description	Application control — open/launch, close/quit, and switch-to a running app by name. Mock backend. Pure execution.

App Skill

Launch, close, and focus desktop applications. Canonical reflexer case.

Mock / binding-only. Echoes JSON. Real backend: gtk-launch/xdg-open (open), wmctrl/process signal (close), wmctrl -a (switch/focus).

Commands (via bash)

CLI: python3 agents/skills/app/app.py <command> (aliased app).

app open --name "<application>" app close --name "<application>" app switch --name "<application>"

Output format

One JSON line: {"ok":bool,"data":{...},"error":null|{...},"meta":{"mock":true}}. Exit 0/2.

Cross-skill collision (why this skill is in the benchmark)

app open --name "<app>" collides with browser open --url "<url>" ("open X") — the app name vs URL object discriminates. app switch also collides with browser tab-switch (window vs tab).
