Computer Use

Claude Code can control the browser and interact with the system for visual and UI automation tasks.

Browser Automation

Use the Browser tool for:

• Web scraping (pages that need JS rendering)
• Form filling and submission
• UI testing and visual verification
• Screenshot capture for debugging
• Multi-step web workflows

Best Practices

1. Prefer scrape/MCP over browser for simple API-based data fetching.
2. Use snapshots (accessibility tree) over screenshots for element interaction.
3. Use screenshots only when visual information is needed (layout, images, CSS).
4. Minimize browser sessions — reuse tabs instead of opening new ones.

Screenshots

Use screenshots when:

• Debugging UI layout issues
• Verifying visual output
• Reading rendered content that isn't in the DOM

System Automation

• Use Bash for system-level automation.
• Use Browser for web-based automation.
• Use MCP servers for third-party API integration.

Rules

• Do not use browser automation for authenticated sessions without explicit approval.
• Do not submit sensitive credentials into web forms via automation.
• Prefer read-only scraping over interactive actions when possible.
• Close browser sessions when done to free resources.
• Document any automated browser workflow for reproducibility.

Experience Log

This skill learns from experience. Mechanism:

• Read .claude/experience/computer-use.md at skill start to benefit from past lessons.

• Write to .claude/experience/computer-use.md after use if you learned something new.

• Format: YYYY-MM-DD: <lesson> — one line per entry.

• Evolve: If the same issue repeats 3+ times, update this SKILL.md itself.

This skill improves over time. After each use, append lessons learned.
