windows-computer-use

windows-computer-use is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sshh12/claude-plugins. It costs 60 tokens per session (743 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for controlling a Windows computer through screenshots, mouse and keyboard input, window controls, processes, and recordings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture screens, click and type, manage windows and processes, record motion, or play-test games and desktop apps.
Why use it?
It lets an agent inspect and operate a real Windows desktop, including apps that are difficult to control through text alone.

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

windows-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 3d 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 — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Windows computer use

Drive the local Windows desktop through the windows-computer-use MCP tools. The server runs on this machine and controls the real displays, mouse, and keyboard.

Tools

  • screenshot — see the screen: desktop, display:N/display:primary|left|right, a window (window:<title>, even if it is behind others), foreground, or a region. Returns a downscaled image + a capture_id.
  • act — input, batched: left_click, type, key, scroll, drag, hold_key, paste, click_element, mouse_move_relative, … Coordinates are in the last screenshot's image space.
  • record — record N seconds → one timestamped frame montage + an mp4 (judge motion/animation).
  • play — run a timed input script at a cadence while recording (games): hold w 2, look 200 0, tap space, probe/until for telemetry-driven early stop.
  • window — find / focus / close / get_text (read via UI Automation, no screenshot) / click_element (click a control by accessible name) — all token-cheap, no image. Use close to close UWP/Store apps (their window PID isn't the killable process).
  • processlaunch (incl. shell:true for URLs / ms-settings: / Store apps), kill, wait, shell, wait_for_file, wait_for_window (readiness — use instead of guessing a sleep).
  • systemdisplays (monitor layout, DPI, scale), cursor, clipboard get/set.

Rules that prevent the common mistakes

  • Coordinates are in the last screenshot's image space; the server maps them to physical pixels. A newer capture invalidates old coordinates — each screenshot returns a capture_id and act errors if you click against a stale frame. Pass that capture_id to act when precision matters.
  • Keyboard input goes to the FOREGROUND window. To type into an app, pass act focus="<title>" (focuses atomically before the batch) or call window focus first. act tells you which window actually received the input.
  • To read text, use window get_text (UIA + OCR fallback) instead of a screenshot — far cheaper, and it works without focusing the window. To click a labeled control, use click_element — it invokes via UI Automation and works even when the window isn't foreground.
  • Multi-monitor: call system displays first; target a monitor with display:0 / display:primary|left|right. Displays are 0-indexed.
  • Readiness: after process launch, use wait_for_window rather than sleeping.
  • Screenshots are inline + downscaled; video and full-resolution captures are written to a file and the path/link is returned.

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.
