Execution model

1

Search

Find target pages first and confirm they are trustworthy.

2

Read

Use lightweight fetch for static pages, then switch to browser execution if rendering is required.

3

Act

Run step-by-step browser actions through CDP and capture output or screenshots.

Implementation checklist

Define success before you start

Write down the expected URL, visible text, and completion criteria.

Use recoverable steps

Break workflows into small actions so retries can resume from known checkpoints.

Validate each transition

After each click or form step, verify the page changed as expected.

Log evidence

Store key outputs and screenshots so results can be audited later.
