macos-app-automation — Automate native macOS apps with AppleScript, URL schemes, System Events, and Hermes computer-use fallbacks; includes TCC/Automation permission troubleshooting.

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

# macOS App Automation

Use this skill when the user asks whether Hermes can control a native macOS app, or asks you to verify, configure, or troubleshoot AppleScript/Automation access for an app.

## Preferred automation ladder

1. AppleScript dictionary / app scripting API
 - Best for structured app data and repeatable operations.
 - Verify with the app's bundle ID, version, and scripting dictionary before promising coverage.
2. App URL scheme
 - Good for quick-add or deep-link actions when documented by the app.
3. System Events / Accessibility scripting
 - Useful for menu items and UI operations not exposed in the app dictionary.
4. Hermes `computer_use`
 - Last-resort GUI operation for UI-only features. Capture first, click by element index, verify after state changes.
 - If the wrapper reports that its cua-driver session ended, recover the same session before concluding GUI control is blocked. If Hermes has already rejected repeated identical calls, change the wrapper call signature or continue through direct `cua-driver call` operations rather than retrying the same arguments.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add atlasomnia/hermes-custom-pack/macos-app-automation@sha256:57ab821d545ddeef

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
