Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Automate and control your Linux desktop using command-line tools. Capture screenshots, control mouse/keyboard, and manage windows.

Always check the active window before typing Use sleep commands between actions for reliability Take screenshots to verify state changes Test commands one by one before building complex workflows Use window list to find specific window IDs for targeting
"Command not found" errors: sudo apt-get install scrot xdotool xclip x11-utils x11-apps Permission denied: Ensure you're running in a graphical session (X11 or Wayland) Some actions require focus on the target window Mouse doesn't move: Check if another application is grabbing the mouse Try moving the mouse manually to see if it's responsive
This skill can control your desktop - use with caution Don't automate sensitive actions without verification Always review automation scripts before running
