What is macos-computer-use?

A guide for using a Mac computer through native app, window, keyboard, mouse, and screenshot controls, with readiness and approval checks.

Use it to plan, perform, verify, or troubleshoot macOS workflows and create bounded notes or artifacts.

It helps carry out computer tasks safely by inspecting the current state first and keeping actions involving apps, credentials, and configuration controlled.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00041	$0.00530
Opus 5.5	$0.00016	$0.00212
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00106
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00053

Security

Grade A, and why

macos-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.

Macos Computer Use

This is a Stram-native skill. It is authored inside this repository and uses only Stram-owned tools, approval gates, artifacts, and optional dependency records.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks for macos computer use planning, execution, verification, troubleshooting, or artifact creation inside Stram.

Workflow

Clarify the user's concrete macos computer use objective, target environment, credentials already configured, and expected artifact or action.
Use tool_search or capability_surface to find the native Stram tools for the domain before choosing a path.
Run safe inspection/readiness steps first and write bounded notes or artifacts under the workspace or data directory.
Use macOS app/control tools and screenshots for local Apple app workflows; do not rely on private Apple APIs unless the user explicitly configures an approved bridge.
For messages, reminders, notes, or location workflows, prepare approval-gated actions and require user confirmation before sending, deleting, or changing personal data.
Summarize what ran, what was skipped, what remains blocked, and the exact files or records created.

Safety And Boundaries

Do not import, execute, or vendor upstream assistant code for this skill.
Do not store raw secrets; store only environment variable names, secret references, or readiness booleans.
Use approvals for writes, sends, purchases, desktop control, process launches, provider calls, and destructive operations.
Treat personal data, messages, calendars, reminders, contacts, and location data as sensitive.

Verification

Record concrete evidence paths or tool outputs before claiming completion.
Prefer dry-run or prepared artifacts when credentials, hardware, licenses, or live services are missing.
If a provider-specific runtime is not configured, report the missing credential or binary by name and stop before live execution.

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.
