What it does
Helper Visibility is an agent skill from pdparchitect/noodle. Dock and app-switcher policy for Noodle helpers. Use when creating or changing a helper app bundle, XPC or background executable, standalone development or test fixture, an Info.plist with LSUIElement or LSBackgroundOnly, or any NSApplication activation policy.
Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test data and fixtures. It works with macOS. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Changing a helper app bundle
- Background executable
- Standalone development
- An Info.plist with LSUIElement
Example prompts
- “/helper-visibility”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 530fd54. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
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
Helper Visibility loads about 267 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 97 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
The full file from pdparchitect/noodle at commit 530fd54, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© pdparchitect). 97 words, ~267 tokens.

- helper-visibility
- description
- Dock and app-switcher policy for Noodle helpers. Use when creating or changing a helper app bundle, XPC or background executable, standalone development or test fixture, an Info.plist with LSUIElement or LSBackgroundOnly, or any NSApplication activation policy.
Helper visibility
Helpers and standalone development/test fixtures must stay out of the Dock and app switcher by default.
- Set
LSUIElementfor helper app bundles. - Use AppKit's
.accessoryactivation policy when they need windows. - Use
LSBackgroundOnlyfor background-only executable metadata. - Do not promote helpers to
.regular.
The main Noodle, Noodle Computer, and Noodle Applet apps retain their Dock entries.
Verify
Check a running app without screenshots:
lsappinfo list | grep -A4 '"<App Name>" ASN'type="UIElement" is hidden; type="Foreground" is in the Dock. Launch Services
resets a non-LSUIElement app to .regular on every open, reopen or URL request,
so check again after triggering one with open -g.
