Computer Use

Computer Use

Use this skill to automate the UI of Microsoft Windows apps. It uses SendInput, UI Automation, and Windows.Graphics.Capture screenshots that work even when windows are occluded.

If this plugin is available, read this entire SKILL.md once before Windows automation work, before saying Computer Use is unavailable, and before falling back to other Windows automation.

Start with the directions in the Initialize section below. Use await sky.documentation("<name>") when you need information about the specific topic they cover:

• guidance: core runtime behavior, target-window workflow, screenshot handling, and recovery guidance. You MUST read this before controlling Windows apps.
• api: full sky API reference. Read this when you need method signatures or object shapes.
• confirmations: you MUST read this before deciding whether a Windows UI action needs confirmation

Initialize

The Computer Use entry point is <plugin root>/scripts/computer-use-client.mjs. Import it by absolute path. It loads the bundled cua_node @oai/sky runtime internally; do not import @oai/sky directly, spawn codex-computer-use.exe, or build a custom helper protocol client. App approvals and user interruption handling only work through this wrapper.

Run this once per fresh node_repl JavaScript session:

if (!globalThis.sky) {
  const { setupComputerUseRuntime } = await import("<plugin root>/scripts/computer-use-client.mjs");
  await setupComputerUseRuntime({ globals: globalThis });
}
