Session Arcade

Use this skill when the user wants a polished macOS surface for game sessions, cloud gaming, or quick console handoffs.

Presentation

  • Make the surface feel like a premium Apple utility.
  • Lead with one calm summary line and one clear action.
  • Keep the visual language restrained, dark, and readable at a glance.

Build shape

  • Prefer a menu-bar popover or compact status-item panel.
  • Show the primary state first, then the useful detail lines.
  • Keeps the next game or session within a few clicks.
  • Makes it easier to move from launcher to play mode.
  • Feels like a fun utility instead of a generic gaming dashboard.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent unsupported metrics or background services.
  • Keep the app simple enough to feel native on macOS.
  • Use one primary action and a small set of supporting actions.

Prototype

  • SwiftUI starter files live in prototype/.
  • The prototype should stay menu-bar first and easy to transplant into a real macOS target.

When extending

  • Add more depth only when it improves the single workflow the skill is meant to solve.
  • If the skill grows, keep the menu-bar path short and the detail panel readable.
