Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s17emme0e2m3cpf7k2jvp3a84984b8z9:nm-phantom-computer-control

Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

# Computer Control Skill

Use Claude's Computer Use API to see and control desktop
environments through screenshots and mouse/keyboard actions.

## When To Use

- Automating GUI-based workflows that lack CLI alternatives
- Testing web applications through visual interaction
- Filling forms, navigating menus, or interacting with desktop apps
- Building automation pipelines that need visual verification

## When NOT To Use

- Tasks achievable through CLI or API (no GUI needed)
- Browser automation better served by Playwright or CDP

> **Why this stays opt-in.** Per
> [docs/inclusive-defaults.md][inc] (TRUE-exception
> category 4), Computer Use takes screenshots and
> synthesizes keyboard/mouse input — cross-process side
> effects that must always be explicitly invoked, never
> default-on.

[inc]: ../../../../docs/inclusive-defaults.md

## Architecture

The computer use system has three layers:

1. **Display Toolkit** (`phantom.display`) - executes OS-level
   actions via xdotool/scrot on the real or virtual display
2. **Agent Loop** (`phantom.loop`) - manages the conversation
   cycle between Claude API and the display toolkit
3. **CLI** (`phantom.cli`) - command-line interface for running
   tasks or checking environment readiness

```

```

## Quick Start

### Check environment

```bash
cd plugins/phantom
uv run python -m phantom.cli --check
```

### Run a task

```bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
uv run python -m phantom.cli "Open Firefox and search for Claude AI"
```

### Use in Python

```python
from phantom.display import DisplayConfig, DisplayToolkit
from phantom.loop import LoopConfig, run_loop

result = run_loop(
    task="Take a screenshot of the desktop",
    api_key="sk-ant-...",
    loop_config=LoopConfig(
        model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
        max_iterations=10,
    ),
    display_config=DisplayConfig(width=1920, height=1080),
)

print(f"Done in {result.iterations} iterations")
print(result.final_text)
```

## Description:

Automates desktop GUI workflows via computer use API with screenshot capture.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[athola](https://clawhub.ai/user/athola)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers and engineers use this skill to automate and verify GUI workflows that lack CLI or API alternatives, including visual web-app testing, form filling, and desktop app navigation.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The skill can capture screenshots and synthesize keyboard and mouse input in other desktop applications.

Mitigation: Run it in a sandbox, VM, Docker, or controlled desktop environment, and close private windows before use.

Risk: GUI actions can affect sensitive accounts or trigger irreversible real-world changes.

Mitigation: Avoid banking and sensitive services, and require explicit human confirmation before consequential actions.

- [OpenClaw homepage](https://github.com/athola/claude-night-market/tree/master/plugins/phantom)

## Skill Output:

**Output Type(s):** [text, markdown, code, shell commands, configuration, guidance]

**Output Format:** [Markdown guidance with shell command and Python code examples]

**Output Parameters:** [1D]

**Other Properties Related to Output:** [May require desktop screenshot and input access; use iteration caps for cost and runaway-action control.]

## Skill Version(s):

1.9.19 (source: ClawHub release evidence)

## Ethical Considerations:

Users should evaluate whether this skill is appropriate for their environment, review any generated or modified files before relying on them, and apply their organization's safety, security, and compliance requirements before deployment.
