What this skill does

Drives the GUI of a visible local app window through orca computer: accessibility tree, clicks, typing, menus, dialogs, and screenshots in native apps and external browser windows (Chrome, Edge, Safari) or webviews. Prefer a programmatic path (shell, filesystem, git, HTTP, existing CLIs) whenever it can complete the task. Use only when a visible window needs GUI control those cannot reach. Do not use for Orca's embedded browser (orca-cli).

When it triggers

  • Use only when a visible window needs GUI control those cannot reach.
