What it does

Yichen Mac Wechat Dual Open is an agent skill from mcncarl/yichen-skills. Create, inspect, repair, and polish a second WeChat app on macOS by copying WeChat, changing the bundle identifier, ad-hoc re-signing, preparing it for the user to open manually, setting Chinese language preferences, and recoloring only the copied app icon from WeChat green to blue. Use when the user asks whether Mac WeChat dual-open methods from X/Twitter or scripts are reliable, asks to prepare a second WeChat app, fix WeChat-2 language/icon/cache issues, or make the copied app visually distinct without…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/reliability-and-risks.md`, `scripts/wechat_dual_open.py` and `tests/test_no_wechat_control.py`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. It works with WeChat, macOS and X (Twitter).

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks whether Mac WeChat dual-open methods from X/Twitter
  • Scripts are reliable
  • Asks to prepare a second WeChat app
  • Fix WeChat-2 language/icon/cache issues

Example prompts

  • “/yichen-mac-wechat-dual-open”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Copy /Applications/WeChat.app to a user-owned app such as ~/Applications/WeChat-2.app.
  2. Change only the copy's CFBundleIdentifier, usually to com.tencent.xin2.
  3. Re-sign the copy with codesign --force --deep --sign -.
  4. Stop and have the user open the prepared copy manually. The agent never launches WeChat.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bd7898. 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
    • pip3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip3, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Yichen Mac Wechat Dual Open loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 153 tokens; SKILL.md has 595 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~153
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 595 words (~1,456 tokens).

“Prefer the copy + bundle id + ad-hoc signing method over injection/tweak tools when the user wants a cleaner second WeChat:”
