What it does
Agent Desktop is an agent skill from superagent-ai/grok-cli. Use the built-in Computer sub-agent with agent-desktop for macOS desktop automation. Apply when a task needs application launching, accessibility snapshots, stable element refs, window focusing, semantic clicks/typing, or visual confirmation outside the browser sandbox.
Its SKILL.md is about 720 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 Subagents, Desktop control and Accessibility. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: An open-source coding agent for the Grok API. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Subagents
- Tasks that involve Desktop control
- Tasks that involve Accessibility
Example prompts
- “/agent-desktop”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Delegate to task with agent: "computer" unless the current agent already has the computer_* tools and the task is tiny.
- Use computer_launch, computer_list_windows, or computer_focus_window to get the target app/window ready.
- Start with computer_snapshot.
- Pick one ref-based action.
- After any UI transition, snapshot again before reusing refs.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb97af8. 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
Agent Desktop loads about 720 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 356 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.

- agent-desktop
- description
- Use the built-in `Computer` sub-agent with `agent-desktop` for macOS desktop automation. Apply when a task needs application launching, accessibility snapshots, stable element refs, window focusing, semantic clicks/typing, or visual confirmation outside the browser sandbox.
agent-desktop
Use this skill when the task involves the host macOS desktop rather than repository files, shell output, or browser-only verification.
This project uses agent-desktop on the host. Prefer the built-in Computer sub-agent for these tasks instead of trying to drive the desktop with plain shell commands.
When to use it
- The user wants to inspect or interact with a native macOS application.
- The task needs app launch, window focus, accessibility snapshots, semantic element refs, clicks, typing, keypresses, or scrolling.
- A browser-only workflow is not enough, or the target is not a web page.
Requirements
agent-desktopmust be installed and its native binary available.- On macOS, the terminal app running
grokneeds Accessibility permission. - Refs from
computer_snapshotare only valid until the next snapshot.
Preferred flow
- Delegate to
taskwithagent: "computer"unless the current agent already has thecomputer_*tools and the task is tiny. - Use
computer_launch,computer_list_windows, orcomputer_focus_windowto get the target app/window ready. - Start with
computer_snapshot. - Pick one ref-based action.
- After any UI transition, snapshot again before reusing refs.

Tool guidance
computer_snapshot: primary observation tool; preferinteractive_only.computer_click: userefvalues from the latest snapshot whenever possible.computer_type: requires a target ref and is preferred over coordinate typing.computer_press: use for shortcuts and special keys such asEnter,Tab,cmd+space, orcmd+k.computer_scroll: pass an element ref, not raw coordinates.computer_get: read text, value, bounds, role, or states from a ref.computer_screenshot: use for visual confirmation or when the accessibility tree is not enough.
Reliability rules
- Use a snapshot -> act -> snapshot loop.
- Prefer refs over coordinates.
- Refs go stale after the next snapshot; do not reuse them blindly.
- Keep actions reversible and low risk unless the user explicitly asked for something destructive.
- If the accessibility tree is poor or ambiguous, use
computer_screenshotfor confirmation and explain the limitation.
Blockers
Stop and report clearly if:
- Accessibility permission is missing.
agent-desktopis unavailable or its native binary is missing.- The target app/window cannot be found.
- Refs are stale or ambiguous after a UI transition.
- The requested action could be destructive and the user did not explicitly ask for it.
