Scaffold, build, sign, and package SwiftPM macOS apps without Xcode projects.
macOS SwiftPM App Packaging (No Xcode)
Overview
Bootstrap a complete SwiftPM macOS app folder, then build, package, and run it without Xcode. Use assets/templates/bootstrap/ for the starter layout and references/packaging.md + references/release.md for packaging and release details.
When to Use
- When the user needs a SwiftPM-based macOS app without relying on an Xcode project.
- When you need packaging, signing, notarization, or appcast guidance for a SwiftPM app.
Two-Step Workflow
- Bootstrap the project folder
- Copy
assets/templates/bootstrap/into a new repo. - Rename
MyAppinPackage.swift,Sources/MyApp/, andversion.env. - Customize
APP_NAME,BUNDLE_ID, and versions.
- Build, package, and run the bootstrapped app
- Copy scripts from
assets/templates/into your repo (for example,Scripts/). - Build/tests:
swift buildandswift test. - Package:
Scripts/package_app.sh. - Run:
Scripts/compile_and_run.sh(preferred) orScripts/launch.sh. - Release (optional):
Scripts/sign-and-notarize.shandScripts/make_appcast.sh. - Tag + GitHub release (optional): create a git tag, upload the zip/appcast to the GitHub release, and publish.
Minimum End-to-End Example
Shortest path from bootstrap to a running app:
# 1. Copy and rename the skeleton
cp -R assets/templates/bootstrap/ ~/Projects/MyAppSubscribers only

accesslint-diff
Diff a live page's accessibility violations against a baseline — by default compares uncommitted changes (stash-based), or pass --branch [<name>] to diff against a branch. Reports only new violations introduced, violations fixed, and pre-existing count. Use `scan` for a full audit with no diffing.
accesslint-scan
Audit a live page for accessibility issues, locate each WCAG violation precisely, and return a selector-grounded fix worklist without editing.

Triage acc's open promises and close them with honest real-world verdicts via acc_act(runtime="outcome").
accint-frames
Drain acc's deliberation queue — open/waiting brain_frames checkpointed by headless runs — via acc_act(runtime="continue").
