What it does
Cdesktop is an agent skill from cdesktop-ai/cdesktop. Operate the cdesktop coding-session environment — agent teams, session management, file conventions.
Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication. It works with DeepSeek, Model Context Protocol, Tauri and Rust. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Claude Code Desktop alternative. Use any provider/model. Web UI for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Hermes. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Authentication
Example prompts
- “/cdesktop”
Requirements
- Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 75bd015. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Cdesktop loads about 697 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 364 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- cdesktop
- description
- Operate the cdesktop coding-session environment — agent teams, session management, file conventions.
cdesktop
cdesktop spawns coding-agent sessions per workspace. You may be running as a standalone session, or as part of a team in the same workspace.
Agent Teams
Use this when delegating parallel subtasks, getting a second opinion, or running a structured debate. Teammates share your working directory by default — pick non-overlapping file scopes for write-heavy work.
Commands
Canonical invocation is npx cdesktop team ... (works without global
install). If cdesktop is on your PATH, you may use it directly as a
shorthand.
- Spawn (lead only):
npx cdesktop team spawn --name <name> [--prompt-file p] [--executor ...] [--model ...] [--provider ...] - Send:
npx cdesktop team send <id> --message-file p - List:
npx cdesktop team list --json
Every command requires the CDESKTOP_SESSION_ID env var, which cdesktop
injects automatically at executor spawn. If the var is missing, you are
running outside a cdesktop session and team commands will refuse.
When to spawn
- Research from N angles in parallel.
- Parallel implementation on non-overlapping modules.
- Devil's advocate / critique against your plan.
Roles
Free-text via --name. Common labels: researcher, reviewer,
refactorer, debater. The name is also the session's pill label in
the cdesktop UI, so prefer short (≤ 24 chars), descriptive names.
Cross-executor / cross-model
Pass --executor, --variant, --model, --reasoning, --provider
to spawn a teammate using a different agent / model than yourself. When
you change executor you MUST pass --model and --provider, otherwise
the server returns EXECUTOR_REQUIRES_PROVIDER.
When you omit these flags, the teammate inherits your executor, model, provider, reasoning effort, and permission mode.
Show full SKILL.md (124 more words)Show less
Peer messaging
Any team member can send to any other (including the lead). The
recipient's executor / model / provider are preserved — send never
swaps a teammate's config mid-stream. Encourage debate by spawning two
teammates with opposing prompts and forwarding their findings.
Anti-patterns
- Don't spawn for trivial subtasks — the orchestration overhead exceeds the benefit.
- Don't have N teammates write the same file in parallel — overlapping writes will clobber each other. Pick non-overlapping module scopes.
- Watch for ping-pong loops; cut a thread by sending a final resolution message or stopping the session in the UI.
- Don't expect teammates to be synchronous — they run in their own process and respond when they finish their turn.
