What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the need for manual mouse-and-keyboard operations by letting an agent perceive the desktop visually, decide actions, and verify results by looking at the screen again.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Vision-Language Perception Loop: Captures screenshots, analyzes UI state with a vision-language model, and produces an action plan.
- Computer Use Agent (CUA) Protocol: Executes structured actions (click, type, hotkey, scroll, wait) and validates outcomes using post-action screenshots.
- Self-Correcting Retries: Repeats plan → act → verify cycles until the expected visual state is reached.
- Use Cases: QA automation from screenshots, game/legacy desktop workflows without APIs, and regression checks where the ground truth is visual.
Quick Start
Use the cua-desktop-agent skill to run a desktop workflow that relies on screenshot verification for correctness.
