Add this skill
Claude
Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills/ (all projects) or .claude/skills/ (one project):
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/stablyai/orca.git
cp -r orca/skills/computer-use ~/.claude/skills/computer-use # personal, or .claude/skills in a projectIn the Claude apps, zip the computer-use folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).
ChatGPT / Codex
Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/stablyai/orca.git
cp -r orca/skills/computer-use .agents/skills/computer-use # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projectsStandalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.
Cursor
Cursor loads skills from .cursor/skills/ (or ~/.cursor/skills/) and also reads .claude/skills/:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/stablyai/orca.git
cp -r orca/skills/computer-use .cursor/skills/computer-use # project; ~/.cursor/skills for all projectsSource (checked Oct 7, 2026): code.claude.com/docs/en/skills (opens in a new tab), support.claude.com/en/articles/12512180-using-skills-in-claude (opens in a new tab), learn.chatgpt.com/docs/build-skills (opens in a new tab), cursor.com/docs/context/skills (opens in a new tab)
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.
- use for Orca's embedded browser (orca-cli).
