description: Launch FloatingClock. Prefers the installed /Applications version; falls back to the local build. Use when the user wants to open the.

# /floating-clock:launch

Open the FloatingClock app.

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If the launch path or fallback logic breaks — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

## Steps

Prefer the installed app; fall back to the local build if the user hasn't installed yet:

```bash

if [ -d /Applications/FloatingClock.app ]; then

open /Applications/FloatingClock.app

echo "Launched from /Applications/"

else

LOCAL_APP="$PLUGIN_ROOT/build/FloatingClock.app"

if [ -d "$LOCAL_APP" ]; then

open "$LOCAL_APP"

echo "Launched from local build at $LOCAL_APP"

echo "Tip: run /floating-clock:install to put it in /Applications/ for Spotlight access."

else

echo "No app found. Run /floating-clock:install first."

exit 1

fi

fi

```

## Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

1. **Did `open` succeed silently?** — If macOS surfaced a gatekeeper prompt, document the bypass.

2. **Did the fallback to local build trigger when expected?** — If the user has the installed app but it's stale, the system path wins; that's intentional.

3. **Did paths drift?** — `/Applications/FloatingClock.app` or local build path change → update the script.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
