At a glance

Configure repeatable macOS productivity settings on a user's MacBook, especially voice typing / Dictation setup.

  • Works in 2 steps: Confirm the host is macOS → Run the bundled setup script
  • Codex is asked to set up
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Voice Typing Workflow, What The Script Does and Verification, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3

What it does

Setup Macbook Productivity is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Configure repeatable macOS productivity settings on a user's MacBook, especially voice typing / Dictation setup. Use when Codex is asked to set up, repair, or document MacBook productivity features such as voice typing, Dictation, Dictation shortcuts, microphone input for Dictation, or future local macOS workflow preferences.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `scripts/setup_voice_typing.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex is asked to set up
  • Document MacBook productivity features such as voice typing
  • Dictation shortcuts
  • Microphone input for Dictation

Example prompts

  • “/setup-macbook-productivity”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the host is macOS
  2. Run the bundled setup script

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Setup Macbook Productivity loads about 711 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 288 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~711

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 288 words (~711 tokens).

“Use this skill to configure local macOS productivity preferences with a bias toward repeatable setup, verification, and opening the relevant System Settings pane when macOS requires a user confirmation.”
