FAQPage Schema
How do I automate macOS apps like Messages and Calendar with AppleScript?▼

You can automate macOS apps like Messages and Calendar by executing AppleScript commands through Bash with osascript. This approach enables reliable, repeatable workflows for system actions with minimal manual intervention across Notes, Reminders, and Safari.

What is the best way to control Chrome and capture screenshots deterministically?▼

Deterministic Chrome control and screenshot capture is achieved using MCP CDP tools. This mode provides reliable browser automation for navigation, click and type actions, data extraction, and taking screenshots for visual validation.

Do I need macOS to run AppleScript automation and Chrome CDP scripts?▼

Yes, macOS is required because the automation relies on AppleScript executed via osascript. You also need MCP CDP tooling installed, and scripts are managed under the specific skills directory and run via the Skills CLI.

Can I capture the active display screen for visual validation on macOS?▼

Yes, active display screen capture is supported through a bundled Swift utility called capture-active-screen.swift. This allows you to quickly capture the current display for immediate visual validation of your automated workflows.

What macOS system actions can I automate beyond basic browser control?▼

Beyond Chrome browser control, you can automate system actions across native macOS applications including Contacts, Notes, Reminders, Calendar events, Messages, and Safari, providing comprehensive local environment automation.

How does AppleScript compare to other macOS automation approaches?▼

AppleScript via osascript provides deep native integration with macOS applications like Contacts and Calendar, offering reliable system-level control that general browser automation tools cannot access directly.
