gui SKILL.md skillA
gui from svd-ai-lab/sim-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Cross-driver GUI actuation for CAE solvers running under sim-cli. Use to click buttons, fill fields, dismiss dialogs, and capture window screenshots against GUI-capable driver windows through `sim exec`.
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
# `gui` — cross-driver GUI actuation
Whenever the active driver runs with `ui_mode=gui` (or `desktop`),
`sim serve` injects a **`gui`** object into your `sim exec` namespace
alongside `session` / `solver` / `meshing` / `model`. The object is the
same shape across solvers — only the process filter differs — so one
skill serves every GUI-capable driver.
`/connect` advertises it:
```json
{
"ok": true,
"data": {
"...": "...",
"tools": ["gui"],
"tool_refs": {"gui": "sim-cli/_skills/sim-cli/gui/SKILL.md"}
}
}
```
If `tools` doesn't contain `"gui"`, the driver launched headless and
the object is absent — don't call it.
## When to reach for `gui`
Three scenarios dominate:
1. **A blocking dialog is wedging the workflow.** A login prompt,
overwrite confirmation, or script-error dialog can pause agent work
until someone clicks a button — that someone is you, via `gui`.
2. **You need to drive the GUI where the SDK can't.** Some workflows
expose a UI-only surface that the driver API does not cover.
3. **You need a per-window screenshot.** `sim screenshot` captures the
whole desktop. `SimWindow.screenshot()` captures just the window you
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add svd-ai-lab/sim-cli/gui@sha256:12922870a5442d69The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.3a59f1d, 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.
