cua-driver

cua-driver is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dmmulroy/.dotfiles. It costs 98 tokens per session (14,721 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A tool for driving native desktop applications on macOS, Windows, and Linux through the cua-driver command-line tool or an MCP server. It can inspect an application's accessibility tree and interact with identified controls, menus, windows, or screen coordinates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Automating native GUI applications, reading their controls, using menus, positioning windows, clicking by coordinates, and verifying the resulting state.
Why use it?
It lets an agent operate graphical applications while checking the current interface state after actions. This reduces reliance on manual desktop interaction for supported tasks.

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

cua-driver 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 yesterday.

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 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.
