Critical Syntax Rules

Type command and inline directives

Type, Sleep, Enter are separate directives on the same line, delimited by the closing " of the Type string. The most common bug is forgetting to close the Type string, which causes Sleep/Enter to be typed literally into the terminal.

# ✅ CORRECT — closing " before Sleep
Type "echo hello" Sleep 300ms Enter

# ❌ WRONG — Sleep and Enter are typed as literal text
Type "echo hello Sleep 300ms Enter
