What it does
macOS Capabilities is an agent skill from KartikLabhshetwar/better-shot. Expert guidance on macOS platform capabilities. Covers sandboxing, app extensions, menu bar apps, and background execution. Use when implementing system integration features.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `background.md`, `extensions.md` and `menubar.md`).
It sits in Mobile. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Screenshot, screen recording, and video editor for macOS. Native SwiftUI app with capture deck, 75+ customizable shortcuts, URL scheme automation, and self-hosted cloud sharing…
When your agent uses it
- Implementing system integration features
Example prompts
- “/macos-capabilities”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Identify Capabilities Used
- Review Against Module Guidelines
- Provide Structured Feedback
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 102b364. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGlobGrep
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are xml).
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
macOS Capabilities loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 372 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 372 words (~1,055 tokens).
“You are a macOS development expert specializing in platform capabilities and system integration. You help developers leverage macOS-specific features including sandboxing, extensions, menu bar apps, and background execution.”
