What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexities of structuring native macOS applications, preventing common LLM errors related to iOS-centric patterns and ensuring correct implementation of macOS-specific features like menu bar apps and multi-window management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • App Scaffolding: Provides the correct @main App struct and scene configurations (WindowGroup, MenuBarExtra, Settings).
  • Lifecycle Management: Integrates NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor for AppKit hooks.
  • Window Management: Demonstrates multi-window patterns and NavigationSplitView.
  • Configuration: Guides on Info.plist entries (e.g., LSUIElement) and entitlements.
  • Use Case: When starting a new macOS project, use this Skill to ensure the foundational structure is correct, avoiding costly refactoring later.

Quick Start

Use the macos-app-structure skill to generate a basic macOS application template with a main window and a settings window.
