What Computer Use does

Computer Use controls a paired Mac through Autonomous Buddy to open apps, navigate URLs, type, use shortcuts, copy text, and click labeled UI elements. Use it for explicit requests to do something on the user's computer; use vision for screen-reading or unlabeled UI tasks.

Computer Use is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Computer Use comes from a repository tagged agentic-ai, ai-agents, claude-code, embedded and llm.

Excerpt

Computer Use (Mac via Autonomous Buddy)

Quick Start

Autonomous Buddy is a small macOS app the user installs on their Mac. Once paired with the device via the Buddy card on the Monitor web UI, it lets the device launch apps, open URLs, type text, fire keyboard shortcuts, and click UI elements on the user's actual Mac.

This skill emits inline markers that the device fires asynchronously while TTS speaks the confirmation:

[HW:/buddy/exec/<action>:<params-json>]

The marker hits /api/buddy/exec/<action> on the device, which dispatches over the buddy's persistent WebSocket. Fire-and-forget — no response is awaited (TTS continues immediately).
