control-apiChange Jarvis's own configuration through the local Control API instead of clicking the desktop UI or driving Computer-Use.
Control API is an agent skill from PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis. Change Jarvis's own configuration through the local Control API instead of clicking the desktop UI or driving Computer-Use. Lets a local coding agent (Codex CLI, Claude Code) read and change settings, switch brain/STT/TTS providers, switch the reply language, and rotate API keys — all over HTTP on the loopback interface.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Text to speech and voice and Desktop control. The repository describes itself as: Your AI assistant, built for the agentic era. Open source and local: talk to it, and it runs your agents, your coding CLIs, your browser and your apps. Windows, macOS, Linux. The licence is Apache-2.0.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d3c7b70. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curlFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
JARVIS_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Control API loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 349 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.
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.

.claude/skills/control-api/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Jarvis exposes a local HTTP API at /api/control/* so an agent can do
anything the user can do in the desktop app — without Computer-Use. This skill
is the recipe a coding agent (Codex CLI, Claude Code) follows when the user
asks it to change a Jarvis setting on this machine.
Every install generates its own per-user key (prefix jctl_).
http://127.0.0.1:<port> where <port> is [ui].admin_api_port
in jarvis.toml (the same port the desktop app/browser UI uses).curl -s http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/control/api-key
# => {"key":"jctl_...","masked":"jctl_…1234"}Send the key as a Bearer header on every other call:
Authorization: Bearer jctl_...Verify it works:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $JARVIS_KEY" \
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/control/auth/probe # => {"ok":true}curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $JARVIS_KEY" \
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/control/allowlistReturns every mutable setting with its path, risk_tier (safe/ask),
needs_restart, and a description. Validate a path against this before you
write — a path that is not listed (or is a protected secret) is refused.
# read
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $JARVIS_KEY" \
"http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/control/config?path=brain.reply_language"
# write
curl -s -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer $JARVIS_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"path":"brain.reply_language","value":"en","reason":"user asked"}' \
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/control/configThe response envelope: {ok, applied, needs_confirmation, pending_id, requires_restart, backup_path, risk_tier, ...}.
safe settings (e.g. brain.reply_language, tts.speed, ui.theme)
apply immediately: applied=true. Language hot-reloads into the next turn —
no restart.ask settings (e.g. brain.primary, tts.provider) return
needs_confirmation=true and a pending_id. Confirm it:curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $JARVIS_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"pending_id":"<id>"}' \
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/control/config/confirm
# or .../config/reject to cancelrequires_restart=true means the change is persisted but only takes effect
after the user restarts Jarvis (e.g. STT provider) — say so honestly.
There are TWO language settings: ui.language (the INTERFACE the user sees —
every label/button) and brain.reply_language (what Jarvis SPEAKS/writes;
auto mirrors the user's input). When the user says "change the/your language
to X", switch BOTH — the /language verb does that for a concrete code:
curl -s -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer $JARVIS_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"reply_language":"en"}' \
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/control/language # auto | de | en | es
# concrete code (de/en/es) -> sets reply_language AND ui.language; the open UI
# switches live. "auto" -> reply only.Or set just one explicitly via /config (ui.language = en/de/es,
brain.reply_language = auto/de/en/es).
# snapshot of all providers + settings
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $JARVIS_KEY" \
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/control/providers
# switch a tier (brain | tts | stt | subagent)
curl -s -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer $JARVIS_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"provider":"gemini"}' \
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/control/providers/brain

Change Jarvis's own configuration through the local Control API instead of clicking the desktop UI or driving Computer-Use. Control API is an agent skill from PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis. Change Jarvis's own configuration through the local Control API instead of clicking the desktop UI or driving Computer-Use.
Control API fits situations like: tasks that involve Text to speech and voice; tasks that involve Desktop control.
Run `npx skills add PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis --skill control-api -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (jarvis/skills/builtin/control-api in PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis) into .claude/skills/control-api in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis --skill control-api -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (jarvis/skills/builtin/control-api in PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis) into .agents/skills/control-api in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis --skill control-api -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/control-api, .gemini/skills/control-api, .github/skills/control-api and .opencode/skills/control-api in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Control API needs the command-line tools its instructions call (curl) and credentials named JARVIS_KEY. Our summary lists: A credential in JARVIS_KEY.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Control API is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Control API: Computer Use (katipally/openlive, 336 stars), Vision Skills (Anionex/agent-vision-toolkit, 1.2k stars), Mac Computer Use (To3akaRin/mac-computer-use, 1.1k stars) and AgentCall Join Meeting (pattern-ai-labs/agentcall, 165 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
PersonalJarvis (a GitHub organization) maintains it in PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis, which has 141 GitHub stars. The repository holds 12 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 8, 2026.
