What it does

Mac Automation is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. This skill should be used when the user requests Mac automation via AppleScript, including: Mail operations, Reminders/Calendar management, Safari control, Finder operations, system controls (volume, brightness, notifications, app launching), third-party apps (development tools, task management, media players), or mentions "AppleScript" or "automate Mac".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `references/calendar-applescript.md`, `references/finder-applescript.md` and `references/mail-applescript.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Calendar and scheduling and Task management. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests Mac automation via AppleScript
  • Including: Mail operations
  • Reminders/Calendar management
  • Finder operations

Example prompts

  • “AppleScript”
  • “automate Mac”
  • “/mac-automation”

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (AppleScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • osascript

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Mac Automation loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 781 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 781 words (~1,891 tokens).

“This skill enables control of macOS applications and system functions through AppleScript execution via the osascript command.”
