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

desktop-control 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.

What it actually says

Desktop Control

Purpose

Use this parent skill when a task requires observing or controlling local desktop state, apps, files, windows, clipboard, screenshots, OCR, or local services.

Hierarchy Reading Rules

  1. Prefer semantic app, file, or accessibility tools before coordinate-based control.
  2. Load the specific child skill for the surface: UI, window, clipboard, file navigation, screenshot OCR, or service troubleshooting.
  3. Observe before acting, then verify after every state-changing action.
  4. Keep destructive, account-changing, and irreversible actions approval-gated.

Child Skill Guide

  • Use desktop UI, accessibility, keyboard/mouse/screen, and screenshot OCR skills for visible app interaction.
  • Use app launch/window management for focus, sizing, launching, and window state.
  • Use clipboard and local file navigation for data transfer and filesystem workflows.
  • Use local app troubleshooting and service monitoring for running processes, logs, ports, and health checks.

Verification

  • Confirm observed UI state before and after interaction.
  • Report when a target is not visible, ambiguous, stale, or blocked by permissions.

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.
