Can this skill control applications without an API?

Yes, it interacts with software visually by clicking and typing just like a human, making it ideal for automating legacy or closed-source desktop applications.

Is it suitable for automated software testing?

Absolutely. It is designed for visual regression testing, UI automation, and simulating user interactions to validate application behavior across steps.

Which Claude models support these advanced features?

Most features work with Sonnet 3.7, but the advanced zoom functionality for enhanced vision precision requires Claude Opus 4.5 (computer_20251124).

What is the Zoom tool in Advanced Computer Use?

The Zoom tool is an exclusive feature for Claude Opus 4.5 that allows the agent to inspect specific screen regions at full resolution, ensuring much higher accuracy for small UI elements.
