macos-control-skill

Triggered when the user asks the AI to directly operate their macOS desktop: open an app, click a button, fill a form inside a native window, read what's currently on screen, automate a local GUI flow. Typical phrasing: "in Finder, please…", "click X in the Y app", "what's on my screen right now". **Available only in OpenLoaf Desktop (macOS)**; other platforms return a desktop-only error — fall back to `BrowserAct` or hand the task back to the user. **Not for**: in-page web interaction (→ `browser-ops-skill`), local file I/O (→ `Read`/`Edit`/`Write`).

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, highly actionable guide with concrete tool-call examples, explicit validation checkpoints, and error-recovery loops. Its main weakness is mild verbosity in the framing prose and a monolithic single-file layout that could benefit from offloading detail to reference files.

Suggestions

Trim the 'Core mindset' narrative to the operational rule (Survey first, especially on self-drawn UIs) and drop the human-analogy framing to save tokens.

Move the full Survey response sample and/or the six worked flows into a one-level-deep reference file (e.g. FLOWS.md), keeping SKILL.md as a tighter overview with signaled pointers.

The Rules and Error diagnosis sections overlap; consolidate into a single concise reference to reduce redundancy.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient with concrete tool calls and a compact inventory table, but the 'Core mindset' prose ('When a human opens an unfamiliar app they look around first…') is mild over-explanation that could be trimmed without losing the operational guidance.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready tool invocations throughout (e.g. 'MacosAct { type: "intent", app: "WeChat", intent: "open_moments" }') with six worked flows (A–F) covering the common cases and exact error codes.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Clear three-phase sequence (Survey → Plan → Act+Verify) with explicit validation (Observe after every MacosAct) and feedback loops in the Error diagnosis section (WINDOW_CHROME_BLOCKED fallbacks, re-observe on no effect), satisfying the validation requirement for risky GUI operations.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clearly headed sections that make navigation easy, but it is a single ~180-line file with no external reference files; the detailed survey-response sample and six worked flows are inlined rather than split into one-level-deep references.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, third-person description that concretely states capabilities, gives natural trigger phrasings, and explicitly delimits scope and platform availability. It avoids vague fluff and clearly distinguishes itself from related skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'open an app, click a button, fill a form inside a native window, read what's currently on screen, automate a local GUI flow' — giving comprehensive, non-abstract coverage of the skill's capabilities.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (operate the macOS desktop with the listed actions) and 'when' ('Triggered when the user asks…' plus concrete typical phrasings), and adds platform/availability gating.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Provides natural user phrasings verbatim — 'in Finder, please…', 'click X in the Y app', 'what's on my screen right now' — alongside action verbs users actually say, covering synonyms and common variations.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (native macOS desktop GUI) with explicit 'Not for' exclusions routing to browser-ops-skill and Read/Edit/Write, minimizing overlap with adjacent skills.
