Install

npx skills add wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP --skill terminal

Runs the open skills CLI and installs the skill for your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor …). Alternatively copy the skill folder into .claude/skills/ or upload it in Claude.ai under Settings → Skills.

As a Claude Code plugin

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official /plugin install desktop-commander@desktop-commander

This skill is part of the plugin “desktop-commander”. In Claude Code the plugin installs it together with the plugin’s other skills, commands and hooks.

What does the terminal skill do?

Use Desktop Commander for terminal and command-line work, especially anything that needs a shell whose state persists across turns: Python/Node REPLs, database shells, dev servers and other long-running processes, SSH into remote machines, and Windows PowerShell. Also handles everyday terminal tasks — navigating folders, choosing the right command for the user's shell (PowerShell, cmd, bash, zsh), running Docker/curl/cloud-CLI commands, inspecting processes and ports, and saving recurring workflows as scripts — even when the user doesn't say "Desktop Commander" or "terminal." Reach for it on pasted errors like "command not found", "permission denied", "EADDRINUSE", "address already in use", "npm ERR!", "ModuleNotFoundError", or "ENOENT", and on intents like "what's using port 3000", "kill that process", "ssh into my server", or "why won't my dev server start". Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Never run destructive commands without explicit confirmation.

ai-tools-setup
wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP

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.

computer-health-check
wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP

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.

desktop-commander-overview
wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP

Use for Desktop Commander MCP capabilities — persistent shells and REPLs, long-running processes, filesystem beyond the workspace, structured files (.xlsx, .docx, .pdf, images) and large local data files such as CSVs, ripgrep search at scale, SSH, or cross-turn state.

knowledge-base
wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP

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".

obsidian-vault
wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP

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.
