What Computer Use does

Computer Use enables an agent to inspect and operate local desktop app windows through accessibility trees, screenshots, and safe UI actions such as clicking controls, typing, pressing keys, scrolling, dragging, and setting values. Use it for interacting with desktop apps, browser windows, webviews, and Orca's own UI.

Computer Use is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Computer Use comes from a repository tagged ade, agent-ide, ai-agents, claude-code and cli.

Excerpt

Computer Use

This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. The full, version-matched computer-use reference is served by the orca binary itself — kept out of this file on purpose so it can never drift from the binary that will actually run your commands.

Engage Orca's computer-use surface whenever you must inspect or operate a local desktop app window — reading its accessibility tree, taking screenshots, or performing safe UI actions (click controls, type, press keys, scroll, drag, set values). It also covers browser windows, webviews, and Orca's own UI. Triggers include "computer use", "orca computer", "read Spotify", "read Slack", "control/click/read in a desktop app", and "get app state".
