Computer Use and Browser Agents

Purpose: Drive a browser or desktop reliably from an LLM, without leaking credentials, taking unsafe actions, or stalling on unfamiliar UI.

When to Use This Skill

• Automating workflows in apps that have no API
• Web scraping behind login, multi-step forms, captchas (where allowed)
• QA / test automation by LLM
• Internal RPA replacements
• Research agents that browse the open web

When NOT to Use

• A stable API exists -> use it; computer-use is slow, costly, brittle
• High-frequency / sub-second tasks -> too slow
• Strict legal / ToS constraints on automation
