Prepare and troubleshoot packaging, signing, and notarization workflows for macOS distribution. Use when asked to archive a Mac app, validate bundle structure,…
This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.
name: packaging-notarization description: Prepare macOS packaging and notarization workflows. Use when archiving apps, validating bundles, or explaining distribution-only failures.
Packaging & Notarization
Workflow
-
Confirm the distribution goal.
- Local archive validation
- Signed distributable app
- Notarization troubleshooting
-
Inspect the artifact.
- Validate app bundle structure.
- Check nested frameworks, helper tools, and entitlements.
-
Inspect signing and runtime prerequisites.
- Hardened runtime
- Signing identity
- Nested code signatures
- Required entitlements
-
Explain notarization readiness or failure.
- Separate packaging issues from trust-policy symptoms.
- Point to the minimum follow-up validation commands.
Guardrails
- Do not present notarization as required for ordinary local debug runs.
- Call out when you lack the actual exported artifact and are inferring from project settings.
- Keep advice concrete and verifiable.
Output Expectations
Provide:
- what artifact or settings were inspected
- whether the app looks distribution-ready
- the top missing prerequisite or failure mode
- the next validation or repair step

Quick Start
Use this skill when the work is about shipping the app rather than merely running it locally: archives, exported app bundles, notarization readiness, hardened runtime, or distribution validation.
