Quick Answer

Use the CUA quickstart to execute agent-style browser tasks on top of OpenSteer primitives while keeping replay and extraction consistency.

Quick Start: CUA Agent

import { Opensteer } from "opensteer";

const opensteer = new Opensteer({ model: "openai/computer-use-preview" });

try {
  await opensteer.launch();
  const agent = opensteer.agent({ mode: "cua" });
  const result = await agent.execute({
    instruction: "Go to Hacker News and open the top story.",
    maxSteps: 20,
  });
  console.log(result.message);
} finally {
  await opensteer.close();
}

9) Use CUA Agent

const opensteer = new Opensteer({
  model: 'openai/computer-use-preview',
})
await opensteer.launch()

const agent = opensteer.agent({
  mode: 'cua',
})

const result = await agent.execute({
  instruction: 'Go to docs and summarize the first section',
  maxSteps: 20,
  highlightCursor: true,
})

console.log(result.message)
await opensteer.close()

V1 CUA providers: openai, anthropic, google.

Agent

agent(config: OpensteerAgentConfig): OpensteerAgentInstance

Create a Computer Use Agent (CUA) instance with ergonomic defaults.

const agent = opensteer.agent({
    mode: 'cua',
    model: 'openai/computer-use-preview',
})

const result = await agent.execute({
    instruction: 'Open docs and summarize the first section',
    maxSteps: 20,
    highlightCursor: true,
})

• V1 supports mode: 'cua' only.
• Supported providers: openai, anthropic, google.
• model supports either:
  • "provider/model" string
  • { modelName: "provider/model", apiKey?, baseUrl?, organization?, thinkingBudget?, environment? }

agent.execute(instructionOrOptions): Promise<OpensteerAgentResult>

instructionOrOptions can be:

• string instruction
• { instruction: string, maxSteps?: number, highlightCursor?: boolean }

highlightCursor overrides the instance cursor setting for that execution:

• true: force cursor preview on for this run
• false: force cursor preview off for this run
• omitted: use instance cursor setting

Returns:

• success, completed, message
• executed actions
• token/inference usage
• resolved provider and model
