🧩 One of 7 skills in the openai/plugins package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

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

  1. Confirm the distribution goal.

    • Local archive validation
    • Signed distributable app
    • Notarization troubleshooting
  2. Inspect the artifact.

    • Validate app bundle structure.
    • Check nested frameworks, helper tools, and entitlements.
  3. Inspect signing and runtime prerequisites.

    • Hardened runtime
    • Signing identity
    • Nested code signatures
    • Required entitlements
  4. 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
