Computer Use
SkillWeb & browsingLets your agent run multiple coding agents in parallel from a development environment.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.
Then ask your AI: use the Computer Use skill
About this capability
OS/window-level inspection and input in visible local app windows through `orca computer`: native apps, external browser windows (Chrome, Edge, Safari), and app webviews. Not for Orca's embedded browser (use `orca-cli`) or page-only automation (use Playwright or CDP).
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by stablyai/orca in skills/computer-use/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
This discovery stub loads the version-matched guide from the Orca executable used for this session.
Resolve the CLI for this session
Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:
- If the
ORCA_CLI_COMMANDenvironment variable is set, use its value. Orca exports this for managed WSL sessions. - Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes
ORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT, useorca-dev. - Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use
orca-ide. Never run bareorcathere — outside Orca's terminals it normally resolves to the GNOME Orca screen reader (/usr/bin/orca) and starts speech on the user's machine. - Otherwise, use
orca.
Below, ORCA is a placeholder for the executable you resolved. Substitute it before
running anything; do not create a shell variable or run ORCA literally. This works the
same way in POSIX shells, PowerShell, and cmd.exe.
If the selected executable cannot run, report its exact error and stop. Do not fall through to another executable, which could silently target a different Orca build.
Load the version-matched guide before running Orca commands
ORCA skills get computer-use
Prefer --json. Use the selected executable's --help for commands or flags the guide does
not cover. If a command reports that Orca is not running, start it with ORCA open --json
and retry. If skills get is unknown, explain that updating Orca restores the guide; use
--help for read-only discovery and do not guess unsupported commands.
