  • A task needs the users own computer: its files
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Cloud Mac is an agent skill from davidondrej/cloudroom-core. Run commands and copy files on the user’s paired Mac from a Cloudroom cloud thread. Use when a task needs the user’s own computer: its files, logs, configs, repositories, or logins.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Open-source, self-hostable Rust runtime that runs Claude Code, Codex, and Pi in the cloud. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A task needs the users own computer: its files

Example prompts

  • “/cloud-mac”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d5222b5. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Cloud Mac loads about 454 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~454

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.

description
Run commands and copy files on the user’s paired Mac from a Cloudroom cloud thread. Use when a task needs the user’s own computer: its files, logs, configs, repositories, or logins.

The user's Mac

  • cloudroom mac run 'COMMAND' runs it on the user's Mac as the user, in a login shell in their home folder. It prints the output and exits with the command's code. Add --cwd DIR to change folder, or --stdin to forward input.
  • cloudroom mac pull MAC_PATH [VM_FOLDER] copies a Mac file or folder here. cloudroom mac push VM_PATH [MAC_FOLDER] copies to the Mac (default: its home folder). Limit: 16 MiB compressed.
  • Add --write to any run that changes the Mac: editing files, installing, opening apps, or stopping processes. The user picks Mac access: Off, Read-only, Ask first, or Full. Below Full, other commands run read-only and --write is refused (Read-only) or waits for the user's approval (Ask first). push always counts as a change. If a change is refused or denied, don't retry; tell the user what you need.
  • Read-only commands can't use ps or top; use pgrep -fl or lsof instead.
  • Mac unavailable means it is offline, asleep, or access is off. Continue the cloud work; tell the user only if the Mac is essential.
  • Operation not permitted in Desktop, Documents, or Downloads means macOS privacy blocks it. Ask the user to update Cloudroom, then turn on Cloudroom in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files and Folders. Older versions need python3 turned on there instead.
  • If the Mac disconnects mid-command, the command keeps running there. Check it with cloudroom mac result JOB. Never re-run it automatically.
  • This is the user's real computer. Read before changing. Never delete or overwrite their work unless asked.
