Apple macOS expert for configuring, diagnosing, fixing, and optimizing MacBooks and Macs. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Mac, MacBook, macOS, system preferences, system settings, Finder, Dock, Terminal, defaults write, launchd, homebrew, brew, disk utility, Time Machine, Wi-Fi issues, Bluetooth problems, battery health, kernel extensions, login items, startup disk, screen resolution, trackpad settings, keyboard shortcuts, FileVault, Gatekeeper, SIP, firmware, SMC, NVRAM/PRAM, Activity Monitor, or any Apple/macOS system configuration or troubleshooting. Also trigger when the user asks about shell configuration (.zshrc, .bash_profile), macOS networking (DNS, firewall, VPN), performance issues, storage management, or any "how do I do X on my Mac" question. Even if the user doesn't say "Mac" explicitly but describes a macOS-specific behavior or setting, use this skill.
