What problem does it solve?

Automating native desktop applications traditionally requires bringing windows to the foreground, stealing focus from the user's current work and disrupting their workflow. This Skill enables background-first GUI automation that keeps the user's frontmost app unchanged while driving any native application.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-platform GUI automation: Drive apps on macOS, Windows, and Linux using a single unified skill with platform-specific safety guardrails.
  • Accessibility-tree interaction: Snapshot an app's accessibility tree, click and type by element index, and verify actions via re-snapshot without ever activating the target window.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to open Finder, navigate to the Downloads folder, and verify a file exists — all while keeping their code editor frontmost and their cursor undisturbed.

Quick Start

Use the cua-driver-rs skill to open the Downloads folder in Finder and verify its contents without bringing Finder to the foreground.
