The skill's own prerequisite check (a plain osascript call to Safari) failed cleanly with an AppleEvent-timeout in this sandbox, which is exactly the no-permission scenario the SKILL.md already anticipates and gives System Settings remediation for -- graceful degradation rather than a silent hang or hallucinated result.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Claude for Safari does

Controls the user's actual macOS Safari session (real cookies, logins, open tabs) through AppleScript and screencapture instead of a separate automated browser instance. Triggers on 'safari', 'browser', 'open tab', 'screenshot the page', 'read this site', and requests to click, fill forms, scroll, or navigate — checks Automation and JavaScript-from-Apple-Events permissions up front and tells the user exactly which System Settings panel to open if they're missing.
