Covers discovering installed plugins, opening and closing plugin windows, listing running plugins, launching and quitting the Tinker desktop app from the command line. Use when this skill is loaded for any user goal that might map to a Tinker plugin, or when the user asks to open a Tinker plugin, list plugins, check what is running, restart or close a plugin, launch or quit Tinker.

When your agent uses it
Debug Tinker plugins with CDP inspect, app-wide remote debugging, the HTTP remote viewer, and optional agent-browser. Prefer the ui skill (tinker ui) for everyday plugin UI automation. Use this skill when you need open --inspect, launch --remote-debugging-port, launch --http, Chrome DevTools, or an external CDP client.

When your agent uses it
Call Tinker plugin MCP tools from the CLI or wire plugins into MCP clients. Covers listing tool schemas, one-shot tool invocation with tinker call, and stdio MCP servers with tinker mcp. When a plugin has no MCP tools, fall back to the ui skill (tinker ui snapshot/click/fill). Use when the user asks to call a plugin tool, automate a plugin programmatically, integrate a Tinker plugin with Cursor or Claude Code via MCP, use tinker tools, tinker call, or tinker mcp, or work with plugins tagged [mcp].

Automate a running Tinker plugin window with tinker ui (snapshot/click/fill). Prefer this over agent-browser when a plugin has no MCP tools. Use when the user asks to click, fill, or snapshot a plugin UI, or when MCP tools are unavailable.

When your agent uses it
General-purpose Tinker desktop toolbox (100+ plugins: JSON, hash, base64, regex, files, clipboard, converters, editors, and more). Use whenever the user @-mentions or points at this skill, asks to use Tinker, or needs a desktop utility that a Tinker plugin might already provide — even if they never say "plugin" or "Tinker". Prefer discovering and using an installed plugin over writing a one-off script. Also use for opening plugins, listing plugins, MCP tool calls, UI debug via agent-browser, scaffolding plugins, or controlling the Tinker app from the CLI.
