Use only when the user explicitly invokes this skill for human-style UI QA or click-heavy setup, such as testing components and user flows or configuring Google Cloud Console. Delegate the manual clicking and back-and-forth to Codex Computer Use.

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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by davidondrej on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Computer Use AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

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.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
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/davidondrej/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/ops-and-setup/computer-use .claude/skills/computer-use

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Computer Use 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 Computer Use 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 Computer Use 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.

What it is. Computer Use in the ChatGPT desktop app's Codex view lets the agent operate real apps and browsers: read interfaces, click, type, and verify results. On macOS, it combines accessibility data with visual inspection and uses its own background cursor while the user works elsewhere. This closes the gap between writing code or explaining steps and actually using the interface to finish the job.

When and how. Use only when the user explicitly invokes this skill. Focus on UI QA—test components and user flows like a human, reproduce bugs, fix them, and retest—and click-heavy setup, especially Google Cloud Console forms and settings that otherwise require tedious manual back-and-forth. With the native Computer Use plugin enabled and user-approved permissions, name the target, desired outcome, constraints, and proof of completion, such as screenshots or verified settings. Ask before new permissions, charges, destructive changes, or sensitive account actions.

Working rules

Concurrency: Run only one active Computer Use task per target app to avoid conflicting actions.
Browser: Use the built-in browser for localhost testing. Use Brave for the user's existing signed-in browser context.
UI checks: Confirm the correct app and window before acting, then inspect the result after meaningful actions. Pause if the UI state becomes unexpected.
Execution: Use available Computer Use tools directly. If the current agent lacks them, give the user a ready-to-paste Codex prompt.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Computer Use AI skill do?

Why use Computer Use on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Computer Use 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 Computer Use in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/davidondrej/skills/tree/main/skills/ops-and-setup/computer-use. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Computer Use?

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 Computer Use?

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

Is the Computer Use AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by davidondrej under the MIT license. 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.
