The following is the complete skill definition that VibeOS loads when this skill is triggered. This is what the agent sees as instructions when the skill is active.
macOS Desktop Preset
Safe, repeatable patterns for controlling the Mac desktop with computer_use
plus clipboard helpers. Prefer Accessibility (ax / som) over blind clicks.
When to Use
- User asks to drive Finder, Safari, or other Mac apps
- Copy/paste between apps after generating text
- Focus an app before typing
Prerequisites
- macOS Accessibility permission for Terminal / VibeOS / Electron
computer_usetoolset enabled- Optional:
clipboard-notifyskill for pbcopy/notify
How to Run
- Capture UI:
computer_usewithaction=capture,mode=som(orax). - Act on element ids from the capture (click / type / set_value).
- For clipboard-only tasks, load
clipboard-notifyand use its scripts.
Quick Reference
| Goal | Approach |
|---|---|
| See UI | computer_use capture som/ax |
| Click / type | computer_use with element ref |
| Clipboard | clipboard-notify copy/paste |
| Notify user | clipboard-notify notify |
Procedure
- Ask which app to control if unclear.
- Capture before acting; never spam clicks.
- Re-capture after important actions (
follow_up_capturewhen available). - Stop and ask if Accessibility permission is denied.
Pitfalls
- Do not disable security prompts or approve TCC dialogs without the user.
- Avoid full-screen games / banking apps unless explicitly requested.
- Notifications may show on the Lock Screen — no secrets.
Verification
- Capture shows the expected app frontmost.
- Requested text appears in the target field or clipboard paste matches.
