This is ThinkInAIXYZ's DeepChat skill (NOT the computer-use MCP): its CUA tools (list_apps/launch_app/get_window_state/click/zoom) are injected by the DeepChat app runtime plus its bundled helper (macOS 'DeepChat Computer Use.app', OS Accessibility/Screen-Recording grants), so a plain skill-file install copies only markdown and nothing in it is executable outside DeepChat. Verbatim clone+cp worked and the strict-YAML frontmatter plus all four linked docs are present. In the A/B, the skill faithfully reproduced DeepChat's specific snapshot/act/re-snapshot loop, but the base arm produced an equally correct plan using the real desktop-automation tools actually available in this harness, so the skill's tool-set knowledge added no materially more executable plan here.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 3/5
- Output vs. baseline 5/10
- Docs & honesty 3/5

- What is the Computer Use (DeepChat) SkillProof Score?
- 6.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 3/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 3/5.
- How do I install Computer Use (DeepChat)?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Computer Use (DeepChat) with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
