{computer-automation}
Vision-driven desktop automation using Midscene. Control your local desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) or a remote Windows desktop over RDP with natural language commands. Operates entirely from screenshots — no DOM or accessibility labels required. Can interact with all visible elements on screen regardless of technology stack. ⚠️ In local mode this takes over the user's real mouse and keyboard. For web apps, prefer "Browser Automation" instead. Only use this for desktop-native apps (Electron, Qt, native macOS/Windows/Linux) that cannot run in a browser, or for driving a remote Windows host via RDP. Triggers: open app, press key, desktop, computer, click on screen, type text, screenshot desktop, launch application, switch window, desktop automation, control computer, mouse click, keyboard shortcut, screen capture, find on screen, read screen, verify window, close app, test Electron app, rdp, remote desktop, windows server, connect via rdp Powered by Midscene.js (https://midscenejs.com)

| Provider | Status | Level | Summary | Scanned |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gen Agent Trust Hub | warn | MEDIUM | This skill enables desktop automation by downloading and executing the Midscene CLI from the npm registry. It handles sensitive credentials for AI models and RDP access, and it captures desktop screenshots to drive automation. Key risks include the processing of sensitive screen content by external AI models and the possibility of the agent obeying malicious instructions displayed on the screen (indirect prompt injection). | 2026-09-16 |

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
