| description | General-purpose Tinker desktop toolbox (100+ plugins: JSON, hash, base64, regex, files, clipboard, converters, editors, and more). Use whenever the user @-mentions or points at this skill, asks to use Tinker, or needs a desktop utility that a Tinker plugin might already provide — even if they never say "plugin" or "Tinker". Prefer discovering and using an installed plugin over writing a one-off script. Also use for opening plugins, listing plugins, MCP tool calls, UI debug via agent-browser, scaffolding plugins, or controlling the Tinker app from the CLI.

Tinker
Tinker is a desktop toolbox, not a niche Tinker-only API. Installed plugins cover
everyday tasks (encode/decode, hash, edit JSON, regex, files, media, etc.). The
tinker CLI controls the running app over a local IPC socket.
Tinker must be running (or will be auto-launched by the CLI).
When this skill is loaded
Mandatory. If this skill is in context (user @-mentioned it, attached
SKILL.md, said "use tinker", or otherwise pointed you here), do not decide
the request is "unrelated to Tinker" without checking the plugin catalog first:
tinker list --short
tinker list <candidate>…
Only after that search may you conclude no suitable plugin exists. Prefer a
matching plugin (open it, or use MCP tools) over inventing a custom script.
Load the full core guide before other tinker commands:
tinker skills list
tinker skills path core
Specialized skills
tinker skills path mcp
tinker skills path create
tinker skills path debug
Quick orientation
tinker list --short
tinker list json-editor
tinker open json-editor
tinker ps
For MCP tool calls, load the mcp skill first. For a new plugin, load create.
Troubleshooting
If tinker fails (command not found, connection refused, etc.):
- Install Tinker from https://tinker.liriliri.io/
- Open Tinker, tray icon → "安装命令行工具"
- Verify with
tinker ps
