   Grant the permissions

   On first launch Skilly asks for these four, in this order. Each one is a macOS prompt the app opens.

   1. Microphone. Choose Allow Microphone. Skilly listens only while you hold the talk shortcut or use Live Tutor.
   2. Screen Recording. Choose Allow Screen Recording. Skilly captures one screenshot only when you ask. macOS may ask you to quit and reopen Skilly after you approve it. How to allow screen recording on a Mac.
   3. Screen Content. Choose Confirm Screen Content and confirm the display Skilly may inspect. No continuous recording runs in the background.
   4. Accessibility. Choose Allow Accessibility. This enables the global talk shortcut and lets Skilly move its pointer to the control it is explaining. Skilly points. It never clicks.
