Instructions for using a pinned Orgo cloud computer, a remote computer that an agent can control when enabled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work with files, install packages, manage Git, open URLs, start processes, or interact with a graphical desktop. It applies only when a computer is pinned and the required access is enabled.
Why use it?
It explains which tools to use for shell commands, screenshots, mouse and keyboard input, and optional hosted computer runs.

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

computer-basics 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 1mo 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Computer basics

This skill is optional. Hermes does not inject it into the system prompt. Behavioral policy lives in the identity section and tool descriptions.

What this bot has

This profile can drive one pinned Orgo cloud computer:

  • orgo_computer_bash -- one shell command. Use this first for files, packages, git, opening a URL, starting a process.
  • orgo_computer_screenshot -- photo of the desktop. No AI credits. Click coordinates are pixels in that image.
  • orgo_computer_click / orgo_computer_type / orgo_computer_key -- direct mouse and keyboard. No AI credits. Screenshot after.
  • orgo_computer_run -- only if this profile enabled hosted_run. Last resort hosted GUI agent. Spends plan credits.

Bash first, pixels second, hosted run last (measured 2026-08-25). Chrome to Google News: bash ~14s / $0; screenshot+click ~34s / $0; hosted run ~90s / ~12 cents.

Orgo Linux notes: Xvnc is DISPLAY=:99. Chrome as root needs DISPLAY=:99 google-chrome --no-sandbox --disable-gpu --disable-dev-shm-usage URL. Humans use the repo orgo-term script (WebSocket PTY, no credits).

Credentials and the computer UUID are not tool arguments. If no computer is pinned, tell the user to run /computer. Do not retry that same turn.

One computer can run up to four screens. If this profile is pinned to a screen, screenshot/click/type/key touch only that screen; bash is shared by the whole machine.

Leave the computer clean

Other agents share this machine. When your task ends:

  • Close the tabs and windows you opened. Leave what you found.
  • Use the one browser profile that is already signed in. Never start a second profile.
  • Never quit the 1Password app. Closing a browser window is fine.
  • Do not leave downloads on the desktop. Move them or delete them.
  • Take one last screenshot and confirm only your own windows are left.

Pairing the live view

The human watches the same VM in the computer-viewer pane. Pin the same machine there (per-bot endpoint).

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.
