Can I control multiple desktop applications at the same time?

Yes, by using named sessions within the agent-browser tool, you can maintain independent connections and control multiple apps simultaneously.

Do I need to modify my Electron application to use this skill?

No code modifications are required. You simply need to launch the application with the '--remote-debugging-port' flag enabled.

Which applications can I automate with this skill?

You can automate any application built on the Electron framework. Popular examples include VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify, and Microsoft Teams.

Does this work on all operating systems?

Yes, it supports macOS, Windows, and Linux, provided you use the correct launch path and arguments for the Electron application on each platform.

How does the skill identify buttons and inputs within a desktop app?

The skill uses a 'snapshot' command that queries the application's internal structure via CDP, assigning reference IDs (like @e1) to interactive elements for easy targeting.
