macos-fda-grant-helper skillA
macos-fda-grant-helper is agent-read markdown (skill) from terrylica/cc-skills: Interactive helper for granting macOS Full Disk Access (FDA) to a launchd-spawned binary. TRIGGERS - full disk access, fda grant, TCC permission, "Maccy DB unreadable", "operation not permitted" on sandbox-protected paths, launchd binary needs file access.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# macOS Full Disk Access Grant Walkthrough > **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues. > **What this skill is for**: when a launchd-spawned binary (or any non-interactive process) needs to read sandbox-protected paths like `~/Library/Containers/<app>/Data/...`, macOS TCC will deny the access until that specific binary is added to the **Full Disk Access** allowlist in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access. We cannot grant this programmatically — Apple's design — but we can automate everything **up to** the manual click. ## Why this exists …

How to install
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/macos-fda-grant-helper@git:20260519.8fe0d4dmdr add terrylica/cc-skills/macos-fda-grant-helper@sha256:b7e26f9a50c5a125Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
