What it does
Operate the user's real desktop apps and windows on macOS, Windows, or Linux. Use when the user asks to open or drive a native app, click or type in a desktop UI, inspect or arrange a window, use their signed-in system browser, or verify an end-to-end GUI flow, including "open Settings and turn on dark mode", "click Save in that window", "what's on screen". Uses an accessibility-first driver (Cua Driver by default, Peekaboo on macOS). Not for the Paradev (formerly Superset) in-app browser pane, headless scraping, or anything an API or CLI can do directly.
Paradev Computer Control
paradev is an alias for the superset CLI: every superset command here also runs as paradev.
Operate the user's real desktop through an accessibility-first driver: a local CLI that exposes accessibility snapshots, exact window screenshots, native menu operations, and targeted input without making the agent guess at stale screen coordinates. The contract in this skill (preflight, task-scoped session, snapshot, act, verify, semantic operations first, conservative failure handling, clean teardown) is driver-agnostic. The command reference below is for Cua Driver, the default.
Choose the right surface
- Use this skill for native apps, OS UI, and browser windows outside Paradev.
- Use
superset:browserfor Paradev's in-app browser pane. - Prefer an application API, purpose-built CLI, or direct filesystem operation when the requested result does not require GUI interaction.
Choose a driver
- If the user names a driver, use that one.
- Otherwise use whichever supported driver is already installed:
Cua Driver (
cua-driver, cross-platform, the default) or Peekaboo (peekaboo, macOS only). If both are installed, use Cua Driver and mention the alternative once. - If neither is installed, ask the user which to install before installing anything; recommend Cua Driver unless the user is macOS-only and prefers Peekaboo.
- With a driver other than Cua Driver, apply this skill's contract through that driver's own command surface; discover it with the driver's help output and documentation rather than assuming the Cua command shapes below.
