OpenAdapt Bootstrap - Deliverables Summary

Created: 2026-01-18 Status: Phase 1 Foundation Complete Goal: Self-hosting infrastructure for OpenAdapt recursive development

Executive Summary

Successfully created OpenAdapt Bootstrap - a self-hosting infrastructure that enables OpenAdapt to build OpenAdapt through recorded and replayed development workflows.

Key Concept: Record development tasks once (manual demonstration), replay autonomously forever (via Claude Code).

Vision: Recursive self-improvement where the system can eventually record and optimize its own development process.

Quick Start (For User on Mobile)

View on GitHub

All deliverables accessible from mobile:

  1. Repository: https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/openadapt-bootstrap
  2. README: https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/openadapt-bootstrap/blob/main/README.md
  3. Architecture: https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/openadapt-bootstrap/blob/main/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
  4. Issues: https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/openadapt-bootstrap/issues

Test on Desktop (via Tailscale SSH)

When back at desktop:

# 1. Install dependencies
cd /Users/abrichr/oa/src/openadapt-bootstrap
uv sync

# 2. Test stub screenshot workflow
uv run python examples/generate_benchmark_screenshots.py \
    --html-path test.html \
    --output-dir screenshots/

# 3. Test with Playwright (real browser automation)
pip install playwright
playwright install chromium

uv run python examples/generate_benchmark_screenshots.py \
    --html-path ../openadapt-evals/benchmark_results/my_eval/viewer.html \
    --output-dir ../openadapt-evals/screenshots/ \
    --use-playwright

# 4. Run tests
uv run pytest tests/ -v

Value Proposition

Problem: Development Tasks Are Manual

  • Generating screenshots: 15-20 minutes of clicking/resizing
  • Creating demos: Manual recording and editing
  • Running tests + creating PRs: Multiple manual steps
  • User on mobile cannot execute desktop tasks

Solution: Record Once, Replay Forever

  1. Record task by demonstrating it once
  2. Replay autonomously whenever needed
  3. Iterate by recording improvements

Benefits

Time Savings:

  • Screenshots: 15-20 min → 2-3 min (85-90% savings)
  • Demos: Similar savings
  • PR creation: End-to-end automation

Mobile-First:

  • User on mobile posts /bootstrap run screenshot_workflow to GitHub issue
  • Desktop executes automatically
  • Results posted back to GitHub for mobile review

Self-Documenting:

  • Workflow IS the documentation
  • No need to write instructions
  • Always up-to-date

Reproducible:

  • Exact same steps every time
  • No human error
  • Consistent quality

Architecture Highlights

Three-Layer Design

WORKFLOW LAYER (What to do)
    ↓
EXECUTION LAYER (How to replay)
    ↓
RECORDING LAYER (Capture the demonstration)

Key Innovation: Parameter Substitution

Recordings are literal (exact file paths, coordinates), but replays are parameterized:

# Recording: Typed "/absolute/path/viewer.html"
# Replay: Type parameters["html_path"]  # Can be any file!

Claude Code Integration (Phase 2)

When replay encounters uncertainty:

  • Prompt: "Which option should I select?" → Claude Code decides
  • Error: Element not found → Claude Code finds similar element
  • UI Change: Button moved → Claude Code uses vision to locate

Recursive Self-Improvement (Phase 4)

Ultimate goal - four recursive levels:

  1. Level 1: Record development tasks ✅ (current)
  2. Level 2: Record workflow creation (system creates new workflows)
  3. Level 3: Record recording process (system records arbitrary tasks on command)
  4. Level 4: Full bootstrap (system optimizes itself)

Use Cases

1. Auto-Generate PR Screenshots

Current: Manual 15-20 minutes Future: Post /bootstrap run screenshot_workflow from mobile

workflow = ScreenshotWorkflow(
    html_path="viewer.html",
    output_dir="screenshots/",
    viewports=["desktop", "tablet", "mobile"]
)
result = workflow.execute()
# Screenshots generated, committed, PR created

2. Automated Demo Generation

Current: Manual recording, editing, exporting Future: Replay recorded demo workflow

workflow = DemoGenerationWorkflow(
    demo_script="notepad_demo.py",
    output_format="gif",
    duration_seconds=15
)
demo_path = workflow.execute()

3. End-to-End PR Creation

Future: Single command for code → PR with all artifacts

workflow = PRCreationWorkflow(
    branch="feature/new-viewer",
    generate_screenshots=True,
    run_tests=True,
    create_demo=True
)
pr_url = workflow.execute()
# Everything automated!

Issue #5: Proof of Concept

Test the screenshot workflow with openadapt-evals:

# On desktop (via Tailscale SSH from mobile)
cd /Users/abrichr/oa/src/openadapt-bootstrap

# Install Playwright
pip install playwright
playwright install chromium

# Generate screenshots
uv run python examples/generate_benchmark_screenshots.py \
    --html-path ../openadapt-evals/benchmark_results/my_eval/viewer.html \
    --output-dir ../openadapt-evals/screenshots/ \
