Linux Desktop Preset

Patterns for driving a Linux desktop with computer_use, plus clipboard helpers via wl-copy/xclip when available.

When to Use

• User asks to control windows, menus, or desktop apps on Linux
• Copy/paste text without a dedicated clipboard core tool

Prerequisites

• computer_use toolset enabled
• Display session (X11 or Wayland)
• Optional: wl-clipboard or xclip/xsel for clipboard

How to Run

1. computer_use capture (som or ax when supported).
2. Click/type using returned element refs.
3. Clipboard:

# Wayland
printf '%s' 'hello' | wl-copy
wl-paste

# X11
printf '%s' 'hello' | xclip -selection clipboard
xclip -selection clipboard -o

Quick Reference

Goal	Approach
UI capture	computer_use capture
Act	click / type / focus_app
Clipboard	wl-copy/wl-paste or xclip

Procedure

1. Detect session: $XDG_SESSION_TYPE (wayland vs x11).
2. Capture before acting.
3. Prefer keyboard shortcuts over fragile pixel clicks when documented.

Pitfalls

• Headless SSH sessions have no desktop — say so and stop.
• Wayland blocks some automation; fall back to typed shortcuts.
• Never paste secrets into shared terminals.

Verification

• Capture shows the target window.
• Clipboard round-trip echoes the same string.
