codex-computer-use

codex-computer-use is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from enwong93-sketch/devspace-ultra. It costs 28 tokens per session (495 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for operating visible Windows desktop applications through their graphical interfaces. It can observe windows and perform actions such as clicking, typing, scrolling, dragging, and checking the rendered result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Automating Windows GUI work such as interacting with dialogs, menus, and application windows, with a fresh state check after each action.
Why use it?
It handles tasks that require using a desktop application's buttons and menus rather than editing files or running commands.

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

codex-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 22d 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

Codex Computer Use routing

Use codex_computer_use automatically when a task requires observing or operating a Windows graphical application, including an ordinary Chrome or Edge browser window: visible windows, buttons, menus, dialogs, screenshots, accessibility state, clicking, typing, scrolling, dragging, navigation through the visible address bar, or rendered-state verification.

Do not use it for repository/file edits, shell commands, APIs, database queries, or source-code search. DevSpace's obsolete custom Chrome-extension driver has been removed; do not recreate, pair, claim, or route browser work through a second implementation.

The DevSpace tool is only a structured adapter over the installed OpenAI bundled Computer Use runtime. The execution path is the shared persistent Codex node_repl importing @oai/sky; DevSpace does not implement SendInput, UI Automation, screenshot capture, Chrome Debugger/CDP control, Selenium, Playwright, PowerShell UI automation, or another GUI/browser driver.

Follow the official observe/action discipline:

  1. Call list_apps or list_windows and choose exactly one returned target window.
  2. Call get_window_state to observe. Use accessibility indexes only from that observation; use screenshot IDs only from that observation.
  3. Perform at most one state-changing action.
  4. Immediately call get_window_state again before deciding the next action.
  5. Never reuse stale indexes, coordinates, or screenshot IDs after the UI changes.
  6. When Computer Use is finished, make one final read-only observation with input.release_control=true. This explicit release is mandatory before the Agent's visible final response or before switching to unrelated non-Computer-Use work; it clears the blue takeover state immediately. If a Computer Use operation fails, DevSpace releases the takeover state automatically as a fail-safe.

ChatGPT Classic desktop windows may be controlled through native Computer Use when the user explicitly requests that app in the current task. First verify the exact target window and conversation, and keep actions scoped to that target. Do not automate terminal applications, Windows Run, authentication/password/security/privacy UI, or the Codex app UI. Higher-priority assistant safety rules and action-time confirmation requirements still apply even though DevSpace's local execution policy is full-access/approval-never.

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.
