| description | GUI automation via visual detection. Clicking, typing, reading content, navigating menus, filling forms — all through screenshot → detect → act workflow. Supports macOS and Linux. |
GUI Agent
STEP 0: Activate Platform (MANDATORY FIRST STEP)
Before any GUI operation, run:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/activate.py
This detects your OS, sets up the correct action commands, and outputs platform context.
After running, {baseDir}/actions/_actions.yaml contains your platform's commands.
Workflow
OBSERVE → LEARN → ACT → VERIFY → SAVE
-
OBSERVE — Take screenshot → run OCR + detector → understand current state
→ read {baseDir}/skills/gui-observe/SKILL.md
-
LEARN — First time with an app? Save components to memory
→ read {baseDir}/skills/gui-learn/SKILL.md
→ learn_from_screenshot() auto-outputs app tips if available
-
ACT — Pick target → execute using _actions.yaml commands → verify
→ read {baseDir}/skills/gui-act/SKILL.md
→ read {baseDir}/actions/_actions.yaml for available commands
-
VERIFY — Screenshot again → confirm action succeeded
-
SAVE — Record state transitions to memory
→ read {baseDir}/skills/gui-memory/SKILL.md for memory structure
Core Rules
- Coordinates from detection only — OCR or GPA-GUI-Detector, NEVER from guessing
- Look before you act — every action must be justified by what you observed
- image tool = understanding only — use it to decide WHAT to click, get WHERE from OCR/detector
