Install targets
Codex install prompt
Install the "axiom-macos" agent skill from https://github.com/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom/tree/main/.claude-plugin/plugins/axiom/skills/axiom-macos. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Use when building ANY macOS app — windows, menus, sandboxing, distribution, AppKit bridging or modernization (control events, state restoration, concentric corners), or macOS-specific SwiftUI patterns. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"charleswiltgen-axiom-macos","task":"Install axiom-macos","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes.Supply asset profile

Always use this skill when the user asks for 单色海报、双色印刷、单色调视觉、蓝色/绿色孔版印刷、risograph、网点照片、复古或当代编辑排版、zine poster, monochrome editorial poster, duotone print, or asks to use the mono-color style. It uses an adaptive white, gray, or pale-beige substrate, no more than two printing inks, active negative space, terse human language, and strong serif/grotesk/mono typography without making retro styling the default or copying a source composition, wording, logo, or artwork.

# macOS Development
**You MUST use this skill for ANY macOS-specific development including windows, menus, sandboxing, distribution, AppKit bridging, and macOS SwiftUI differences.**
## Quick Reference
| Symptom / Task | Reference | |----------------|-----------| | Window management (WindowGroup, Window, MenuBarExtra, DocumentGroup) | See `skills/windows.md` | | Menu bar, commands, keyboard shortcuts | See `skills/menus-and-commands.md` | | Table, Inspector, NavigationSplitView, focus | See `skills/swiftui-differences.md` | | App Sandbox, file access, security-scoped bookmarks | See `skills/sandbox-and-file-access.md` | | Developer ID, notarization, Sparkle auto-updates | See `skills/direct-distribution.md` | | NSViewRepresentable, NSHostingController, AppKit bridging, @Observable in AppKit, NSHostingMenu, SwiftUI scenes from AppKit | See `skills/appkit-interop.md` | | Modernizing AppKit: mouseDown replacement, control events, status-item sessions, state restoration, concentric corners, touch (`OS27`) | See `skills/appkit-modernization.md` | | Screen recording, sharing, or capture (ScreenCaptureKit) | See `skills/screencapturekit.md` | | SCStream / SCContentFilter / screenshots / file recording API | See `skills/screencapturekit-ref.md` | | Bring an iOS app to Mac: Catalyst adoption, Designed for iPad, Mac availability opt-out | See `skills/ios-apps-on-mac.md` | | Apple Pay on Mac / Catalyst | See `axiom-payments/skills/apple-pay.md` (Catalyst section) |
## Cross-Suite Routes
These topics overlap with macOS development but live in separate suites:
#### SwiftUI (shared iOS/macOS) - View state, data flow, @Observable → See axiom-swiftui - Navigation (NavigationStack basics) → See axiom-swiftui (skills/nav.md) - Layout (ViewThatFits, AnyLayout) → See axiom-swiftui (skills/layout.md) - Animations → See axiom-swiftui (skills/animation-ref.md)
#### Data & persistence - SwiftData, Core Data, GRDB → See axiom-data - CloudKit sync → See axiom-data
#### Concurrency - Swift 6 concurrency, actors, Sendable → See axiom-concurrency
#### Other - Accessibility (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type) → See axiom-accessibility - Networking (URLSession, Network.framework) → See axiom-networking - Security (Keychain, passkeys, encryption) → See axiom-security
## Conflict Resolution
**axiom-macos vs axiom-swiftui**: When working on a macOS SwiftUI app: 1. **Use axiom-macos** for macOS-only concerns: windows, menus, commands, sandboxing, distribution, Table, Inspector, AppKit bridging 2. **Use axiom-swiftui** for cross-platform SwiftUI: navigation, layout, state management, animations 3. **Both may apply**: A macOS app using NavigationSplitView with Table needs axiom-macos for Table specifics and axiom-swiftui for NavigationSplitView basics
**axiom-macos vs axiom-security**: For sandbox and code signing: 1. **Use axiom-macos** for macOS App Sandbox, security-scoped bookmarks, file access entitlements, Developer ID signing 2. **Use axiom-security** for Keychain storage, encryption, passkeys, certificate management
## Decision Tree
```dot digraph macos { start [label="macOS development task" shape=ellipse]; what [label="What area?" shape=diamond];

> **iOS screen capture?** ScreenCaptureKit is macOS-only. For iOS screen recording, use ReplayKit — see axiom-media.
