What it does
Computer Use Hybrid is an agent skill from QwenLM/qwen-code-examples. Control native macOS, Windows, and Linux desktop apps through the open-computer-use MCP server. Use when the user asks to operate local apps with accessibility-tree context plus screenshots, inspect the screen, click UI, type text, press shortcuts, scroll, drag, or interact with OS-level GUI software.
Its SKILL.md is about 620 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 Desktop control. It works with Model Context Protocol, macOS, Linux and Qwen. The repository describes itself as: A collection of practical examples and best practices for Qwen Code.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to operate local apps with accessibility-tree context plus screenshots
- Inspect the screen
- Press shortcuts
- Interact with OS-level GUI software
Example prompts
- “/computer-use-hybrid”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Observe first with the platform server's accessibility-state or screenshot tool.
- Prefer accessibility-tree targets, window identifiers, focused elements, and semantic actions when the server exposes them.
- Use screenshots to confirm visual state, target bounds, and post-action results.
- Prefer keyboard shortcuts and typed navigation when practical.
- Use coordinate clicks only after accessibility metadata or a screenshot confirms the target location.
- After every meaningful action, verify with another state read or screenshot.
- Keep actions small and reversible.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ece9fe. 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
Computer Use Hybrid loads about 623 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 304 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 304 words (~623 tokens).
“Use the MCP tools exposed by the open-computer-use server to operate the user's real local desktop through accessibility-tree context and screenshots.”
