What it does
Droid Control is an agent skill from Factory-AI/factory-plugins. Control terminal TUIs, browsers, and native desktop apps for testing, demos, QA, and computer-use tasks. Use when you need to operate an app, automate a CLI, record a demo, or capture proof.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 29 other files (for example `atoms/browser-use/ATOM.md`, `atoms/capture/ATOM.md` and `atoms/compose/ATOM.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Desktop control. The repository describes itself as: Official Factory plugins marketplace.
When your agent uses it
- You need to operate an app
- Tasks that involve Desktop control
Example prompts
- “/droid-control”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Target route — what are you driving?
- Stage route — what does the workflow need?
- Artifact route — does compose need polish tools?
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7166a07. 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:
apt-getnpmpipcargo
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
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
Droid Control loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,335 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:243
sudo apt-get install -y cage wtype # required: headless compositor + keystroke injection - NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:244
sudo apt-get install -y grim wf-recorder # optional: screenshots + video recording - NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:253
sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg # video processing (includes ffprobe)
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,335 words (~3,592 tokens).
“Automate terminals, browsers, and desktop apps. Route by the user's requested method first, then load only the mechanics and evidence stages needed.”
