  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by A-EVO-Lab on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Gui Click Over Keyboard AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve/tree/main/seed_workspaces/osworld/skills/gui-click-over-keyboard
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve.git /tmp/a-evolve
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/a-evolve/seed_workspaces/osworld/skills/gui-click-over-keyboard .claude/skills/gui-click-over-keyboard
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Gui Click Over Keyboard in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Gui Click Over Keyboard on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Gui Click Over Keyboard is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Prefer GUI Clicks for Visual & Formatting Tasks

Keyboard shortcuts are fast for simple operations, but many desktop tasks require direct GUI interaction via mouse clicks. Defaulting to keyboard-only approaches is a common failure mode.

Always use GUI clicks for:

1. LibreOffice Impress formatting

  • Font color, size, bold/underline: select text by clicking/dragging, then click toolbar buttons or use Format > Character menu
  • Slide background color: right-click slide > Slide Properties > Background tab > pick color from the color chooser
  • Object alignment/positioning: click the object to select, then drag or use Position and Size dialog (F4)
  • Multi-slide operations: click each slide in the panel, apply changes per-slide — no reliable keyboard-only path

2. Cross-application (multi_apps) workflows

  • Switch windows by clicking taskbar icons — Alt+Tab ordering is unreliable
  • Copy-paste across apps requires clicking into the target window and field first
  • File browser dialogs: click through the folder tree or type the path in the location bar
  • When coordinating data between Calc/Writer/Impress/Chrome: click into each app, visually confirm the data, then proceed

3. GIMP canvas operations

  • Layer selection: click the layer in the Layers panel — keyboard shortcuts only cycle layers
  • Color picking and area selection: must click on canvas coordinates
  • Tool options (brush size, opacity): click the sliders or input fields in the tool options panel

4. Color and style pickers

  • Color choosers in any app require clicking the color grid or entering hex values in a text field
  • Style dropdowns (font family, paragraph style): click the dropdown arrow, then click the option
  • These UI elements have no keyboard-only alternative

When keyboard shortcuts ARE appropriate:

  • Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+Z to undo, Ctrl+C/V to copy/paste
  • Ctrl+A to select all content
  • Typing text into an already-focused text field
  • Opening known menus (Alt+F for File menu) as a starting point, then clicking menu items
  • Terminal/command-line tasks (os domain)

Rule of thumb

If the task involves visual properties (color, position, size, alignment) or multiple applications, plan for heavy GUI clicking. Count your clicks — if your plan has fewer than 5 clicks for a formatting task, you are probably missing steps.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Gui Click Over Keyboard AI skill do?

When to prefer GUI mouse clicks over keyboard shortcuts — especially for formatting, multi-step visual tasks, and cross-application workflows.

Why use Gui Click Over Keyboard on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Gui Click Over Keyboard is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Gui Click Over Keyboard in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve/tree/main/seed_workspaces/osworld/skills/gui-click-over-keyboard. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Gui Click Over Keyboard?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Gui Click Over Keyboard?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Gui Click Over Keyboard with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Gui Click Over Keyboard AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by A-EVO-Lab. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
