Set macOS's "user fixed-pitch font" and per-app fixed-width fonts (TextEdit plain text, Stickies default note) to a chosen font — by default JetBrains Mono NL Nerd Font. Idempotent and parameterized, so it doubles as a fresh-machine setup step. Use when the operator wants their default monospaced/fixed-width font changed, or asks "make my fixed-width font X", "default mono font", "set Stickies/TextEdit font". TRIGGERS - default fixed-width font, monospaced font default, set my mono font…
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
<!-- SKILL-PLUGIN-ROOT-OK: explains why this variable must not be used here --> # macos-font-defaults — set the system fixed-width font > **Self-Evolving skill** — if a macOS release changes these defaults keys or Stickies' storage, fix this SKILL.md and `apply.sh`; see the Post-Execution Reflection at the bottom. macOS has **no single system-wide monospaced-font setting**.

How to install
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/macos-font-defaults@sha256:bab3022aec74ab32The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.a836faf, 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.
