Homebrew Cask Authoring

Author and maintain Homebrew Casks with correct token naming, stanzas, audit/style compliance, and local install testing.

Operating rules

• Prefer the official Homebrew documentation (Cask Cookbook, Acceptable Casks) when uncertain.
• Keep casks minimal: only add stanzas that are required for correct install/uninstall/cleanup.
• Avoid destructive system changes unless explicitly requested; call out any rm/tap changes before suggesting them.
• When testing local casks, ensure Homebrew reads from the local file (not the API).
• Treat local Homebrew tap overrides as temporary. When done testing/submitting, restore standard Homebrew state unless the user asks to keep the override.

Quick intake (ask these first)

Collect:

• App name (exact .app bundle name)
• Homepage (official)
• Download URL(s) (DMG/ZIP/PKG) and whether they differ by arch
• Version scheme (single version? per-arch?)
