# Send Remote Desktop to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.
```

## Documentation

### Setup

On first use, read setup.md for integration guidelines and help the user with their question.

### When to Use

User needs remote desktop access to another machine. Agent handles protocol selection, connection commands, tunnel setup, and troubleshooting display issues.

### Architecture

Config lives in ~/remote-desktop/. See memory-template.md for structure.

~/remote-desktop/
├── memory.md         # Saved hosts, preferences
└── hosts/            # Per-host connection profiles

### Quick Reference

TopicFileSetup processsetup.mdMemory templatememory-template.mdProtocol detailsprotocols.mdTroubleshootingtroubleshooting.md

### 1. Protocol Selection

Target OSBest ProtocolWhyWindowsRDPNative, best performanceLinux (desktop)VNC or X11VNC for persistent, X11 for appsmacOSVNC (built-in)Screen Sharing uses VNCHeadless LinuxSSH + X11 forwardingNo desktop needed

### 2. Security First

Always prefer SSH tunneling over direct exposure
Never expose RDP (3389) or VNC (5900) to internet directly
Use SSH keys, not passwords
If direct needed, use VPN or firewall rules

### 3. Connection Commands

RDP to Windows:

# xfreerdp (recommended)
xfreerdp /v:HOST /u:USER /p:PASS /size:1920x1080 /dynamic-resolution

# With SSH tunnel first
ssh -L 3389:localhost:3389 user@jumphost
xfreerdp /v:localhost /u:USER

VNC:

# Direct (NOT recommended for internet)
vncviewer HOST:5901

# Via SSH tunnel (recommended)
ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 user@HOST
vncviewer localhost:5901

SSH X11 forwarding:

# Single app
ssh -X user@HOST firefox

# Trusted (faster, less secure)
ssh -Y user@HOST

### 4. Port Defaults

ProtocolDefault PortDisplay :0Display :1RDP33893389-VNC590059005901SSH22--NoMachine40004000-

### 5. Tunnel Everything

For any remote desktop over internet:

# Local port forward
ssh -L LOCAL_PORT:TARGET:REMOTE_PORT user@JUMPHOST

# Example: RDP via jumphost
ssh -L 13389:windows-pc:3389 user@jumphost
xfreerdp /v:localhost:13389 /u:USER

### 6. Clipboard and Files

ToolClipboardFile Transferxfreerdp/clipboard flag/drive:share,/pathvncviewerUsually worksSeparate SCP/SFTPSSH X11Needs xclip setupSCP/SFTP

### 7. Save Working Configs (with consent)

When a connection works, ask "Want me to save this config for next time?" If yes, save to ~/remote-desktop/hosts/:

# hostname.md
host: 192.168.1.50
protocol: rdp
user: admin
tunnel: ssh user@jumphost -L 3389:192.168.1.50:3389
resolution: 1920x1080
notes: Windows 11 dev machine

Never save passwords — only hostnames, users, and connection flags.

### Common Traps

Black screen after VNC connect → Display manager not running or wrong display number. Try :1 instead of :0, or start a VNC server: vncserver :1
RDP disconnects immediately → Check Network Level Authentication (NLA) settings, or add /sec:tls to xfreerdp
X11 forwarding not working → Ensure X11Forwarding yes in server's /etc/ssh/sshd_config and ForwardX11 yes in client config
Slow VNC performance → Use tighter encodings: vncviewer -encoding tight HOST:1
"Connection refused" → Service not running, firewall blocking, or wrong port. Check with ss -tlnp | grep PORT
Clipboard not syncing → xfreerdp needs /clipboard, VNC needs vncconfig running

### Security & Privacy

Data that stays local:

Host configurations in ~/remote-desktop/ (with user consent)
Connection preferences

This skill does NOT:

Store passwords in plain text — use SSH keys or system keyring
Auto-save configs without asking first
Connect to hosts without explicit user command
Make any network requests itself (you run the commands)
Access any memory outside ~/remote-desktop/

Before saving a host profile: Always ask "Want me to save this config for next time?"

### Scope

This skill ONLY:

Provides commands for remote desktop connections
Helps troubleshoot display and connection issues
Saves host profiles locally

This skill NEVER:

Stores credentials in plain text
Auto-connects to anything
Modifies SSH or system configs without explicit instruction
