macOS app release: Sparkle, notarization, GitHub Release, Homebrew, closeout.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Mac App Release Use for BlackBar, RepoBar, CodexBar, Trimmy, and similar Sparkle-updated macOS apps. ## Rules - Work from the app repo. - Read `.mac-release.env`; it is the repo-owned release manifest. - Use `scripts/mac-release` from this skill for shared release/appcast/verify work. - Execute `mac-release` directly so its privileged Bash shebang ignores startup hooks; if an explicit interpreter is unavoidable, use `/bin/bash -p`, never plain `bash mac-release`. - Keep app-specific build/package/sign behavior in repo scripts unless it is already manifest-driven. - Never print private key material. - Upload app/dSYM assets to a draft before publication. After a failure, preserve the release, tags, appcast commit, and local edits; inspect existing state and resume the failed step instead of deleting or retagging a possibly published release. - Prefer `MAC_RELEASE_SPARKLE_OP_REF` for headless release signing when the key is in 1Password; otherwise prefer Keychain Sparkle signing. `SPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE` is an explicit local override only. ## Commands ```bash /Users/steipete/Projects/agent-scripts/skills/release-mac-app/scripts/mac-release status …

How to install
mdr add steipete/agent-scripts/release-mac-app@sha256:f0f28d334d619719The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.1159adf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
