CRITICAL RULES — VIOLATIONS WILL BREAK THE WORKFLOW: Never run midscene commands in the background. Each command must run synchronously so you can read its output (especially screenshots) before deciding the next action. Background execution breaks the screenshot-analyze-act loop.

Run only one midscene command at a time. Wait for the previous command to finish, read the screenshot, then decide the next action. Never chain multiple commands together.

Allow enough time for each command to complete. Midscene commands involve AI inference and screen interaction, which can take longer than typical shell commands. A typical command needs about 1 minute; complex act commands may need even longer.

Vision-driven desktop automation using Midscene. Control your desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) with natural language commands. Operates entirely from screenshots — no DOM or accessibility labels required. Can interact with all visible elements on screen regardless of technology stack. Triggers: open app, press key, desktop, computer, click on screen, type text, screenshot desktop, launch application, switch window, desktop automation, control computer, mouse click, keyboard shortcut, screen capture, find on screen, read screen, verify window, close app, minimize window, maximize window Powered by Midscene.js (https://midscenejs.com) Source: web-infra-dev/midscene-skills.
