bg3-steam-launcher

bg3-steam-launcher is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tdimino/bg3se-macos. It costs 129 tokens per session (1,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A macOS automation guide for starting Baldur's Gate 3 through Steam and loading saved games, including sessions used to test its Script Extender.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch the game, load a save, watch for the launcher controls, and test Script Extender injection on macOS.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating manual launch and save-loading steps during development. Screenshots and scripted controls help inspect and operate the game window.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is cd /path/to/bg3se-macos && ./scripts/build.sh.

Good fit Use it to launch the game, load a save, watch for the launcher controls, and test Script Extender injection on macOS.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file 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

bg3-steam-launcher 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 13d 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.

BG3 Steam Launcher

Automate launching Baldur's Gate 3 via Steam and loading saved games.

MCP Servers Used:

  • macos-automator - AppleScript execution for UI automation
  • peekaboo - Fast screenshots and AI-powered visual analysis

Prerequisites

claude mcp add macos-automator -- npx -y @steipete/macos-automator-mcp@latest
claude mcp add peekaboo -- npx -y @steipete/peekaboo-mcp@beta

Grant accessibility permissions to osascript in System Preferences → Security → Accessibility.

MCP Tools Quick Reference

Peekaboo (Vision)

Tool Use
mcp__peekaboo__image Capture screenshot of screen/app/window
mcp__peekaboo__analyze Ask AI questions about screenshots
mcp__peekaboo__list List running apps and windows

macos-automator (Actions)

Tool Use
mcp__macos-automator__execute_script Run AppleScript/JXA
mcp__macos-automator__get_scripting_tips Search automation scripts

Core Workflow

Step 1: Launch BG3 via Steam Protocol

do shell script "open steam://run/1086940"

BG3 Steam App ID: 1086940

Step 2: Wait for Larian Launcher

Use Peekaboo to monitor for the PLAY button, then click it.

Step 3: Wait for Main Menu (15-30s)

Poll with Peekaboo screenshots looking for Continue/Load Game/New Game buttons.

Step 4: Load Save

Navigate menus using keyboard (Enter=36, Esc=53, arrows) or mouse coordinates.

Mouse Clicks (JXA + CGEvent)

Standard AppleScript click at doesn't work for game UIs. Use JXA with CGEvent:

// Execute with language: "javascript"
ObjC.import('Cocoa');

function clickAt(x, y) {
    const point = $.CGPointMake(x, y);
    const down = $.CGEventCreateMouseEvent($(), $.kCGEventLeftMouseDown, point, $.kCGMouseButtonLeft);
    const up = $.CGEventCreateMouseEvent($(), $.kCGEventLeftMouseUp, point, $.kCGMouseButtonLeft);
    $.CGEventPost($.kCGHIDEventTap, down);
    delay(0.05);
    $.CGEventPost($.kCGHIDEventTap, up);
}

// Get window-relative coordinates
function getWindowClickPos(processName, xPercent, yPercent) {
    const se = Application('System Events');
    const proc = se.processes.byName(processName);
    const win = proc.windows[0];
    const pos = win.position();
    const size = win.size();
    return {
        x: pos[0] + (size[0] * xPercent),
        y: pos[1] + (size[1] * yPercent)
    };
}

// Example: click PLAY button (22% across, 87% down)
const coords = getWindowClickPos('bg3', 0.22, 0.87);
clickAt(coords.x, coords.y);

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.
