Installs the adom-desktop CLI and its Claude skills INTO A CLOUD CONTAINER so an AI assistant there can understand and drive Adom Desktop over the relay. This is the container side, NOT the app itself. The Adom Desktop app is the signed Windows installer under Download below: run THAT on the PC you want the AI to control. Rule of thumb: pkg install here (in your Linux container), Download there (on your Windows PC). Once installed, the AI can drive file transfer, screenshots, notifications, KiCa

Adom Desktop — Verb Reference

This is the map of every verb a caller can invoke against Adom Desktop (AD). Callers are cloud AIs (via the relay), Hydrogen Desktop and other sibling apps (via the loopback direct API), bridges (delegating back into AD), and humans at the CLI.

This file is the map, not the spec. The authoritative per-verb argument list and exact return shape live in adom-desktop help <verb> and in each verb's own _hint (which AD returns on bad/missing args, echoing the arg schema). GET /commands on the direct API and adom-desktop help are the live discovery surfaces — this document is generated from the CLI help-map (cli/src/commands.rs) and can lag a release.

How to invoke

There are three transports; all three dispatch through the same code (commands::handle_command) and return the same JSON (same success/ok/error keys, same _hint fields).

Transport	Who uses it	Shape
CLI	Humans; cloud AIs on a Docker container	`adom-desktop <verb> '<json args>'` — e.g. `adom-desktop desktop_screenshot_screen`, `adom-desktop kicad_open_board '{"filePath":"C:/x.kicad_pcb"}'`
Direct API (loopback)	HD + sibling Tauri apps on the same box	`POST http://127.0.0.1:47200/command` with `{command, args, target?}` — loopback-only, can't be reached off-box
Relay (WebSocket)	Cloud AIs reaching a Windows laptop cross-machine	The CLI's `desktop_command` path over `wss://…/proxy/8765/`

The `{app, command, args}` envelope

Every dispatch carries an optional app namespace, a command (the verb), and args.

app is OPTIONAL as of v1.9.84 — it's inferred from the command: kicad_*→kicad, fusion_*→fusion360, browser_*→browser, hd_*→hd, aps_*→aps, any installed bridge's prefix→dynamic, otherwise desktop. Pass app explicitly only to override the inference.
Desktop verbs: the desktop_ prefix is optional (desktop_taskbar == taskbar).
Bundled-bridge verbs carry their prefix on the CLI (kicad_*, fusion_*, browser_*). Internally the direct API strips kicad/fusion prefixes but keeps browser's — the CLI verb name is what you use.
Third-party bridge verbs route via {app:"dynamic", command:"<full verb>"} — see bridge_list for what's installed.

Multi-AD targeting (`--target`)

One relay can hold several ADs (a laptop + an Azure VM …). Address one with the global flag --target <name> (case-insensitive; matches the AD's clientName, else hostname): adom-desktop --target azurevm desktop_screenshot_screen. --target all fans out to every connected AD and returns {broadcast:true, results:{<name>:<result>}, summary}. ADOM_TARGET=<name> sets a default (the flag wins). If multiple ADs are connected and you don't pass --target, the call fails with error:"ambiguous_target" + the connected names (it never guesses). Run adom-desktop targets to list names. On the direct API, target is a body field, and notify_user/targets/ping are reachable as top-level verbs (v1.9.84). X-Adom-Bridge-Token on a direct-API call is attribution only (badges the call "bridge" in the Activity Log) — never an approval gate.

Approval gating (relay callers only)

Verbs that execute an arbitrary exe / write / delete / drive input / touch the registry are gated for RELAY (cloud-AI) callers — allowed only with a human "auto-approve shell" grant. HD and other loopback/local callers are trusted by transport and never gated. The Tier-2 gated set: shell_execute, run_script, the wsl_* exec verbs, launch_process, write_file, delete_file, registry_set, registry_delete, process_kill, and the SendInput/UIA action verbs (desktop_click, desktop_type, desktop_ui_* action verbs, …). Read verbs (list_dir, read_file, registry_get, process_list, net_stats, desktop_ui_tree, …) stay ungated.

