# MacPilot Skills

Agent skills for [MacPilot](https://github.com/adhikjoshi/macpilot) — a CLI tool for macOS automation via Accessibility APIs.

These skills teach AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) how to use MacPilot to automate macOS tasks: clicking buttons, typing text, managing windows, handling file dialogs, taking screenshots, and more.

## Install

```bash
npx skills add adhikjoshi/macpilot-skills
```

This uses the [skills](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills) CLI to install skills into your agent of choice.

## Available Skills

| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| **macpilot-automation** | Core macOS automation — mouse, keyboard, apps, menus, clipboard (with history & search), notifications, shell, system controls |
| **macpilot-ui-inspector** | Inspect and interact with UI elements via accessibility APIs — find, click, read, and modify controls |
| **macpilot-dialog-handler** | Handle native file dialogs (Open, Save, Print) — navigate folders, select files, dismiss alerts, wait-for & click-primary |
| **macpilot-screenshot-ocr** | Capture screenshots, OCR click (find & click text on screen), screen recording with pause/resume |
| **macpilot-window-manager** | Manage windows — list, move, resize, snap, fullscreen, Spaces, save/restore layouts |

## Prerequisites

1. **MacPilot installed** — Build from source or download from [releases](https://github.com/adhikjoshi/macpilot/releases)
2. **Accessibility permission** — Grant MacPilot.app access in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility
3. **Screen Recording permission** (for screenshot/OCR skills) — Grant in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install MacPilot skills into Claude Code
npx skills add adhikjoshi/macpilot-skills

# Now ask Claude Code to automate macOS:
# "Open Safari and navigate to example.com"
# "Take a screenshot of the Finder window"
# "Snap VS Code to the left half and Terminal to the right"
# "Save this file to my Desktop"
```

## Manual Install

If you prefer not to use `npx skills`, copy any `SKILL.md` file to your agent's skills directory:

```bash
# Claude Code (project scope)
mkdir -p .claude/skills/macpilot-automation
cp skills/macpilot-automation/SKILL.md .claude/skills/macpilot-automation/

# Claude Code (global scope)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/macpilot-automation
cp skills/macpilot-automation/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/macpilot-automation/
```

Content & Documentation

web-skills-protocol

from openclaw/skills

Auto-discover and use Web Skills Protocol (WSP) skills when interacting with websites. Use this skill whenever the user asks you to interact with, use, or perform actions on a website or web service — such as searching a site, placing an order, deploying an app, or calling a web API. Before scraping HTML or guessing at interfaces, check if the site publishes a skills.txt or agents.txt file that teaches you how to use it properly. If a website has complex elements (e.g., heavy JavaScript, interactive UIs), activating this skill can also help you understand the site's purpose and capabilities. Do NOT use for local file operations or non-web tasks.
