Desktop automation via native OS accessibility trees using the agent-desktop CLI. Use when an AI agent needs to observe, interact with, or automate desktop applications (click buttons, fill forms, navigate menus, read UI state, toggle checkboxes, scroll, drag, type text, take screenshots, manage windows, use clipboard, manage notifications). Covers 54 commands across observation, interaction, keyboard/mouse, app lifecycle, notifications (macOS), clipboard, wait, and a `skills` command that prints these bundled docs straight from the binary. Triggers on: "click button", "fill form", "open app", "read UI", "automate desktop", "accessibility tree", "snapshot app", "type into field", "navigate menu", "toggle checkbox", "take screenshot", "desktop automation", "agent-desktop", or any desktop GUI interaction task. Supports the macOS Phase 1 adapter, with Windows and Linux planned against the same core contracts.
C-ABI bindings over agent-desktop's PlatformAdapter. Consumers (Python ctypes, Swift, Node ffi-napi, Go cgo, C++, Ruby fiddle) link libagent_desktop_ffi.{dylib,so,dll} and call `ad_*` functions directly instead of spawning the CLI binary per call.
