AI SummaryWinUse enables AI assistants to remotely control Windows desktops through screenshots, mouse/keyboard input, and window management via HTTP. Developers automating Windows workflows, testing Windows applications, or performing remote computer tasks will find this booster essential.
Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "winuse" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into the correct directory (2 files) mkdir -p .claude/skills/winuse && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/winuse/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diegosouzapw/awesome-omni-skill/main/skills/development/winuse/SKILL.md" && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/winuse/metadata.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diegosouzapw/awesome-omni-skill/main/skills/development/winuse/metadata.json" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Control a Windows desktop remotely — screenshots, mouse, keyboard, window management. Use when the user asks to interact with a Windows machine, automate Windows apps, or do computer-use on Windows. Requires WinUse server running on the target Windows host.
Prerequisites
• WinUse server running on the target Windows machine (tray app + FastAPI) • Network access from this machine to the Windows host (LAN or localhost if WSL) • No API key needed (v1)
WinUse — Windows Desktop Automation
Control a Windows machine via its REST API: take screenshots, move/click mouse, type text, manage windows. The Windows equivalent of xdotool + scrot, but over HTTP.
Configuration
Set the Windows host (default http://127.0.0.1:8080): `bash export WINUSE_HOST="http://<windows-ip>:8080" ` Store the host in TOOLS.md so future sessions know: `markdown
WinUse
• Windows host: http://192.168.1.100:8080 `
