Description

Automates X11 desktop actions from the command line, including input control and visual scraping workflows. It is useful for testing, scripting old X11 applications, and building simple desktop automation around visible UI state.

This is an automation tool that can send input to the desktop. Scripts can click, type, or inspect the wrong target if focus changes, so they should not handle passwords or destructive actions without safeguards.
