SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a cautious and evidence-driven approach to operating desktop apps and websites, ensuring operational details are explicit for future GUI/web agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Browser Interfaces: Utilizes APIs, CLIs, browser DOM inspection, HTML fetch, Playwright-style locators, CDP, or UI Automation for operation.
  • Screenshot-Based UI Control: Used when no richer interface is available, with confirmations of visible state before clicking.
  • Clipboard Paste: Preferred for long prompts, paths, Chinese text, mixed-language content, and multiline values.
  • Verification Screenshots: Captured after clicks, paste actions, navigation, scrolling, exports, and other meaningful actions.
  • Profile-Level Self-Optimization: Reuses known app/site profiles and summarizes durable lessons after exploring a new app or website.
  • Use Case: Control or inspect a GUI/web app, click buttons, open software, fill forms, scrape/capture HTML, test frontend UI, use Edge/ChatGPT/GitHub/Kaggle/Luogu/Premiere, document UI process screenshots, or summarize reusable lessons from a newly explored app/site where no direct API is enough.

Quick Start

Use the $operate-ui-by-screenshot skill to open a website in Edge, inspect the page, click the visible export button, and save verification screenshots.

Can I use DOM inspection and Playwright locators instead of screenshots for web automation?▼

Yes, web automation supports structured interfaces like DOM inspection, Playwright locators, CDP, and HTML fetch. Screenshot-based control is utilized cautiously when no richer interface is available for operation.

What is the best way to handle long text and multiline values when filling forms during GUI automation?▼

Clipboard paste is preferred for long prompts, paths, Chinese text, mixed-language content, and multiline values during GUI automation. This ensures accurate data entry before capturing verification screenshots.

Does UI automation work with both web browsers and desktop apps like Premiere?▼

Yes, UI automation works with web browsers like Edge and desktop apps like Premiere. It utilizes APIs, CLIs, or UI Automation for operation, capturing verification screenshots after meaningful actions.

How do I document a UI process and capture evidence of visible state changes?▼

Document UI processes by capturing verification screenshots after clicks, paste actions, navigation, scrolling, and exports. This evidence-driven approach ensures operational details are explicit for future web agents.

When should I not use screenshots for website automation?▼

Avoid using screenshots for website automation when richer interfaces like DOM inspection, APIs, or CDP are available. Screenshot-based control is reserved for instances where no direct interface is accessible.