Connectivity & status

Verb	What it does	Key args
`ping`	Round-trip connectivity test (5s). Run this first to verify the desktop link.	`message` (optional, echoed)

`targets`	List the ADs connected to this relay so you can address one by `--target`.	—
`health`	Is the relay server's HTTP API reachable.	—

`setup_desktop`	Generate installer URL + server-config JSON for first-time desktop setup.	—

Connection & servers

Verb	What it does	Key args

`direct_api`	Informational (not a verb) — describes the loopback `http://127.0.0.1:47200` HTTP listener.	—

AD window & lifecycle

Verb	What it does	Key args
`desktop_window_show`	Show + focus AD's main window (HD's tray "Open Adom Desktop").	—

UI Automation (background — no focus steal)

UIA drives a window's controls PROGRAMMATICALLY (Invoke / SetValue / Toggle) with no foreground, no focus steal, no cursor move. Chromium/Edge expose their a11y tree, so chrome:///edge:// buttons are reachable by accessible name. Every verb returns a foreground block ({predicted, observed (measured), raised, pathTaken, reason}) so you know before+after whether a call stole the screen. Read verbs are ungated; action verbs are gated (they fall back to a foregrounding SendInput click only when a control exposes no pattern). Shared selector: {hwnd|window} + {name|contains|automationId|role|nth} + scope:"window"|"popups"|"subtree:<automationId>".

`desktop_ui_grid_get`	READ: GridPattern dims + a cell.	selector, `row`, `col`
`desktop_ui_click`	Invoke a control by accessible name (background).	`window`/`hwnd`, `name`/`contains`, `role`, `scope`

`desktop_ui_selftest`	Write the capability table; with `{confirm:true, window}` empirically measures foreground against a throwaway control.	`confirm`, `window`/`hwnd`
`desktop_ui_watch`	Subscribe to a UIA event stream (focus / window-opened / invoke / …), get a `watchId`. React instead of poll.	`event`*, `window`/`hwnd`, `properties`
`desktop_ui_events`	DRAIN buffered UIA events past `sinceSeq` (poll cursor); lists active watches.	`sinceSeq`, `watchId`, `max`
`desktop_ui_unwatch`	Stop one watch or all.	`watchId`*

Generated from cli/src/commands.rs (list_commands()) and src-tauri/src/screenshot.rs (DESKTOP_COMMANDS). For the authoritative arg schema + return shape of any verb, run adom-desktop help <verb> or read the _hint AD returns when you call it with bad args. GET http://127.0.0.1:47200/commands lists the machine-readable surface (desktop + bridge verbs) live.

# Adom Desktop — Verb Reference

This is the map of every verb a caller can invoke against Adom Desktop (AD). Callers are cloud AIs (via the relay), Hydrogen Desktop and other sibling apps (via the loopback direct API), bridges (delegating back into AD), and humans at the CLI.

> **This file is the map, not the spec.** The authoritative per-verb argument list and exact return shape live in `adom-desktop help <verb>` and in each verb's own `_hint` (which AD returns on bad/missing args, echoing the arg schema). `GET /commands` on the direct API and `adom-desktop help` are the *live* discovery surfaces — this document is generated from the CLI help-map (`cli/src/commands.rs`) and can lag a release.

## How to invoke

There are three transports; all three dispatch through the same code (`commands::handle_command`) and return the same JSON (same `success`/`ok`/`error` keys, same `_hint` fields).

| Transport | Who uses it | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| **CLI** | Humans; cloud AIs on a Docker container | `adom-desktop <verb> '<json args>'` — e.g. `adom-desktop desktop_screenshot_screen`, `adom-desktop kicad_open_board '{"filePath":"C:/x.kicad_pcb"}'` |
| **Direct API** (loopback) | HD + sibling Tauri apps on the same box | `POST http://127.0.0.1:47200/command` with `{command, args, target?}` — loopback-only, can't be reached off-box |
| **Relay** (WebSocket) | Cloud AIs reaching a Windows laptop cross-machine | The CLI's `desktop_command` path over `wss://…/proxy/8765/` |

### The `{app, command, args}` envelope

Every dispatch carries an optional `app` namespace, a `command` (the verb), and `args`.

- **`app` is OPTIONAL as of v1.9.84** — it's inferred from the command: `kicad_*`→`kicad`, `fusion_*`→`fusion360`, `browser_*`→`browser`, `hd_*`→`hd`, `aps_*`→`aps`, any installed bridge's prefix→`dynamic`, otherwise `desktop`. Pass `app` explicitly only to override the inference.
- **Desktop verbs**: the `desktop_` prefix is optional (`desktop_taskbar` == `taskbar`).
- **Bundled-bridge verbs** carry their prefix on the CLI (`kicad_*`, `fusion_*`, `browser_*`). Internally the direct API strips kicad/fusion prefixes but keeps browser's — the CLI verb name is what you use.
- **Third-party bridge verbs** route via `{app:"dynamic", command:"<full verb>"}` — see `bridge_list` for what's installed.

