Remote Claws — Remote Desktop Control

Controls a remote machine over MCP/SSE. All 39 tools are provided by the remote-claws MCP server registered in openclaw.json.

When to Use This Skill

Use Remote Claws tools whenever you need to interact with the remote desktop machine — taking screenshots, clicking buttons, typing text, running commands, automating a browser, or transferring files. If the user asks you to do something "on the remote machine" or "on Windows," these are your tools.

Strategy

1. Screenshot first. Before clicking or typing, take a desktop_screenshot to see what's on screen. Use the coordinates from the screenshot to target actions.
2. Prefer browser tools for web tasks. browser_* tools use CSS selectors and are resolution-independent. Only use desktop_* tools for web tasks if the browser tools can't reach something (e.g. browser dialogs, file pickers).
3. Prefer element names over coordinates. desktop_click_element and desktop_get_element_text target UI controls by name — more reliable than coordinate clicking, which breaks when windows move.
4. Exec is async. exec_run starts a command and returns immediately. Use exec_get_output with wait=true if you need to block until it finishes.
5. Re-screenshot after actions. Windows may move, dialogs may appear. Take a fresh screenshot to verify the result before proceeding.
