What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the need for manual, repetitive GUI interactions when automating tasks on desktop or web applications that have no public API, CLI, or scriptable interface, saving hours of tedious clicking and typing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Code-first automation: Prefers shell commands, scripts, and APIs for reliability before falling back to GUI control.
- Accessibility tree-driven control: Uses Windows UI Automation for desktop apps and web DOM for browsers to interact with elements via text, no vision or GUI-trained model required for most use cases.
- Vision fallback for custom UIs: Supports pixel-based grounding for custom-drawn interfaces with no accessibility tree, with built-in safety guardrails and audit trails.
- Shared autonomy: Lets users take over control at any time, with automatic resume and re-perception of the screen state when the user is idle again.
- Use Case: Automate filling out a legacy internal desktop form that has no API, or navigate a complex web app with dynamic GUI elements that can't be accessed via standard selectors.
Quick Start
