What it does

Fix Codesign Error is an agent skill from robinebers/openusage. Slash command that inspects a macOS signing or entitlement failure and explains the minimum fix path. Invoke explicitly with /fix-codesign-error — this skill never self-triggers.

Its SKILL.md is about 280 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 Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Burning through your subscriptions too fast? Paying for stuff you never use? Stop guessing. OpenUsage is free and open source. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins

Example prompts

  • “/fix-codesign-error”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect the app bundle, executable, signing info, and entitlements.
  2. Determine whether the problem is identity, provisioning, hardened runtime, sandboxing, or trust policy.
  3. Summarize the exact failure class in plain language.
  4. Provide the minimal repair sequence or validation command.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cb21465. 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.

    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

Fix Codesign Error loads about 280 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 113 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~280

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.

Fix Codesign Error

Inspect a macOS signing or entitlement failure and explain the minimum fix path.

Arguments

  • app: path to .app bundle or binary (optional)
  • identity: signing identity hint (optional)
  • mode: inspect or repair-plan (optional, default: inspect)

Workflow

  1. Inspect the app bundle, executable, signing info, and entitlements.
  2. Determine whether the problem is identity, provisioning, hardened runtime, sandboxing, or trust policy.
  3. Summarize the exact failure class in plain language.
  4. Provide the minimal repair sequence or validation command.

Guardrails

  • Never invent entitlements; read them from the binary or source files.
  • Distinguish local development signing problems from distribution or notarization failures.
  • Prefer verifiable commands like codesign -d, spctl, and plutil over guesswork.
