replicate-macos-app: Codex skill for authorized macOS rebuilds

A polished macOS replication skill is useful **only** when the operator has rights. On rea.run we frame it as own shipping apps / licensed research — never “clone any commercial title.”

3/5 — Polished skill — strict authorization required

Quality. Codex skill wiring REA + Computer Use / Build macOS Apps with ledgered evidence.

Evidence. Install via skills CLI; pins [email protected]; independent-run checks documented.

Limits. README mentions closed-source apps — operators must have rights; no DRM/license bypass.

For. Mac operators reconstructing apps they own or are licensed to study.

What it is. MIT Codex skill installed via npx skills add. Uses REA (pinned), Build macOS Apps, and Computer Use plugins to investigate behavior and rewrite a new source tree.

Relation to REA. Investigation MCP/skill for macOS apps; complements Electron playbook and browser UI demos.

Authorized workflow. Confirm license/permission → install skill for Codex on that Mac → investigate with Evidence ledger → recreate in a new project named *-replicate.

Evaluation. Strong tooling; compliance tone is the hard part. We reject DRM bypass and unauthorized commercial cloning as out of scope.

Compliance

Only apps you own, ship, or have written permission to study. No App Store “clone anything,” no DRM/license bypass, no credential theft.

Takeaways

Rights first, tools second.
Evidence ledgers keep rebuilds honest.
New source ≠ redistributing the original binary.
