Open Settings → Computer Use. The Ghost OS card should show a ready state with the capability matrix populated. If it shows an error, rerun
ghost setup or follow the doctor output.agent-browser Setup
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed
Run
node --version to confirm. If needed, install via nodejs.org or brew install node.Add to ADE configuration
Install the
agent-browser CLI so it is available on PATH; ADE detects it with agent-browser and ingests the artifacts it produces.Computer Use Policies
Each chat session and mission has a computer-use policy header that controls when the agent is allowed to invoke computer-use tools. Set the policy at session start or change it mid-session from the chat header bar.| Policy | Behavior |
|---|---|
CU Off | Computer use tools are never available in this session. Agents cannot invoke them even if they try. |
CU Auto | ADE decides when computer use is appropriate based on the task. The agent does not choose directly. |
CU On | Computer use tools are always available. The agent decides when to invoke them. |
Fallback | The agent attempts the task without computer use. If it cannot complete the task, it falls back to CU. |
Proof | Computer use is available, but every action must produce a proof artifact. The session blocks if proof is missing. |
