Validate requested or discovered states in a native macOS app while preserving prior app state.

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

# Validate macOS App

Invoke `peekaboo` and validate `$ARGUMENTS`.

Parse the first argument as the required bundle ID. Treat the remaining text as
optional comma-separated view labels so labels may contain spaces. Parse this in
the agent; do not execute `$1`/`shift` in a fresh shell.

## Preflight and ownership

Check `peekaboo`, `jq`, selected-runtime permissions, and live help. Use
the primary `peekaboo` skill's setup diagnosis for missing prerequisites.

Before launch, query `peekaboo list apps --json` for the bundle ID and record
whether it is already running. Launch only when absent. Cleanup may quit the app
only when this command launched it; preserve a pre-existing process and report
that choice.

Use an artifact directory outside version control. Add the directory to
`.gitignore` when it lives under the repository. Track every task-created path
for cleanup.

## Observe and choose states

Predict JSON response size before each command. Persist every `see`,
`inspect-ui`, browser snapshot, capture result, or other likely-large response
to a named file and query only the fields needed for targeting and assertions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add johnkozaris/jko-claude-plugins/validate-macos-app@sha256:8154ee20dc12759a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.7b6e838, 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.
