Reported result
No measured results or specific outcomes are reported in the source material. The capability is described as a research preview for Pro and Max users on macOS. Success depends on the agent's ability to correctly interpret and interact with the GUI without human intervention errors.

Try it
Act as a QA engineer using Claude Code on macOS. Enable computer use via /mcp. Target [replaceable_app_name] located at [replaceable_app_path]. Task: Open the app, navigate to the settings menu, and verify that the 'Dark Mode' toggle is present. Do not click the toggle. Instead, capture the screen state and report the location of the toggle. If the element is found, propose the click coordinates for human review. Wait for explicit confirmation before executing any click. If the app fails to launch or the UI is unresponsive, stop and report the error. Output format: 1. Launch status, 2. UI element detection result, 3. Proposed action coordinates, 4. Human confirmation request.
