What is open-interpreter?

A desktop-control tool that operates native macOS or Linux applications with mouse and keyboard actions, screenshots, and text recognition. It can run under the coding agent, as a separate automated process, or locally through Ollama.

Use it to click through desktop applications, enter text, inspect screens, and automate GUI tasks, including offline computer use with a local model.

It helps when an application has no usable command-line interface or API. Screenshots and text recognition let the agent work with visible graphical interfaces.

NVIDIA SkillSpector warn 7 Sept 2026

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

medium Rogue Agent · line 89
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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	$0.00091	$0.02214
Opus 5	$0.00046	$0.01107
Sonnet 5	$0.00018	$0.00443
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00221

Security

Grade A, and why

open-interpreter 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/oi_click.py, scripts/oi_computer.py, scripts/oi_find_text.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

OpenInterpreter — Desktop GUI Automation

Desktop control for Claude Code via OpenInterpreter (62k stars, AGPL-3.0). Mouse, keyboard, screenshot, and OCR primitives backed by pyautogui + pytesseract.

Mode Selection

Mode	LLM	Script	Best For
Library	Claude Code (native)	Individual scripts below	Surgical GUI actions — Claude sees screenshots, reasons, dispatches actions
OS subprocess	Claude API (via OI)	`oi_os_mode.py`	Full autonomous computer use — delegate entire GUI tasks
Local agent	Ollama (offline)	`oi_os_mode.py --local`	Offline computer use, no API costs, privacy-sensitive tasks

Use Library mode by default. Use OS subprocess to delegate self-contained GUI tasks. Use Local agent when offline or to avoid API costs.

Installation

Run once:

~/.claude/skills/open-interpreter/scripts/oi_install.sh

Installs open-interpreter[os] via uv, verifies pyautogui and tesseract, checks macOS permissions.

macOS permissions (one-time, manual):

System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility > add terminal app (Ghostty/Terminal/iTerm2)
System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording > add terminal app

Verify permissions:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/open-interpreter/scripts/oi_permission_check.py

Library Mode: The Screenshot Loop

The core pattern for GUI automation:

1. Take screenshot   →  oi_screenshot.py
2. Read PNG          →  Claude Read tool (native vision)
3. Decide action     →  Claude reasoning
4. Execute action    →  oi_click.py / oi_type.py
5. Verify            →  Take another screenshot
6. Loop until done

Scripts

oi_screenshot.py — Capture screen, return file path with Retina metadata

python3 ~/.claude/skills/open-interpreter/scripts/oi_screenshot.py
python3 ~/.claude/skills/open-interpreter/scripts/oi_screenshot.py --region 0,0,800,600
python3 ~/.claude/skills/open-interpreter/scripts/oi_screenshot.py --active-window

Changes

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.
