Claude loads it when the task matches- anode-desktop
Automate and test Windows desktop apps in a hidden background session without taking over the user's screen, mouse or keyboard - click, type, read UI Automation/accessibility trees, take screenshots, and run headed app or Playwright browser tests (Win32, WPF, WinForms, Electron), with supporting builds/servers as command jobs. Prefer it over foreground computer use when the work can run in a separate Windows session. Use direct APIs, file tools and headless tests when no desktop is needed; honor an explicitly requested browser or existing foreground session.
