Platforms count differently and update at different times.
Programmatically control Claude Code in visible macOS Terminal windows via AppleScript for command input, screenshots, session logging, and terminal management.
The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.

# Claude Code Control Control Claude Code programmatically through visible Terminal.app windows on macOS. ## How It Works Uses AppleScript to: 1. Open Terminal.app and launch `claude code` in a project directory 2. Type commands via System Events keystrokes 3. Capture screenshots of just the Terminal window (not full screen)
4. Record full sessions with timestamped logs
## Requirements
- macOS
- Node.js 18+
- Claude Code installed and authenticated
- Accessibility permissions for Terminal.app + Script Editor (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility)
## Usage
```javascript
const cc = require('./index');
// Launch Claude Code visibly
const session = await cc.launch('/path/to/project');
// Send a command (types it + presses Enter)
const result = await cc.send(session, 'write tests for app.py', 30);
// result.screenshot → path to Terminal window screenshot
// Save session recording
await cc.saveSession(session, './recording.json');
// Close
await cc.close(session);
```
## API
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| `launch(path, opts?)` | Open Terminal + start Claude Code. Returns session ID |
| `send(id, command, waitSec?)` | Type command, wait, screenshot. Returns `{screenshot, duration_ms}` |
| `verifyScreen(id, desc)` | Take a verification screenshot |
| `approveSecurity(id)` | Handle "trust this folder" prompt |
| `handleLogin(id)` | Send `/login` command |
| `saveSession(id, path)` | Save session log to JSON |
| `close(id)` / `closeAll()` | Exit Claude Code gracefully |
| `takeScreenshot(path?)` | Capture Terminal window |
