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.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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-desktop` must be installed and its native binary available.
- On macOS, the terminal app running `shelra` needs Accessibility permission.
- Refs from `computer_snapshot` are only valid until the next snapshot.

## Preferred flow

1. Delegate to `task` with `agent: "computer"` unless the current agent already has the `computer_*` tools and the task is tiny.
2. Use `computer_launch`, `computer_list_windows`, or `computer_focus_window` to get the target app/window ready.
3. Start with `computer_snapshot`.
4. Pick one ref-based action.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shelra/shelracode/agent-desktop@sha256:625f02a4c04de90b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.db3e167, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
