What it does
Drive any UI surface like a real user - a web app, a Chromium-backed desktop app (Electron / WebView2, reached over CDP), or a genuinely native app (macOS AppKit/SwiftUI, or a non-CDP webview) reached via the Cua Driver / Computer Use. Detects the surface, picks the best available driver, degrades gracefully. Use to navigate sites, verify deployed UI, test web or desktop apps, capture baseline screenshots, drive a sign-in flow, scrape data, fill forms, run an e2e check, or inspect current page state. Triggers on "check the page", "verify UI", "test the site", "test this app", "drive the app", "automate this desktop app", "read docs at", "look up API", "visit URL", "browse", "screenshot", "scrape", "e2e test", "login flow", "capture baseline", "see how it looks", "inspect current", "before redesign", "Electron app", "native app".
flow-next-drive, surface-aware UI automation
Drive any UI surface the way a real user would. Whatever driver the environment has, the work is the same shape: observe / navigate → snapshot → act on fresh refs → capture evidence → release. This skill is a router: it detects the surface, picks the highest available driver on a ladder, degrades gracefully when a richer driver is absent, and hands off to a per-rung reference for the command detail.
It orchestrates drivers, it does not reimplement them. The default rung (Vercel's agent-browser CLI) is the only driver assumed present; every other rung is detected and optional. A pass must succeed with whatever the environment actually has, most cloud VMs, Linux, and CI have no Computer Use, so it is never a hard dependency and never on a headless/no-display path.
Driver ladder + universal-flow structure adapted from Ray Fernando's
running-bug-review-boardskill (Apache-2.0).
Step 1, Detect the surface, then branch
Classify the target into one of three buckets and take the matching path. The universal flow (Step 2) is shared; only the actuation and the per-surface reference differ.
| # | Surface | What it is | Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Web app | A URL in a browser (localhost dev server, staging, production) | Web ladder (Step 3) |
| B | Chromium-backed desktop app | Electron / Windows WebView2, Chromium under the hood, exposes a CDP debug port | Web ladder (Step 3), attaching over CDP to the app's remote-debugging port |
| C | True-native / non-CDP surface | macOS AppKit/SwiftUI, Catalyst, or a webview exposing no CDP (macOS WKWebView, which Tauri uses on macOS) | Native rung (Step 4), Cua Driver → Computer Use (attended); Cua Sandbox (headless/CI) |
