OpenClaw 评估
The skill's instructions match a legitimate desktop-automation CLI, but metadata mismatches and packaging/installation ambiguities (plus the high power to read/control the desktop) warrant caution before installing or granting permissions.
目的
SKILL.md clearly documents a desktop automation CLI (agent-desktop) that reads and manipulates macOS accessibility trees — this aligns with the described purpose. However the registry metadata (skill name 'my skill', slug 'aoto', owner IDs) does not match the tool identity in SKILL.md ('agent-desktop'), indicating packaging/branding inconsistency that should be resolved.
说明范围
The runtime instructions tell the agent to snapshot UI trees, read element properties and clipboard, list/dismiss notifications, synthesize keyboard/mouse events, and perform coordinate clicks. Those actions are coherent for a desktop automation tool but are high-privilege: they let the agent read arbitrary on-screen content and control apps. The SKILL.md also instructs the user/agent to install the CLI and to grant Accessibility permission to…
安装机制
There is no formal install spec in the skill bundle, but SKILL.md instructs installing via 'npm install -g agent-desktop' or 'bun install -g --trust agent-desktop'. That is a reasonable, common install path, but the registry package metadata does not provide a homepage/source or verify the npm package name, so you should verify the npm package and its publisher before running the global install.
证书
The skill declares no environment variables or credentials (appropriate). It does require granting macOS Accessibility permission to the terminal, which is necessary for the claimed functionality but also grants broad read/control over the desktop; this privilege is proportionate to the feature set but sensitive.
持久
The skill is not set to always:true. It can be invoked autonomously (platform default), which combined with desktop-control capabilities increases risk. Autonomous invocation alone is normal, but you should be aware that an agent using this skill could autonomously perform UI actions and read screen/clipboard data.

description: >
Desktop automation via native OS accessibility trees using the agent-desktop CLI.
Use when an AI agent needs to observe, interact with, or automate desktop applications
(click buttons, fill forms, navigate menus, read UI state, toggle checkboxes, scroll,
drag, type text, take screenshots, manage windows, use clipboard). Covers 54 commands
across observation, interaction, keyboard/mouse, app lifecycle, clipboard, and wait.
Triggers on: "click button", "fill form", "open app", "read UI", "automate desktop",
"accessibility tree", "snapshot app", "type into field", "navigate menu", "toggle checkbox",
"take screenshot", "desktop automation", "agent-desktop", or any desktop GUI interaction task.
Supports macOS (Phase 1), with Windows and Linux planned.

# agent-desktop
CLI tool enabling AI agents to observe and control desktop applications via native OS accessibility trees.
**Core principle:** agent-desktop is NOT an AI agent. It is a tool that AI agents invoke. It outputs structured JSON with ref-based element identifiers. The observation-action loop lives in the calling agent.
## Installation
```bash
npm install -g agent-desktop
# or
bun install -g --trust agent-desktop
```
Requires macOS 12+ with Accessibility permission granted to your terminal.
## Reference Files
Detailed documentation is split into focused reference files. Read them as needed:
| Reference | Contents |
|-----------|----------|
| `references/commands-observation.md` | snapshot, find, get, is, screenshot, list-surfaces — all flags, output examples |
| `references/commands-interaction.md` | click, type, set-value, select, toggle, scroll, drag, keyboard, mouse — choosing the right command |
| `references/commands-system.md` | launch, close, windows, clipboard, wait, batch, status, permissions, version |
| `references/workflows.md` | 12 common patterns: forms, menus, dialogs, scroll-find, drag-drop, async wait, anti-patterns |
| `references/macos.md` | macOS permissions/TCC, AX API internals, smart activation chain, surfaces, Notification Center, troubleshooting |
## The Observe-Act Loop
Every automation follows this pattern:
```
1. OBSERVE → agent-desktop snapshot --app "App Name" -i
2. REASON → Parse JSON, find target element by ref (@e1, @e2...)
3. ACT → agent-desktop click @e5 (or type, select, toggle...)
4. VERIFY → agent-desktop snapshot again to confirm state change
5. REPEAT → Continue until task is complete
```
Always snapshot before acting. Refs are snapshot-scoped and become stale after UI changes.
## Ref System
- Refs assigned depth-first: `@e1`, `@e2`, `@e3`...
- Only interactive elements get refs: button, textfield, checkbox, link, menuitem, tab, slider, combobox, treeitem, cell
- Static text, groups, containers remain in tree for context but have no ref
- Refs are deterministic within a snapshot but NOT stable across snapshots if UI changed
- After any action that changes UI, run `snapshot` again for fresh refs
## JSON Output Contract
Every command returns a JSON envelope on stdout:
**Success:** `{ "version": "1.0", "ok": true, "command": "snapshot", "data": { ... } }`
**Error:** `{ "version": "1.0", "ok": false, "command": "click", "error": { "code": "STALE_REF", "message": "...", "suggestion": "..." } }`
Exit codes: `0` success, `1` structured error, `2` argument error.
### Error Codes
| Code | Meaning | Recovery |
|------|---------|----------|
| `PERM_DENIED` | Accessibility permission not granted | Grant in System Settings > Privacy > Accessibility |
| `ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND` | Ref not in current refmap | Re-run snapshot, use fresh ref |
| `APP_NOT_FOUND` | App not running | Launch it first |
| `ACTION_FAILED` | AX action rejected | Try alternative approach or coordinate-based click |
| `ACTION_NOT_SUPPORTED` | Element can't do this | Use different command |
| `STALE_REF` | Ref from old snapshot | Re-run snapshot |
| `WINDOW_NOT_FOUND` | No matching window | Check app name, use list-windows |
| `TIMEOUT` | Wait condition not met | Increase --timeout |
| `INVALID_ARGS` | Bad arguments | Check command syntax |

## Key Principles for Agents
1. **Always snapshot first.** Never assume UI state.
2. **Use `-i` flag.** Filters to interactive elements only, reducing tokens.
3. **Refs are ephemeral.** Snapshot again after any UI-changing action.
4. **Prefer refs over coordinates.** `click @e5` > `mouse-click --xy 500,300`.
5. **Use `wait` for async UI.** After launch/dialog triggers, wait for expected state.
6. **Check permissions first.** Run `permissions` on first use.
7. **Handle errors.** Parse `error.code` and follow `error.suggestion`.
8. **Use `find` for targeted searches.** Faster than full snapshot when you know role/name.
9. **Use surfaces for menus.** `snapshot --surface menu` captures open menus.
10. **Batch for performance.** Multiple commands in one invocation.
