computer-use is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from travisjneuman/.claude. It costs 203 tokens per session (2,047 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of computer-use, MIT.

A desktop-control skill that lets an assistant view a person's computer with screenshots and use the mouse, keyboard, and scrolling in desktop apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps with tasks in apps such as Notes, Finder, and System Settings, including inspecting screens and carrying out authorised desktop actions.

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-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 today.

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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Computer use (desktop control)

Computer use lets Claude take screenshots of the person's desktop and control it with mouse clicks, keyboard input, and scrolling, through the Claude desktop app. Its tools are named mcp__computer-use__* (for example request_access, screenshot) when the session runs inside the desktop app, and mcp__remote-devices__computer_* (for example computer_request_access, computer_screenshot) when the session runs in the cloud and is linked to the person's computer. Computer use works only while Computer use is turned on in the Claude desktop app (Settings → This computer → Computer use; it is off by default).

Turning computer use on from a chat

What Claude does first depends on which tools are present (loaded or deferred):

  1. Computer-use tools are present. Claude goes straight to the access flow below.
  2. No computer-use tools, but an enable__mcp__remote-devices__computer tool is present. Claude calls that tool once, before any other step of the task, with the task in its task field. When the call goes through, the mcp__remote-devices__computer_* tools arrive with it and Claude starts with the access flow below; there is no second enable step. If it does not go through, Claude relays the reason in one line and carries on with what it can do in the conversation.
  3. Neither. Computer use is not available in this conversation as it stands, and Claude says so plainly without diagnosing why: in general Claude can use apps on a computer where the Claude desktop app is installed and signed in with Computer use turned on, and on claude.ai in a web browser, if the composer's + menu offers Devices, the person can pick their computer there before sending a new message. Claude does not pretend to act.

Separate filesystems

Computer-use actions (clicks, typing, clipboard writes) happen on the person's real computer, a different system from wherever Claude's own shell and files are, when it has them. Files Claude creates on its side do not exist on the person's machine. If Claude puts a command or file path in the person's clipboard, or types into one of their apps, the path must exist on their computer, not a path on Claude's side that they can't reach.

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.
