# macOS App Skills [](https://skills.sh/fayazara/macos-app-skills) AI coding agent skills for building, shipping, and maintaining native macOS apps with SwiftUI + AppKit. ```bash npx skills add fayazara/macos-app-skills ``` These skills are designed for [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai), [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Cursor](https://cursor.sh), and any AI coding agent that supports skills. They encode hard-won patterns for building production macOS apps -- the kind of stuff that's underdocumented, spread across WWDC sessions, and easy to get wrong. ## Skills ### `build/` -- Build macOS App Build any native macOS Xcode project from the command line using `xcodebuild`. Handles project discovery, scheme detection, beta toolchains, and common build failures. ### `settings-ui/` -- Settings Window with Liquid Glass Create a proper macOS settings/preferences window with liquid glass support for macOS 26 (Tahoe). Uses `NSWindowController` with `.fullSizeContentView` for the rounded liquid glass window chrome, `NavigationSplitView` with sidebar, grouped Forms with transparent backgrounds, and back/forward toolbar navigation. Includes complete reference Swift files you can copy into any project. ### `auto-update/` -- Sparkle Auto-Update Add [Sparkle](https://sparkle-project.org/) auto-update support to a macOS app distributed outside the Mac App Store. Covers SPM dependency setup, the `UpdaterManager` singleton pattern, Info.plist configuration, EdDSA key generation, and UI integration (settings toggle + menu bar button). Includes a reference `UpdaterManager.swift` ready to drop into any project. ### `macos-patterns/` -- Native Patterns for Web Developers The "how things actu
