3. Script generation (JXA or PyXA)
4. Apple Events execution
5. App responds and returns results

Adding as a Marketplace

```

/plugin marketplace add SpillwaveSolutions/automating-mac-apps-plugin

```

After adding marketplace then you can add skill

Once the plugin is available as a Claude Code marketplace:

```bash

claude plugins install automating-mac-apps-plugin

```

Option 2: Install from GitHub

Clone directly into your Claude skills directory:

```bash

# Navigate to Claude skills directory

cd ~/.claude/skills

# Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/automating-mac-apps-plugin.git

# Or clone to a specific location and symlink

git clone https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/automating-mac-apps-plugin.git ~/projects/automating-mac-apps-plugin

ln -s ~/projects/automating-mac-apps-plugin ~/.claude/skills/automating-mac-apps-plugin

```

Option 3: Manual Installation

1. Download or clone this repository
2. Copy the plugins/automating-mac-apps-plugin/ folder to ~/.claude/skills/

```bash

cp -r plugins/automating-mac-apps-plugin ~/.claude/skills/

```

After installation, verify the plugin is recognized:

```bash

# List installed plugins

claude plugins list

# Or check the skills directory

ls ~/.claude/skills/

```

Before using the automation skills, you need to grant macOS Automation permissions. Run the setup scripts to trigger permission prompts:

All Apps at Once

```bash

cd ~/.claude/skills/automating-mac-apps-plugin

./skills/automating-mac-apps/scripts/request_automation_permissions.sh

# Or use Python:

python3 ./skills/automating-mac-apps/scripts/request_automation_permissions.py

```

Per-App Setup

Run individual setup scripts as needed:

| App | Script |

|-----|--------|

| Calendar | ./skills/automating-calendar/scripts/set_up_calendar_automation.sh |

| Notes | ./skills/automating-notes/scripts/set_up_notes_automation.sh |

| Mail | ./skills/automating-mail/scripts/set_up_mail_automation.sh |

| Keynote | ./skills/automating-keynote/scripts/set_up_keynote_automation.sh |

| Numbers | ./skills/automating-numbers/scripts/set_up_numbers_automation.sh |

| Excel | ./skills/automating-excel/scripts/set_up_excel_automation.sh |

| Reminders | ./skills/automating-reminders/scripts/set_up_reminders_automation.sh |

| Contacts | ./skills/automating-contacts/scripts/set_up_contacts_automation.sh |

| Voice Memos | ./skills/automating-voice-memos/scripts/set_up_voice_memos_automation.sh |

Important: Run scripts from Terminal or the Python interpreter you intend to use for automation. This ensures the correct app (Terminal.app or Python) receives permission approval.

Once installed, Claude Code automatically loads relevant skills based on context. You can also invoke commands directly:

```

# Convert CSV to Numbers spreadsheet

/csv-to-numbers data.csv

# Create a Keynote presentation from a document

/doc-to-deck report.md

# Set up a meeting with calendar event, notes, and reminders

/meeting-setup "Project Kickoff" tomorrow 2pm

```

Or ask Claude naturally:

• "Create a Numbers spreadsheet from this CSV data"
• "Send an email to the team about tomorrow's meeting"
• "Add a reminder to follow up next week"
• "Export this Keynote to PDF"

This workspace includes a test suite for contributors:

```bash

# Install test dependencies

poetry install --with test

# Run tests

poetry run pytest

```

See README-tests.md for detailed testing instructions.

• macOS 10.15+ (Catalina or later)
• Claude Code CLI
• Python 3.10+ (for PyXA-based automation)
• Apps you want to automate (Calendar, Mail, Numbers, etc.)
