What it does
Cmux Cua is an agent skill from manaflow-ai/cmux. Use only after the user explicitly asks for cmux Computer Use through the cmux-cua skill: drive real macOS apps from a cmux agent session via the bundled engine (accessibility tree + screenshots, click/type/scroll/drag, branded cursor), or explain its user-directed permission setup. Reading or discovering this skill is not consent.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `link-policy.sh`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Desktop control and Accessibility. It works with macOS and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Open source Ghostty-based macOS terminal with vertical tabs and notifications for AI coding agents. Built for multitasking, organization, and programmability.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Desktop control
- Tasks that involve Accessibility
Example prompts
- “/cmux-cua”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Call get_app_state with the app name, full path, or unambiguous bundle id
- Prefer the current snapshot's string element_index; use screenshot-local
- Use xdotool-style key strings such as super+l with press_key.
- Operate controls with visible pointer clicks by default: the branded
- Actions return a compact dispatch acknowledgement, not a screenshot or
- Numeric element_index values belong only to the state that displayed them.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e82fa4. 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
Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.
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
Cmux Cua loads about 4.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,590 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,590 words (~4,770 tokens).
“cmux bundles a local computer-use engine (packaged as cmux Computer Use with the MCP proxy named cmux-cua, from a pinned build of the manaflow-ai/cmux-cua fork) and attaches it as an MCP tool server named cmux-cua to every agent session cmux…”
