macOS Skills settings UI and gateway-backed status	Updating the macOS Skills settings UI Changing skills gating or install behavior

Skills (macOS)

The macOS app surfaces Clawdis skills via the gateway; it does not parse skills locally.

Data source

• skills.status (gateway) returns all skills plus eligibility and missing requirements.
• Requirements are derived from metadata.clawdis.requires in each SKILL.md.

Install actions

• metadata.clawdis.install defines install options (brew/node/go/pnpm/git/shell).
• The app calls skills.install to run installers on the gateway host.

Env/API keys

• The app stores keys in ~/.clawdis/clawdis.json under skills.<skillKey>.
• skills.update patches enabled, apiKey, and env.

Remote mode

• Install + config updates happen on the gateway host (not the local Mac).