### Multi-AD targeting (`--target`)

One relay can hold several ADs (a laptop + an Azure VM …). Address one with the global flag **`--target <name>`** (case-insensitive; matches the AD's `clientName`, else hostname): `adom-desktop --target azurevm desktop_screenshot_screen`. `--target all` fans out to every connected AD and returns `{broadcast:true, results:{<name>:<result>}, summary}`. `ADOM_TARGET=<name>` sets a default (the flag wins). If **multiple** ADs are connected and you don't pass `--target`, the call fails with `error:"ambiguous_target"` + the connected names (it never guesses). Run `adom-desktop targets` to list names. On the direct API, `target` is a body field, and `notify_user`/`targets`/`ping` are reachable as top-level verbs (v1.9.84). `X-Adom-Bridge-Token` on a direct-API call is **attribution only** (badges the call "bridge" in the Activity Log) — never an approval gate.

### Approval gating (relay callers only)

Verbs that execute an arbitrary exe / write / delete / drive input / touch the registry are **gated for RELAY (cloud-AI) callers** — allowed only with a human "auto-approve shell" grant. HD and other loopback/local callers are trusted by transport and never gated. The Tier-2 gated set: `shell_execute`, `run_script`, the `wsl_*` exec verbs, `launch_process`, `write_file`, `delete_file`, `registry_set`, `registry_delete`, `process_kill`, and the SendInput/UIA action verbs (`desktop_click`, `desktop_type`, `desktop_ui_*` action verbs, …). Read verbs (`list_dir`, `read_file`, `registry_get`, `process_list`, `net_stats`, `desktop_ui_tree`, …) stay ungated.

### Synthetic OS input (SendInput — foreground; gated)

These are REAL OS input — they land on `chrome://` pages + native dialogs that browser CDP can't reach. Foreground (AD focuses the target first). Coords are physical screen pixels, or image-space via `space:"image"` + `shotId` from a screenshot's coordMap.

| Verb | What it does | Key args |
|---|---|---|
| `desktop_click` | Real OS left-click. | `x`*, `y`*, `space`, `shotId`, `button`, `double`, `window`/`hwnd`, `cursor`, `label` |

| `desktop_clipboard_get` | Read the clipboard text in the background. | — |

## UI Automation (background — no focus steal)

UIA drives a window's controls PROGRAMMATICALLY (Invoke / SetValue / Toggle) with **no foreground, no focus steal, no cursor move**. Chromium/Edge expose their a11y tree, so `chrome://`/`edge://` buttons are reachable by accessible name. Every verb returns a `foreground` block (`{predicted, observed (measured), raised, pathTaken, reason}`) so you know before+after whether a call stole the screen. Read verbs are ungated; action verbs are gated (they fall back to a foregrounding SendInput click only when a control exposes no pattern). Shared selector: `{hwnd|window}` + `{name|contains|automationId|role|nth}` + `scope:"window"|"popups"|"subtree:<automationId>"`.

| Verb | What it does | Key args |
|---|---|---|
| `desktop_ui_tree` | READ: dump the accessibility subtree under a window (the "see the whole controllable surface" verb). | `window`/`hwnd`, `scope`, `maxDepth`, `roleFilter`, `nameContains`, `maxNodes` |

| `desktop_find_control` | READ: find the best single control by name/id/role + report if it's background-actionable + its screen rect. | `window`/`hwnd`, `name`/`contains`/`automationId`, `role`, `scope` |
| `desktop_find_controls` | READ: ALL controls matching the selector (array, with `nth` indices). | `window`/`hwnd`, selector, `scope`, `maxResults` |
| `desktop_ui_text` | READ: text of a document/edit control (TextPattern). | selector, `range` |
| `desktop_ui_get` | READ: a control's value/state — Value, ToggleState, RangeValue, selected, ExpandState. | selector |
| `desktop_ui_grid_get` | READ: GridPattern dims + a cell. | selector, `row`, `col` |
| `desktop_ui_click` | Invoke a control by accessible name (background). | `window`/`hwnd`, `name`/`contains`, `role`, `scope` |
| `desktop_ui_set` | SetValue on a text field by name; optional focus-neutral `submit` (Enter + restore prior foreground). | `window`/`hwnd`, `name`/`contains`, `text`*, `submit`, `noRaise`, `scope` |
| `desktop_ui_toggle` | Toggle a checkbox/switch (TogglePattern), or set to a state. | selector, `state` |
| `desktop_ui_expand` | Expand/collapse a tree node or combobox. | selector, `action` |
