Summary
This is your foundation for controlling Mac apps through Apple Events, whether you're using AppleScript for quick discovery, JXA for data handling, or the modern PyXA Python library. The skill walks you through the full workflow from opening an app's dictionary in Script Editor to hardening production automation with error handling and permission checks. It includes warm-up scripts that surface macOS security prompts before you start automating. The honest truth is that JXA hasn't been updated since 2016, so the guide steers you toward PyXA for new work while keeping AppleScript around for prototyping and exploring what's possible in each app's dictionary.
