computer-use

computer-use is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Vironnimo/vbot. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,278 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A way to inspect and control desktop application windows through a computer-use driver. It is intended for tasks that require interacting with a graphical application rather than only reading files or running commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect application windows, read their accessibility information, capture the screen, and carry out desktop actions through a named session.
Why use it?
It lets an agent handle visible desktop interfaces when ordinary file and command tools cannot perform the task.

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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/computer_use.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Computer Use

computer moves the user's real mouse and keyboard on the desktop of the computer the vBot server runs on. It is slow and visible to the user, so use it only when nothing better fits:

  • Prefer a shell, files, an app's command line or an API when they can do the job.
  • For web pages, prefer the playwright-cli Skill if you have it; it is faster and more reliable than clicking through a browser.

Workflow

  1. If computer_apps is available, {"action":"list"} shows displays, running apps and whether the user requires approval per app; add "query" to search installed apps. Otherwise take a screenshot of the whole monitor with computer {"action":"screenshot","view":"display"}.
  2. Only when approval per app is required: computer_apps {"action":"request","apps":["Notepad"],"reason":"..."} asks the user and waits for the answer. Name every app the task needs in one request. If computer_apps is unavailable, ask the user to enable it before operating an unapproved app. If the user declines, do not ask again unless they tell you to.
  3. If computer_apps is available, {"action":"open","app":"Notepad"} brings the app to the front, starting it if needed, and returns a screenshot. Otherwise click the app in the taskbar or Start menu of a display screenshot.
  4. Act with computer, one action per call. If computer_batch is available, use it for predictable steps, such as click a field, type, press enter. The steps of a batch return no screenshots in between, so batch only steps that do not depend on what an earlier step shows. A batch that sent input ends with one screenshot; to check fine details, end the batch with a zoom of the area you worked on.
  5. Check the screenshot each result returns before the next step. A successful input call means the input was sent; verify that the intended control, color, text or drawing actually changed before building on it. When a call fails after it sent input, its result shows the screen as the input left it.
  6. When done, use computer_apps {"action":"release"} if available. Otherwise finish your reply, which ends control.

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.
