Implementation Roadmap

Phase 1: Environment Setup (15 minutes)

Python Implementation

# Install SKAP and dependencies
pip install skap-framework selenium webdriver-manager

# Setup WebDriver
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

# Initialize browser agent
service = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)

# Configure SKAP integration
from skap import SKAPAgent
agent = SKAPAgent(driver=driver, llm_provider="openai")

TypeScript Implementation

// Install SKAP and dependencies
npm install skap-framework selenium-webdriver

// Setup WebDriver
import { Builder, WebDriver } from 'selenium-webdriver';
import { SKAPAgent } from 'skap-framework';

// Initialize browser agent
const driver: WebDriver = await new Builder()
  .forBrowser('chrome')
  .build();

// Configure SKAP integration
const agent = new SKAPAgent({
  driver: driver,
  llmProvider: 'openai',
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
});

Phase 2: Web Automation Specialization (30 minutes)

Python: Target Analysis

# Analyze target web application
target_url = "https://example-ecommerce.com"
analysis_result = await agent.analyze_platform(
    url=target_url,
    exploration_depth=3,
    interaction_patterns=['forms', 'navigation', 'search']
)

# Generate specialized SKAP file
skap_file = agent.generate_skap(
    platform_name="ecommerce-automation",
    analysis_result=analysis_result,
    target_tasks=['product_search', 'add_to_cart', 'checkout']
)

TypeScript: Target Analysis

// Analyze target web application
const targetUrl = "https://example-ecommerce.com";
const analysisResult = await agent.analyzePlatform({
  url: targetUrl,
  explorationDepth: 3,
  interactionPatterns: ['forms', 'navigation', 'search']
});

// Generate specialized SKAP file
const skapFile = agent.generateSKAP({
  platformName: "ecommerce-automation",
  analysisResult: analysisResult,
  targetTasks: ['productSearch', 'addToCart', 'checkout']
});

Phase 3: Deployment and Validation (15 minutes)

Python: Production Deployment

# Deploy specialized agent
specialized_agent = SKAPAgent.from_file("ecommerce-automation.skap.md")

# Execute automation tasks
results = await specialized_agent.execute_task(
    task_name="product_purchase_flow",
    parameters={
        "product_query": "wireless headphones",
        "max_price": 200,
        "quantity": 1
    }
)

# Performance monitoring
print(f"Task completion: {results.success_rate}%")
print(f"Execution time: {results.execution_time}s")
print(f"Quality score: {results.quality_score}")

TypeScript: Production Deployment

// Deploy specialized agent
const specializedAgent = SKAPAgent.fromFile("ecommerce-automation.skap.md");

// Execute automation tasks
const results = await specializedAgent.executeTask({
  taskName: "productPurchaseFlow",
  parameters: {
    productQuery: "wireless headphones",
    maxPrice: 200,
    quantity: 1
  }
});

// Performance monitoring
console.log(`Task completion: ${results.successRate}%`);
console.log(`Execution time: ${results.executionTime}s`);
console.log(`Quality score: ${results.qualityScore}`);

Selenium WebDriver Integration

Python: Cross-Browser Setup

# Multi-browser support
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

# Chrome configuration
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")  # For server deployment
chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")

# Firefox configuration
firefox_options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
firefox_options.add_argument("--headless")

# Initialize SKAP with browser preference
agent = SKAPAgent(
    browser_type="chrome",  # or "firefox", "safari", "edge"
    options=chrome_options,
    implicit_wait=10
)

TypeScript: Cross-Browser Setup

// Multi-browser support
import { Builder, Capabilities } from 'selenium-webdriver';
import chrome from 'selenium-webdriver/chrome';
import firefox from 'selenium-webdriver/firefox';

// Chrome configuration
const chromeOptions = new chrome.Options()
  .addArguments('--headless')
  .addArguments('--no-sandbox')
  .addArguments('--disable-dev-shm-usage');

// Firefox configuration
const firefoxOptions = new firefox.Options()
  .addArguments('--headless');

// Initialize SKAP with browser preference
const agent = new SKAPAgent({
  browserType: 'chrome', // or 'firefox', 'safari', 'edge'
  options: chromeOptions,
  implicitWait: 10000
});

MiniWoB++ Evaluation Setup

Benchmark Installation

# Install MiniWoB++ evaluation environment
git clone https://github.com/stanfordnlp/miniwob-plusplus.git
cd miniwob-plusplus
pip install -e .

python -m http.server 8080 --directory miniwob/html/

Performance Validation

# Python: Run MiniWoB++ evaluation
from skap.evaluation import MiniWoBEvaluator

evaluator = MiniWoBEvaluator(
    agent=specialized_agent,
    tasks=['click-button', 'enter-text', 'navigate-tree'],
    episodes_per_task=100
)

# Execute benchmark
results = evaluator.run_evaluation()

# Statistical analysis
print(f"Average reward: {results.mean_reward:.3f} ± {results.std_reward:.3f}")
print(f"Success rate: {results.success_rate:.1f}%")
print(f"95% CI: [{results.ci_lower:.3f}, {results.ci_upper:.3f}]")

Quality Assurance

# Automated quality checks
quality_checks = {
    'task_completion_rate': lambda r: r.success_rate >= 0.95,
    'execution_time': lambda r: r.avg_time <= 30.0,
    'error_recovery': lambda r: r.recovery_rate >= 0.90
