's ecosystem, ensuring apps adhere to platform-specific conventions and aesthetics.

When to use it

  • You need to scaffold a new SwiftUI or AppKit project from scratch.
  • You require specific UI components that strictly follow Human Interface Guidelines.
  • You are debugging layout issues unique to macOS window management.
  • You want to automate the creation of standard macOS menu bars and dock integrations.

Key capabilities

  • Generates native Swift code for macOS frameworks.
  • Designs interfaces compliant with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
  • Creates assets optimized for Retina displays and high-DPI screens.
  • Structures projects using modern Xcode project configurations.

Example prompts

  • "Create a SwiftUI view for a settings panel with dark mode support."
  • "Generate the code structure for a macOS app that integrates with the system menu bar."
  • "Design a responsive dashboard layout using AppKit for a data visualization tool."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to the latest Xcode documentation, as macOS design patterns evolve frequently. While this skill focuses on native capabilities, avoid requesting web-specific features like browser tabs unless explicitly supported by the underlying framework being used.
