macOS Platform

macOS-specific development with window management and distribution tools.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, launch in parallel:

  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing macOS patterns
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest macOS 26 docs via Context7/Exa
  3. mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__build_macos - Build for macOS validation

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.

Overview

When to Use

  • Building Mac desktop applications
  • Creating menu bar apps (MenuBarExtra)
  • Multi-window applications
  • Keyboard shortcuts and menus
  • Notarization for distribution
  • AppKit integration
