TuriX-CUA Skill

This skill enables OpenClaw to control macOS desktop visually using the TuriX Computer Use Agent (CUA). TuriX uses a multi-model architecture (Brain, Actor, Planner, Memory) to understand tasks, plan steps, and execute precise UI actions.

📋 When to Use

Use TuriX-CUA when:

• Desktop GUI automation: "Open Spotify and play my liked songs"
• Apps without CLI/API: Navigate applications that lack command-line interfaces
• Multi-step visual workflows: "Find the latest invoice in my email and upload it to the company portal"
• Complex UI interactions: Tasks requiring visual understanding and planning
• Cross-app workflows: "Search iPhone price, create Pages document, and send to contact"

Do NOT use for:

• Tasks that can be done via CLI (use exec instead)
• Simple file operations (use file tools)
• Web scraping (use web_fetch or browser tools)
• Tasks requiring system-level permissions without warning

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

1. Install TuriX-CUA: git clone https://github.com/TurixAI/TuriX-CUA.git cd TuriX-CUA conda create -n turix_env python=3.12 conda activate turix_env pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Grant macOS Permissions:

- Accessibility: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → Add Terminal/VSCode - Safari Automation: Safari → Settings → Advanced → Show features for web developers - Develop menu → Allow Remote Automation - Develop menu → Allow JavaScript from Apple Events

1. Configure API in examples/config.json: {"brain_llm": {"provider": "turix", "model_name": "turix-brain-model", "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "base_url": "https://llm.turixapi.io/v1"}, "actor_llm": {"provider": "turix", "model_name": "turix-actor-model", "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "base_url": "https://llm.turixapi.io/v1"}, "memory_llm": {"provider": "turix", "model_name": "turix-memory-model", "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "base_url": "https://llm.turixapi.io/v1"}, "planner_llm": {"provider": "turix", "model_name": "turix-planner-model", "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "base_url": "https://llm.turixapi.io/v1"}} Or use Ollama (local models): {"brain_llm": {"provider": "ollama", "model_name": "llama3.2-vision", "base_url": "http://localhost:11434"} //... same for actor, memory, planner}

Basic Usage

# Run a simple task
skills/turix-cua/scripts/run_turix.sh "Open Chrome and go to github.com"

# Run with planning enabled (for complex tasks)
skills/turix-cua/scripts/run_turix.sh "Search AI news and create summary" --use-plan

# Resume an interrupted task
skills/turix-cua/scripts/run_turix.sh --resume my-task-001

⚙️ Configuration Options

📋 Task Examples

✅ Good Tasks

Simple:

• "Open Safari, go to google.com, search for 'TuriX AI', click first result"
• "Open System Settings, click on Dark Mode, return to System Settings"
• "Open Finder, navigate to Documents, create folder 'Project X'"

Complex (use --use-plan):

• "Search iPhone 17 price on Apple store, create Pages document with findings, send to contact John"
• "Open Discord, find message with Excel file from boss, download it, create chart in Numbers, insert to PowerPoint"
• "Search AI news on 36kr and Huxiu, summarize top 5 stories, save to Word document"

❌ Avoid

• Vague: "Help me" or "Fix this"
• Impossible: "Delete all files"
• Without context: "Do it" (unclear what "it" is)
• System-level: "Install software" (requires permissions)

🔧 Script Usage

run_turix.sh

# Basic usage
./run_turix.sh "Your task description"

# With options
./run_turix.sh "Task" --use-plan --use-skills --background

# Resume task
./run_turix.sh --resume my-task-001

# Set custom agent ID
./run_turix.sh "Task" --agent-id custom-id-123

Options:

• --use-plan: Enable planning (for complex multi-step tasks)
• --use-skills: Enable skill selection
• --background: Run in background (non-blocking)
• --agent-id <id>: Set custom agent ID for resumption
• --resume: Resume interrupted task

How It Works

The script:

1. Updates examples/config.json with task and options
2. Sets PATH correctly (includes /usr/sbin for screencapture)
3. Activates conda environment
4. Runs TuriX agent
5. Handles UTF-8/Chinese text correctly via Python

📊 Monitoring & Debugging

Check Status

# Check if TuriX is running
ps aux | grep "python.*main.py" | grep -v grep

# View logs
tail -f TuriX-CUA/.turix_tmp/logging.log

# List step files
ls -lt TuriX-CUA/examples/.turix_tmp/brain_llm_interactions.log_brain_*.txt

Log Files

Key Log Markers

• 📍 Step N - New step started
• ✅ Eval: Success/Failed - Step evaluation
• 🎯 Goal to achieve this step - Current goal
• 🛠️ Action - Executed action
• ✅ Task completed successfully - Task done

Force Stop

Hotkey: Cmd+Shift+2 (in the running terminal)

Command:

pkill -f "python examples/main.py"

🧩 Skills System

# Skill Instructions

## Guidelines
- Step 1: Do this first
- Step 2: Then do that
- Step 3: Verify result

## Safety
- Confirm before important actions

Enable Skills

In examples/config.json:

{
  "agent": {
    "use_plan": true,
    "use_skills": true,
    "skills_dir": "skills",
    "skills_max_chars": 4000
  }
}

📝 Best Practices

1. Workflow Design

Recommended pattern:

1. Use web_fetch to gather information
2. Use Python to create documents (faster, more reliable)
3. Use TuriX only for GUI tasks it excels at (sending files, app navigation)

Example:

# 1. Fetch news (OpenClaw)
news = web_fetch("https://36kr.com")

# 2. Create Word doc (OpenClaw)
doc = Document()
doc.add_heading('AI News')
doc.save('news.docx')

# 3. Send via Messages (TuriX)
run_turix.sh "Open Messages, send news.docx to contact John"

2. Task Instructions

Be specific:

• ✅ "Open Safari, go to google.com, search 'AI news'"
• ❌ "Search the web"

Break down complex tasks:

• ✅ "Open Finder, go to Documents, create folder 'Projects'"
• ❌ "Organize my files"

Don't mention coordinates:

• ✅ "Click the Settings button"
• ❌ "Click at x=100, y=200"

3. Performance Tips

• First run: 2-5 minutes to load AI models
• Subsequent runs: Much faster (models cached)
• Complex tasks: Use --use-plan for better success rate
• Long tasks: Use --background and monitor logs

4. Chinese Text Support

The script handles UTF-8 correctly:

• Uses Python for config updates (not shell interpolation)
• Reads/writes with encoding='utf-8'
• Uses ensure_ascii=False in JSON

⚠️ Troubleshooting

🔐 Security Notes

• TuriX runs locally - no data sent externally (unless using cloud APIs)
• Grant minimal permissions needed
• Review tasks before execution
• Use --background for long-running tasks with monitoring
