# adom-desktop — discovery & install

**This skill is a pointer.** Whenever Claude sees any of the triggers above, it surfaces this skill, confirms the user has `adom-desktop` installed, and (if not) installs it from the wiki. All the actual feature docs live in the skills that the install step lays down.

## 1 — Check if it's already installed

```bash
which adom-desktop && adom-desktop --version 2>&1
```

Expected: a path (`/usr/local/bin/adom-desktop`) + a version like `adom-desktop 1.3.25` (or newer). If nothing prints, OR the command isn't found, proceed to **step 2**.

## 2 — Check if the relay is running

If installed but the relay isn't serving, features silently fail.

```bash
adom-desktop status 2>&1
```

Expected: `{"clients": 1, "appName": "Adom Desktop", ...}`. If nothing / connection refused, start the relay:

```bash
adom-desktop serve &
```

Then verify the desktop app is connected (clients ≥ 1).

## 3 — Install from the wiki (if missing or stale)

```bash
adom-wiki page get apps/adom-desktop | jq .page.pub_version
```

That's the current published version. If your local version is lower (or the binary is missing), follow the install prompt on the wiki page:

```bash
adom-wiki page get apps/adom-desktop | jq -r .page.metadata.install.prompt
```

Paste the install prompt into Claude. It downloads the `docker_binary` asset (the Linux Rust CLI), places it at `/usr/local/bin/adom-desktop`, runs `adom-desktop install` which lays down all the associated `~/.claude/skills/adom-desktop/` files (main + pup + kicad-bridge + fusion-bridge), and — on a Windows laptop — points you at the `.exe` installer asset.

## 4 — What you get once installed

The install step deploys several sibling skills that teach Claude how to actually USE the features. After install, these will appear in future skill searches:

| Skill | Covers |
|---|---|
| `adom-desktop` (main) | `ping`, `status`, desktop notifications (`notify`), file transfer (`file_send`), window listing (`desktop_list_windows`), full-screen + per-window screenshots (`desktop_screenshot_screen`, `desktop_screenshot_window`), shell execution on the laptop (`shell_execute`) |
| `pup` | Puppeteer-style real-Chrome automation: `browser_open_window`, `browser_navigate`, `browser_screenshot`, `browser_eval`, `browser_reload`, `browser_errors`, `browser_alert_window`, `browser_focus_window`, multi-session Chrome profiles |
| `kicad-bridge` | Launch KiCad 9, open schematics/boards/symbols/footprints, sym-lib-table / fp-lib-table install, DRC, 3D viewer, window-info + per-window screenshots, `kicad_send_key`, `kicad_click` |
| `fusion-bridge` | Launch Fusion 360, open `.f3d` / `.f3z`, import STEP, export STEP / GLB / `.lbr`, read BOM + parameters, run Fusion API commands, Fusion screenshots, symbol library import/export |

See `apps/adom-desktop` on the wiki for the current authoritative list and install prompt.

## 5 — If the binary is present but stale

```bash
adom-desktop release check   # compare local vs wiki version
```

If local is older: re-run the install prompt from the wiki — it replaces the binary and the sibling skills atomically.

## 6 — Why this skill exists

Desktop integration is its own repo (adom-inc/adom-desktop) with its own release cadence. Putting the feature docs here in gallia means every rebuild of adom-desktop would force a gallia release too. This skill is the stable, always-present entry point; the actual docs move with the binary.
