Use when learning how a running macOS app is built by inspecting its live view tree with uitool — reading real NSView subclasses, frames, fonts, CALayer facts, and Auto Layout constraints from another process and translating them into your own AppKit code. Covers the two injection postures (cooperative on a stock Mac vs unrestricted dev-box), the doctor/signing precondition gate, the filter→drill query loop, and turning runtime findings into a clean public-API recipe.
Claude Skills are markdown + scripts loaded into Claude Code; scanned with the same pipeline.
We found this by crawling public sources and nobody has attested to it. That is how most of the registry gets here, and it is not a mark against the artifact — it only means no authenticated act of publication is on record. An artifact can be the vendor's own and still appear here.
Claude Skills install to a single target, no runtime picker.
nerlo install -- 'markmals/mac-dev-skills (appkit-app-inspector)'
Manual alternative: copy the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/ so Claude Code loads it on next launch.
cp -r -- 'markmals/mac-dev-skills (appkit-app-inspector)' ~/.claude/skills/
Install respects the composite badge: Clean proceeds, Caution prompts for confirmation, and Flagged is refused. Write operations require an API token.
5 of 11 scanners examined this package. The rest do not apply to it — language, ecosystem and packaging decide which analyzers can say anything, and a scanner that cannot examine an artifact reports nothing rather than passing it.

Findings in files this artifact installs stand as reported; a model re-read the rest and said which ones it believes are false positives. This is a second opinion published beside the evidence, not a correction to it: the per-scanner reports above are unchanged, every dismissed finding is still listed there at its original severity, and the score and the Flagged badge are computed from those raw severities alone. Nothing below moved them.
Out of 72 findings across every scanner that examined this package.
Two keys had to turn. The model had to name a reason from a fixed list of six, and a deterministic check of ours — over which files this artifact actually installs — had to independently agree. Anything it could not corroborate is in “not reviewed” above, at full severity.
13 Documentation or example — The match is in documentation or sample code, confirmed by our own check to be outside the installed artifact.

These findings are in files this artifact installs and are not placeholder values. No false-positive basis can be corroborated for such a finding, so this review never dismisses one; they were not sent to the model and stand at their scanner's severity.

2 HIDDEN_DATA_FILE
High severity findings in marketplace configuration files
The artifact contains high severity findings related to marketplace configuration in `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` and `.codex-plugin/marketplace.json`. Medium severity findings indicate potential privacy concerns with state management and issues with lazy loading or file integrity. Additionally, there are low severity findings concerning vague descriptions and hidden data files.
Concern level assessed by the review: High. This is the review's scale, not the registry badge.
Reviewed by gemini-2.5-flash. The model sees the findings, not your code, and cannot change a score.
