What Gui does

Gui opens GUI-capable sim-cli driver windows for clicks, text entry, dialog dismissal, and window-only screenshots. Use it when a solver workflow needs UI actions that the SDK does not expose.

Gui is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Gui comes from a repository tagged abaqus, advanced-packaging, agent-skills, ai-agents and ansys.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

`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:

{
  "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.
