Use when adding or auditing direct touch support in a macOS app (e.g. an iPad through Sidecar) alongside mouse and trackpad. That includes anything that behaves differently with touch than with a mouse, such as taps, hover, long-press menus, drags, scrolling, pinch and text selection, and bug fixes in existing event handlers. Replaces mouse-only handling (mouseDown/mouseDragged/mouseUp overrides, tracking loops, event monitors) with gesture recognizers, and resolves recognizer conflicts, click…

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 Touch Gestures Skill

## Read This First

Before editing any file, read the whole reference file for the active task from start to finish. Each reference starts with a Detection patterns section, and the patterns assume it. When a site matches more than one task, read each matching reference before the first edit.

## When to Use

Use this skill whenever the request is about any of the following, whether or not it names an API:

- Making a Mac app work with direct touch, including a touch display connected through Sidecar.
- Adopting `NSGestureRecognizer` in place of `mouseDown:`, `mouseDragged:`, `mouseUp:` overrides or `nextEvent(matching:)` loops.
- Taps, scrolling, long presses, drags, pinch, rotate, context menus, drag and drop, hover-revealed controls, popovers or outside-click dismissal that misbehave with touch.
- Gesture recognizers that block each other, never fire, or fire twice.

## Scope

Targeted changes in Swift and Objective-C AppKit code. Examples are in Swift; the Detection lists give Objective-C spellings (for example `shouldReceiveTouch:` for `gestureRecognizer(_:shouldReceive:)`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add artemnovichkov/xcode-skills/macos-touch-gestures@sha256:abfb2a4f0dc0c172

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.6fa4005, 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.
