• Compress large files with: /caveman:compress CLAUDE.md

AppleScript Automation

1. Confirm target app and action intent
2. Agent inspects app dictionary and builds safe script
3. Safety checklist applied before destructive actions
4. Read-back verification after execution

Browser Automation

agent-browser open <url>
agent-browser snapshot -i --json
agent-browser click @e2

macOS Shortcuts

shortcuts list        # List available shortcuts
shortcuts run "Name" # Run by exact name
shortcuts view "Name" # View workflow details

Notes

• Global skill installation enabled via --global flag
• Git commits made after significant changes
• Communication style: concise, initiative-taking, ask before acting unless clearly autonomous
• AppleScript uses read-first, confirm-second approach for all write operations
• Agent-browser preferred over built-in browser for deterministic multi-step automation
