desktop-commander-overview

Set up, connect, validate, and repair Claude Desktop and MCP servers using Desktop Commander — inspecting and fixing mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json, getting MCP servers to connect, and diagnosing local AI tooling. Use when a user wants to install, configure, connect, validate, or fix Claude Desktop, an MCP server, an MCP config file, or a local AI agent/gateway. Trigger on the symptoms that actually bring people in: "Claude can't see my tools", "my MCP server isn't showing up", "tools aren't loading in Claude", "add an MCP server", "my MCP isn't connecting", "fix my Claude Desktop config", "the agent won't respond", "wire up Ollama / LM Studio", "restart Claude Desktop". Also covers local agent gateways like OpenClaw and Hermes.

Run a comprehensive, read-only health check on the user's computer and return a scored chat summary with prioritized, plain-English recommendations and safe cleanup suggestions. Use this whenever the user wants to check their computer's health, speed it up, free up / reclaim disk space, find what's eating CPU / memory / storage, check battery health and wear, audit login & startup items, see pending updates, or asks for a "tune-up", "checkup", "system report", "health check", or "is my Mac/PC/laptop healthy". Trigger even on casual phrasing like "my laptop feels slow", "why is my fan so loud", "my computer is laggy", "running out of space", or "clean up my machine". Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux. This is a Desktop Commander skill: it relies on a real local shell (start_process / interact_with_process) and is strictly read-only by default — it never needs sudo and only performs cleanups the user explicitly approves.

Create and maintain a Markdown knowledge base that any AI agent can read, search, and update. Use when the user wants to start a knowledge base, add or update notes, organize docs/notes for an agent or LLM to consume, build an index of notes, or run a cleanup/maintenance pass on an existing MD knowledge base. Triggers include "knowledge base", "KB", "notes for the agent", "index of notes", "second brain", "docs for AI context", "add a note", "update the KB".

Organize Obsidian vaults with MOCs, wikilinks, frontmatter/properties, dashboards, orphan-note checks, and cleanup workflows. Use ONLY when the user explicitly refers to Obsidian — by naming "Obsidian", an Obsidian "vault", or an Obsidian-specific feature such as wikilinks ("[[ ]]"), the Dataview or Bases plugins, or Obsidian Properties. Within that Obsidian context it covers creating Maps of Content, adding/fixing wikilinks, finding orphan notes, normalizing YAML frontmatter, generating Dataview/Bases dashboards, organizing folders, deduplicating or renaming notes, and preparing the vault for AI use. Do NOT use this skill for generic note-taking, Markdown, or knowledge-base requests that don't mention Obsidian.

About 450 ready-made HyperFrames blocks and components installed as editable source - transitions, overlays, titles, kinetic type, captions, charts, map overlays, 3D, camera moves. Use it before hand-building any named visual (CRT scanlines, glitch, film grain, a chart); also for hyperframes add and catalog.

Pull data from Oracle Fusion ERP / HCM / SCM REST APIs into a Spark DataFrame from an AIDP notebook. Use when the user mentions Fusion ERP, Fusion REST API, FA REST, Cloud ERP, or wants live data from a Fusion pod. HTTP Basic auth only. For volumes >499 rows/page or bulk extracts, route to aidp-fusion-bicc.

Create the medallion architecture on Oracle AI Data Platform - registering an EXTERNAL catalog of source type SNOWFLAKE by default, and generating Spark SQL for schemas, tables and views from an approved Snowflake plan only when the user has explicitly asked for a Standard catalog. This stage copies no data - rows are copied only by the snowmig_02_copy_schema job, when the operator runs it. Use when the user asks to create the medallion structure, soft clone, shallow clone, create the target catalog, or deploy the target schema.

Run an MDX query against an Oracle Essbase 21c cube and materialize the result as a Spark DataFrame in an AIDP notebook. Use when the user mentions Essbase, MDX, Essbase 21c, OLAP cube, or wants to read cube data into Spark. Auth is HTTP Basic.

Read or write IBM Db2 from an AIDP notebook through the AIDP `aidataplatform` Spark format handler. Use when the user mentions DB2, IBM Db2, LUW, or `type=DB2`. Auth is host/port + database name + user/password.

Help the user pick the right connector skill for their data source from an AIDP notebook. Use as a router when the user mentions multiple sources, isn't sure which connector applies, or asks "how do I connect to X from AIDP". Covers 27 data sources — Oracle Autonomous DB family (ALH/ADW/ATP), generic Oracle DB, ExaCS, PeopleSoft, Siebel, Fusion ERP/BICC, EPM Cloud, Essbase, OCI Streaming, Object Storage, Iceberg, plus PostgreSQL, MySQL/HeatWave, Db2, SQL Server, Azure SQL, Hive, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Azure ADLS, AWS S3, Salesforce, NetSuite, generic REST, custom JDBC, Excel.

Provision the migration environment inside AIDP for the prod flow - the workspace (name auto-translated to the simplest safe charset), the migration-assets compute cluster, optional cluster libraries from requirements-aidp.txt, the backup-snowflake-migration/ workspace folder holding the data-migration scripts and the plan artifacts, and the migration jobs (discover, structure, reconcile, plus one copy job per schema of the approved plan, each passing its schema as a task parameter). Use when the user wants to set up AIDP for the migration, upload the migration scripts, create the migration workspace or cluster, or wire the migration jobs. Dry-run by default.

Read or write an Oracle Database (Compute / Base DB / on-prem / Oracle 19c, 21c, 23ai, 26ai non-Autonomous) from an AIDP notebook via the AIDP `aidataplatform` Spark format handler. Use when the user mentions Oracle Database, generic Oracle DB, on-prem Oracle, plain Oracle JDBC, port 1521, non-Autonomous Oracle. Read-write. Auth is host/port + database name + user/password.
