Skyvern uses Vision LLMs to analyze rendered web pages and identify interactive elements without relying on brittle XPath selectors or DOM parsing. The system captures screenshots, sends them to vision models (Claude, GPT-4V, etc.), and receives structured element coordinates and interaction instructions. This approach enables the agent to work on previously unseen websites and adapt to layout changes automatically, replacing traditional selector-based automation with semantic understanding of page content.
Unique: Replaces XPath/CSS selector-based element location with Vision LLM analysis of rendered screenshots, enabling layout-agnostic automation. Unlike Selenium/Playwright alone, Skyvern's approach treats the browser as a visual interface rather than a DOM tree, making it resilient to structural changes.
vs alternatives: More resilient than traditional RPA tools (UiPath, Automation Anywhere) because it uses semantic visual understanding instead of brittle selectors; slower than pure DOM-based automation but vastly more maintainable for dynamic websites.
Skyvern's ForgeAgent implements a loop-based execution model where an LLM makes real-time decisions about which actions to take next based on page state and task progress. Each iteration captures the current page state, sends it to the LLM with the task context, receives an action decision, executes that action via Playwright, and loops until task completion or failure. The system maintains execution history and context across steps, allowing the LLM to reason about multi-step workflows without pre-defined scripts.
Unique: Implements a closed-loop agentic execution model where the LLM observes page state, decides actions, and receives feedback — similar to ReAct pattern but integrated with browser automation. The ForgeAgent class manages step history, context, and fallback logic, enabling multi-turn reasoning without explicit workflow definition.
vs alternatives: More flexible than pre-scripted workflows (Selenium scripts) because it adapts to page variations in real-time; more intelligent than simple RPA because it uses LLM reasoning for conditional logic and error handling.
Skyvern's TaskV2 system enables dynamic workflow generation where a natural language task description is converted into an executable workflow at runtime. Instead of pre-defining workflows, users describe what they want automated, and the system generates a workflow (block DAG) that accomplishes the task. This combines the flexibility of agentic execution with the reusability of workflows — the generated workflow can be cached and reused for similar tasks. The generation process uses LLM reasoning to decompose tasks into blocks and determine execution order.
Unique: Generates executable workflows from natural language task descriptions using LLM reasoning. Unlike static workflow systems, TaskV2 enables dynamic workflow creation, allowing users to describe tasks without pre-defining workflows.
vs alternatives: More flexible than pre-defined workflows because it adapts to task variations; more structured than pure agentic execution because generated workflows are reusable and debuggable.
Skyvern's ContextManager maintains execution context across workflow blocks, enabling parameter passing, state tracking, and conditional logic based on previous block outputs. Each block receives input parameters from the context, executes, and updates the context with output values. The system supports variable interpolation (e.g., ${previous_block.output}), conditional block execution based on context values, and context snapshots for debugging. This enables complex workflows where later blocks depend on earlier block results without explicit data flow configuration.
Unique: Implements a context manager that maintains execution state across blocks with variable interpolation and conditional logic. Unlike explicit data flow systems, context-based parameter passing enables implicit dependencies and reduces configuration overhead.
vs alternatives: More flexible than explicit data flow because it supports implicit dependencies; more maintainable than global state because context is scoped to workflow execution.
Skyvern provides a workflow engine that represents automation tasks as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of reusable blocks (e.g., browser actions, data extraction, conditionals). Each block has input/output parameters, and the WorkflowExecutionService orchestrates execution order, manages context across blocks, and handles parameter passing. Blocks can be conditional, looped, or chained, enabling complex workflows without code. The system persists workflow definitions and execution state to a database, supporting resumable and auditable automation.
Unique: Implements a block-based DAG system where each block encapsulates a reusable automation unit with typed inputs/outputs. Unlike linear script-based automation, blocks enable conditional branching, looping, and parameter passing through a context manager, supporting complex workflows without code.
vs alternatives: More structured than Selenium scripts because workflows are declarative and reusable; more flexible than traditional RPA tools (UiPath) because blocks can be dynamically composed and parameters are type-safe.
Skyvern's script generation system analyzes completed agentic workflows and generates optimized Playwright code that replays the same sequence of actions. This generated script is cached and executed on subsequent runs of the same workflow, bypassing LLM inference entirely. The system uses a code generation pipeline that converts action sequences into idempotent, self-healing scripts with built-in retry logic and element re-detection. This two-phase approach (agent-first, then script-cached) provides both flexibility for new workflows and performance for repeated tasks.
Unique: Implements a hybrid execution model: agentic (LLM-driven) on first run, then script-cached on subsequent runs. The SkyvernPage API abstracts browser interactions, enabling generated scripts to include self-healing logic (element re-detection, retry) without manual coding.
vs alternatives: Faster than pure agentic execution (no LLM latency) while more maintainable than hand-written Selenium scripts (auto-generated with built-in error handling); trades adaptability for performance compared to always-agentic approaches.
Skyvern exposes browser automation capabilities as an MCP server, allowing Claude and other AI systems to invoke browser actions through standardized MCP tools. The integration maps Skyvern's action system (click, type, scroll, extract) to MCP tool definitions with JSON schemas, enabling Claude to call browser actions as if they were native functions. This allows Claude to autonomously control browsers without embedding Skyvern's full agent logic, treating Skyvern as a tool provider rather than a complete automation system.
Unique: Exposes Skyvern's browser automation as an MCP server, enabling Claude and other AI systems to invoke browser actions as tools. Unlike embedding Skyvern's agent logic, this approach treats Skyvern as a tool provider, allowing external AI systems to orchestrate browser control.
vs alternatives: More flexible than Skyvern's built-in agent because Claude can use browser control alongside other tools; more standardized than custom API integrations because MCP is a protocol-based interface.
Skyvern maintains persistent browser sessions and profiles across workflow executions, enabling stateful automation where login state, cookies, and local storage persist. The system manages browser lifecycle (creation, reuse, cleanup) and supports multiple concurrent sessions with isolated profiles. This allows workflows to maintain authentication state, avoid repeated login steps, and preserve user-specific data across multiple automation runs without re-authentication.
Unique: Manages persistent browser profiles across workflow executions, enabling stateful automation without re-authentication. Unlike stateless automation tools, Skyvern's profile system preserves cookies, local storage, and session data, reducing overhead for authenticated workflows.
vs alternatives: More efficient than re-authenticating on each workflow run (eliminates login latency); requires careful state management compared to stateless approaches but enables realistic user-like automation.

vs alternatives: More flexible than static schema definitions because it reflects live database state, including recent migrations or schema changes
Enforces Supabase Row-Level Security policies within agent queries, ensuring that agents can only access rows permitted by RLS rules defined in the database. Evaluates policies based on authenticated user context (JWT claims, user ID) and applies WHERE clause filters automatically, preventing unauthorized data access at the database layer rather than application layer.
Unique: Delegates authorization enforcement to PostgreSQL RLS policies rather than implementing authorization in agent code, ensuring that data access rules are centralized and cannot be bypassed by agent logic
vs alternatives: More secure than application-level authorization because RLS is enforced at the database layer, preventing accidental data leaks even if agent code has bugs
