What problem does it solve?
Controlling a macOS desktop remotely is error-prone when relying on blind pixel clicks. This Skill provides backend-specific guidance for driving macOS through the computer_use_remote tool using structural Accessibility-tree targeting, window actions, and screenshot verification.
Core Features & Use Cases
- AX Structural Targeting: Inspect the frontmost app's Accessibility tree with
ax_snapshot and act on named controls with ax_action (press, focus, set_value) instead of fragile coordinate clicks.
- Window Management: Handle macOS window actions such as hide (Command+H) and minimize (Command+M), with mandatory screenshot verification after each attempt.
- Permission Handling: Detect and correctly respond to macOS Screen Recording, Accessibility, and Input Monitoring permission failures, including
COMPUTER_USE_REARM_REQUIRED states.
- Use Case: After connecting to a macOS host via the A0 CLI, use this Skill to click a dialog's OK button by role and title, verify the result from the attached screenshot, and recover gracefully if the target is ambiguous or missing.
Quick Start
Load this skill after the host computer-use status reports a macOS backend, then take an AX snapshot of the frontmost app and press the target button by role and title.
