What is PiKVM and how does this skill use it?

PiKVM is an open-source, Raspberry Pi-based KVM-over-IP solution. This skill uses the PiKVM REST API to send hardware-level commands like key presses and mouse movements from Claude Code.

Can I perform a hard reset with this skill?

Yes, if your PiKVM is connected to the target machine's ATX power header, you can use the power management commands to perform a hard reset, power on, or power off.

Are environment variables required for this skill?

Yes, you must set PIKVM_URL and PIKVM_AUTH (usually in admin:password format) to authenticate with your PiKVM device.

How does the mouse coordinate system work?

The skill uses the screen center as the origin (0,0). For a 1920x1080 resolution, the top-left is (-960, -540) and the bottom-right is (960, 540).

How do I handle multi-key shortcuts like Cmd+Space?

The skill simulates combos by sending sequential 'state=true' events for each key in the shortcut, followed by 'state=false' events in reverse order to release them.

Manages remote computers via the PiKVM REST API to perform mouse, keyboard, and power management actions.

소개

The PiKVM skill allows Claude to interact directly with remote physical hardware through the PiKVM REST API. It provides a comprehensive set of capabilities including capturing real-time screenshots, simulating complex keyboard shortcuts, performing precise mouse movements using a center-origin coordinate system, and executing ATX power commands like hard resets. This skill is ideal for headless server management, remote troubleshooting during BIOS/boot sequences, and automating tasks on machines where traditional software-based remote desktop solutions are unavailable or unresponsive.
