# Add macOS Menu Bar Status Indicator

Adds a persistent menu bar icon that shows NanoClaw's running status and lets the user
start, stop, or restart the service — similar to how Docker Desktop appears in the menu bar.

**macOS only.** Requires Xcode Command Line Tools (`swiftc`).

## Phase 1: Pre-flight

### Check platform

If not on macOS, stop and tell the user:

> This skill is macOS only. The menu bar status indicator uses AppKit and requires `swiftc` (Xcode Command Line Tools).

### Check for swiftc

```bash
which swiftc
```

If not found, tell the user:

> Xcode Command Line Tools are required. Install them by running:
>
> ```bash
> xcode-select --install
> ```
>
> Then re-run `/add-macos-statusbar`.

### Check if already installed

```bash
launchctl list | grep com.nanoclaw.statusbar
```

If it returns a PID (not `-`), tell the user it's already installed and skip to Phase 3 (Verify).

## Phase 2: Compile and Install

### Compile the Swift binary

The source lives in the skill directory. Compile it into `dist/`:

```bash
mkdir -p dist
swiftc -O -o dist/statusbar "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/add/src/statusbar.swift"
```

This produces a small native binary at `dist/statusbar`.

On macOS Sequoia or later, clear the quarantine attribute so the binary can run:

```bash
xattr -cr dist/statusbar
```

### Create the launchd plist
