macOS workstation diagnostics: kernel panics, failing drives, launchd startup audit, wake reasons, TCC denials, APFS snapshots. Triggers on: mac is slow, won't boot, kernel panic, login loop, drive failing, launchd, TCC permissions, Full Disk Access, Gatekeeper, sysdiagnose.

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-ops

> Verified as of 2026-07 — content assumes macOS 13 (Ventura) and later (`.ips` panic format on macOS 12+, universal SSH on macOS 13+).

## Helps with

Slow Mac, silent drive failure, unexplained panics, TCC denials, a full disk, 3am wakes, runaway system daemons, login loops, safe eject, failing-drive cloning, remote and Apple Silicon diagnostics. Where each signal lives: [references/symptom-guide.md](references/symptom-guide.md).

## The Universal Insight

**macOS tells you what's wrong if you ask the right log in the right way.** Most users (and most tutorials) reach for Activity Monitor or "About This Mac". The actual diagnostic signal lives in `log show` (the unified logging system), in `/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/`, in `pmset -g log`, in the TCC databases, and in `launchctl print`. This skill packages the queries that turn noise into a verdict.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 0xdarkmatter/claude-mods/mac-ops@sha256:a92a4d3c7b3d84d8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.e2f07a1, 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.
