computer-use

computer-use is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AtlasOmnia/donna-starter. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,987 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of computer-use, MIT.

A computer-control skill that lets an agent operate the desktop and browser in the background while the user continues working. It uses screenshots and accessibility information to identify things the agent can interact with.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for tasks that require clicking, typing, or reading information in desktop applications and browsers while keeping the user’s current workspace usable.
Why use it?
It allows browser and desktop tasks without taking over the user’s cursor, keyboard focus, or virtual desktop.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

computer-use scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Computer Use (universal, any-model, cross-platform)

You have a computer_use tool that drives the user's desktop in the background — your actions do NOT move the user's cursor, steal keyboard focus, or switch virtual desktops / Spaces. The user can keep typing in their editor while you click around in a browser in another window. This is the opposite of pyautogui-style automation.

Everything here works with any tool-capable model — Claude, GPT, Gemini, or an open model on a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint. There is no Anthropic-native schema to learn.

Hermes drives cua-driver under the hood for the platform plumbing. The Hermes-side computer_use tool exposed in this skill is a higher-level Hermes vocabulary; the raw cua-driver MCP tools (which a different agent harness would see) are NOT what you call — call the computer_use actions documented below.

The canonical workflow

Step 1 — Capture first. Almost every task starts with:

computer_use(action="capture", mode="som", app="<the app you're driving>")

Returns a screenshot with numbered overlays on every interactable element AND an AX-tree index like:

#1 AXButton 'Back' @ (12, 80, 28, 28) [Chrome]
#2 AXTextField 'Address bar' @ (80, 80, 900, 32) [Chrome]
#7 Link 'Sign In' @ (900, 420, 80, 24) [Chrome]
...

The role names match the host platform's accessibility framework (AXButton on macOS, Button on Windows UIA, push button on Linux AT-SPI) — treat them as labels, not as strict types.

Step 2 — Click by element index. This is the single most important habit:

computer_use(action="click", element=7)

Much more reliable than pixel coordinates for every model. Claude was trained on both; other models are often only reliable with indices.

Step 3 — Verify. After any state-changing action, re-capture. You can save a round-trip by asking for the post-action capture inline:

computer_use(action="click", element=7, capture_after=True)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
