Use when adding or reviewing macOS user notifications — UNUserNotificationCenter permission flow, categories and action buttons, click routing through the delegate, foreground presentation, and rules that keep notifications from becoming spam.

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 Notifications

Notify only when the user benefits from being pulled back — task finished, task failed, something needs their decision — and make every notification click land on the exact screen that resolves it.

## When to use

Use this skill when the user says:

- notify when done / notification when the task finishes
- desktop notification / system notification
- `UNUserNotificationCenter` / `UserNotifications`
- notification permission
- notification actions / buttons
- clicking the notification should open …
- background job finished, tell the user
- reminder from a macOS app

Do not use this skill for push/APNs server setup, iOS-specific notification UI, or in-window status banners (those are in-app feedback — see `apple-hig-feedback-status`).

## Core rule

```
Notify only when being pulled back saves the user something.
Every notification answers: what happened, and what happens
when I click it.
```

## When to notify — and when not

Worth a notification (the app is likely in the background):

```
Completed     long task finished        → click opens the result
Failed        long task failed          → click opens the error + retry
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aka-kika/akakika-skills/macos-notifications@sha256:d2b917d14bfa2187

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260717.accdb14, 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.
