# Computer Use Feature Audit: OpenQode TUI GEN5 🕵️ **Audit Date:** 2025-12-15 **Auditor:** Opus 4.5 --- ## Executive Summary OpenQode TUI GEN5 has implemented a **comprehensive** `input.ps1` script (1175 lines) that covers **most** features from the three reference projects. However, there are gaps in advanced automation patterns, visual feedback loops, and persistent browser control. --- ## Feature Comparison Matrix ### 1.

Takes screenshot 2. Sends to vision model (Qwen-VL or GPT-4V) 3. Parses response for actions 4. Executes via `input.ps1` 5. Repeats until goal achieved - **Credit:** AmberSahdev/Open-Interface 2. **Full OCR Support** - **Gap:** OCR is a stub in `input.ps1` - **Fix:** Integrate Windows 10+ OCR API or Tesseract - **Code from:** Windows.Media.Ocr namespace 3. **Playwright Integration (Real)** - **Gap:** `playwright` command just simulates - **Fix:** Create `bin/playwright-bridge.js` that: 1. Launches Chromium with Playwright 2. Exposes WebSocket for commands 3. `input.ps1 playwright` calls this bridge - **Credit:** browser-use/browser-use 4. **Content Extraction** - **Gap:** Cannot read web page content - **Fix:** Use Playwright `page.content()` or clipboard hack ### 🟡 Enhancement Opportunities 1. **Course Correction (Open-Interface)** - After each action, automatically take screenshot and verify success - If UI doesn't match expected state, retry or ask for guidance 2. **CSS/XPath Selectors (Browser-Use)** - Current `findby` only supports Name, ControlType, Class - For web: need Playwright or CDP for CSS selectors 3. **Multi-Tab Browser Control** - Use `--remote-debugging-port` to connect via CDP - Enable tab switching, new tabs, close tabs --- ## Opus 4.5 Improvement Recommendations ### 1. **Natural Language → Action Translation** Current TERMINUS prompt is complex. Simplify with: ```javascript // Decision Tree in handleSubmit if (isComputerUseRequest) { // Skip AI interpretation, directly map to actions const actionMap = { 'click start': 'input.ps1 key LWIN', 'open chrome': 'input.ps1 open chrome.exe', 'google X': 'input.ps1 googlesearch X' }; // Execute immediately without LLM call for simple requests } ``` ### 2. **Action Confirmation UI** Add visual feedback in TUI when executing: ``` 🖱️ Executing: uiclick "Start" ⏳ Waiting for element... ✅ Clicked at (45, 1050) ``` ### 3. **Streaming Action Execution** Instead of generating all commands then executing, stream: 1. AI generates first command 2. TUI executes immediately 3. AI generates next based on result 4. Repeat ### 4. **Safety Sandbox** Add `/sandbox` mode that: - Shows preview of actions before execution - Requires confirmation for system-level changes - Logs all actions for audit ### 5. **Vision Model Integration** ```javascript // In agent-prompt.mjs, add: if (activeSkill?.id === 'win-vision') { // Attach screenshot to next API call const screenshot = await captureScreen(); context.visionImage = screenshot; } ``` --- ## Attribution Requirements When committing changes inspired by these projects: ``` git commit -m "feat(computer-use): Add visual feedback loop Inspired by: AmberSahdev/Open-Interface Credit: https://github.com/AmberSahdev/Open-Interface License: MIT" ``` ``` git commit -m "feat(browser): Add Playwright bridge for web automation Inspired by: browser-use/browser-use Credit: https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use License: MIT" ``` --- ## Summary | Module | Completeness | Notes | |--------|-------------|-------| | **Computer Use (Windows-Use)** | ✅ 95% | Full parity | | **Computer Vision (Open-Interface)** | ⚠️ 60% | Missing feedback loop, OCR | | **Browser Use (browser-use)** | ⚠️ 50% | Missing Playwright, content extraction | | **Server Management** | ✅ 90% | Via PowerShell skills | **Overall: 75% Feature Parity** with room for improvement in visual automation and browser control.
