macos-security-scanv1.0.0

A MacBook owner gets their device back from a third-party repair shop and worries about technician tampering, keyloggers, or unauthorized software. They run this skill to get a plain-English verdict on whether SIP, Gatekeeper, FileVault, launch agents, and permissions look normal, and receive a shareable report.

An IT admin at a small business uses the skill to baseline every macOS machine before handing it to an employee and re-scan it after return or repair. Findings like unexpected kexts, launch daemons, or screen recording permissions are flagged for review before the device re-enters the fleet.

A high-risk traveler runs the scan before leaving the country to catch active keyloggers, suspicious outbound connections, or revoked SIP. The report complements their existing threat model with evidence they can share with a security team if red flags appear.

An independent cybersecurity consultant performs the scan during a paid macOS security assessment and hands the markdown report to the client. The structured categories (kexts, launch agents, privacy permissions, network connections) map directly to assessment checklist items.

A parent checks a teenager's Mac for unexpected remote-access tools, unknown startup items, or suspicious browser extensions. The read-only nature of the scan keeps the process non-destructive and the plain-language summary makes findings understandable to non-technical family members.

Offer the core scan for free to drive installs, then charge for automated remediation guides, scheduled re-scans, or report history stored in the cloud. The skill's read-only design makes the free tier safe and trustworthy for casual users.

Bundle the scan as a value-added service within managed IT contracts for small businesses with macOS fleets. Technicians run it during onboarding, offboarding, and post-repair verification as part of a broader device lifecycle service.

Package the skill with branded reporting, evidence collection, and case management for consultants and incident responders. Customers pay per assessment or for an annual license to use it across client engagements.
