Build agents that operate browsers and desktop GUIs via screenshots and actions. Covers Anthropic Computer Use, OpenAI Operator / Computer-Using Agent (CUA), browser-use, Playwright-based agents, sandboxing (containers, VM, ephemeral profiles), permissions and approvals, failure recovery, and testing patterns.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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 --- ## Approach Spectrum ``` [Screenshot + LLM] <----- visual grounding -----> [DOM + LLM] Anthropic Computer Use browser-use OpenAI CUA / Operator Playwright + LLM Most desktop agents Most web-only agents ``` Visual approach: works on any UI but expensive (vision tokens, latency). DOM approach: cheaper and more reliable on web; fails on canvas/PDF/video. …

How to install
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/computer-use-and-browser-agents@sha256:7ebf0322ba894d78The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
