What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
imac-api-reference
Writes or repairs authoritative API, SDK, CLI, configuration, type, callback, event, and protocol reference entries in a modern Inside Macintosh format. Use when signatures lack behavioral contracts, parameter direction, async semantics, ownership, errors, compatibility, examples, or precise cross-links.

imac-concept-explainer
Creates conceptual “About X” documentation for APIs, SDKs, frameworks, CLIs, protocols, and system features. Use when readers need a mental model, vocabulary, architecture, lifecycle, boundaries, diagrams, or progressive disclosure before they can use an interface correctly.
skills/imac-concept-explainer/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
imac-doc-architecture
Designs or restructures documentation sets, books, guides, chapters, and subsystem pages in the Inside Macintosh style. Use when planning information architecture, separating concepts/tasks/reference, creating reader roadmaps, defining chapter templates, or repairing navigation and cross-references.

imac-pdf-book
Renders a Markdown documentation set into a print-quality PDF book in the Inside Macintosh visual style, with a cover, a table of contents with page numbers, chapter openers, running heads, labeled callouts, Mermaid figures, and appendixes. Use when asked to produce a PDF guide, manual, or book from Markdown, or to package documentation written with the imac-* skills as a printable deliverable.

imac-review
Audits developer documentation against the modernized Inside Macintosh style. Use when reviewing a draft, documentation PR, API reference, tutorial, conceptual guide, documentation set, migration guide, or release documentation for structure, pedagogy, precision, safety, and web usability.

imac-style
Routes documentation work to the modernized Inside Macintosh skill set. Use when asked to write, plan, restructure, explain, document, or review APIs, SDKs, CLIs, frameworks, protocols, developer guides, or technical documentation in the Inside Macintosh style.
skills/imac-style/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
imac-task-guides
Creates “Using X” how-to guides, tutorials, quickstarts, and workflow documentation with progressive code. Use when documenting installation, configuration, SDK or API workflows, CLI procedures, lifecycle operations, async jobs, callbacks, cleanup, verification, or error recovery.
skills/imac-task-guides/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
imac-voice-and-tone
Writes or rewrites developer documentation in a modernized Inside Macintosh voice. Use when prose is vague, chatty, promotional, overly dense, weak about requirements, inconsistent in terminology, or missing rationale and concrete consequences.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
