# c-display

Adjust display brightness and move files to the macOS Trash instead of deleting them with rm. Handy for screen controls and recoverable file cleanup.

## What it 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.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-display -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/c-display/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/c-display/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-display -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/c-display/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-display -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/c-display/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/daxaur/openpaw --path skills/c-display
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/c-display/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-display -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/daxaur/openpaw/tree/HEAD/skills/c-display/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- 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
- Set my display brightness to 80 percent.
- Show the current brightness on all displays.
- Move `file.txt` to the Trash instead of permanently deleting it.

# Display & Safety

## brightness

```bash
# Get current brightness (0.0 to 1.0)
brightness -l

# Set brightness to 80%
brightness 0.8

# Set brightness to minimum
brightness 0.0

# Set brightness to maximum
brightness 1.0
```

## trash (macos-trash)

Safe alternative to `rm` — moves files to macOS Trash:

```bash
# Move file to trash
trash file.txt

# Move multiple files
trash file1.txt file2.txt dir/

# Move with confirmation prompt
trash --interactive file.txt
```

## Guidelines

- Use `trash` instead of `rm` when the user might want to recover files
- Use `rm` only for temporary/generated files where recovery isn't needed
- Brightness value is 0.0 (off) to 1.0 (max)
- `brightness -l` lists all displays when multiple monitors connected
