c-display — Claude Code skill: brightness and trash
Adjust display brightness and move files to the macOS Trash instead of deleting them with rm. Handy for screen controls and recoverable file cleanup.
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-display -a claude-codeWhat c-display does
The skill uses brightness to read or change display brightness. Values run from 0.0 to 1.0, and brightness -l lists displays when more than one monitor is connected. The trash command moves files and folders to the macOS Trash; use --interactive to request confirmation.
Its guidance favors trash when a file might need to be recovered. Reserve rm for temporary or generated files that do not need recovery. One constraint matters: trash here targets the macOS Trash, so it is not a general-purpose recycle bin for other systems.
What it helps with
- set display brightness to a chosen level
- check brightness across connected displays
- move files or folders to the macOS Trash
- ask for confirmation before moving a file to Trash
Example prompts for the agent
- Set my display brightness to 80 percent.
- Show the current brightness on all displays.
- Move
file.txtto the Trash instead of permanently deleting it.
