Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# computer-use-linux Use `computer-use-linux` when an agent needs to observe or operate a local Linux desktop through MCP: inspect the accessibility tree, list/focus windows, take screenshots, click, scroll, type, press keys, or invoke AT-SPI actions. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - The user wants the agent to control a Linux GUI app. - You need desktop state from AT-SPI, screenshots, or compositor window metadata. - You are configuring the `computer-use-linux` MCP server for your agent. - A desktop action needs target-aware input instead of blind shell commands. Do not use this for remote browsers, websites, or headless automation when a browser-specific tool is available. Do not assume desktop actions are safe just because the MCP connection works. ## Install Preferred install: ```bash npm install -g @agent-sh/computer-use-linux computer-use-linux doctor | jq .readiness ``` Rust users can install from crates.io: ```bash cargo install computer-use-linux computer-use-linux doctor | jq .readiness ``` If `doctor` reports missing input or accessibility support, run: ```bash computer-use-linux setup computer-use-linux setup-window-targeting computer-use-linux doctor | jq .readine

What does the computer-use-linux skill do?
Linux desktop observation and control via the computer-use-linux MCP server: accessibility trees, screenshots, window targeting, and input synthesis (click, type, scroll). Works with any MCP host.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add agent-sh/computer-use-linux --skill computer-use-linux --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From agent-sh/computer-use-linux, a repository with 354 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
