+# LibreOffice Calc: a computer-use environment built from a one-line request
+
+![An agent solving the task in LibreOffice Calc](media/hero.gif)
+
+**The real LibreOffice Calc 24.2 spreadsheet running on an Ubuntu 24.04 desktop, as an [agentenv](https://pypi.org/project/agentenv-framework/) computer environment. An agent completes the task only through screenshots, mouse and keyboard, and a verifier grades the saved files with no model.**
+
+Claude Code built this environment from a one-line request in about 36 minutes, with only REA's build skill and MCP tools; [How it was made](#how-it-was-made) has the request and the steps. LibreOffice Calc opens a small quarterly sales spreadsheet, `Documents/q1-sales.ods`, at launch: January, February and March sales in US dollars, and a Q1 Total row that sums them. The agent has to correct February's figure from 21,300 to 23,100 and save, leaving the other months alone. It sees only the screen and acts only with the mouse and keyboard.
+
+## Watch
+
+- Agent runs (Claude Code with Claude Sonnet 5.5): [run 1](media/solve-1.mp4), [run 2](media/solve-2.mp4), [run 3](media/solve-3.mp4)
+- Witness, which proves the task can be done through the computer: [witness.mp4](media/witness.mp4)
+
+Each video is the computer's own screen recording at 10 frames per second.
+
+## The task
+
+> February's sales figure in my quarterly sales spreadsheet, Documents/q1-sales.ods, is wrong: it should be 23,100. Fix it and save the spreadsheet.
+
+`bundle/artifacts/fix-february-sales-check/verify.py` reads the app's files through the computer's `data/get` view and passes only if every check holds:
+
+| Check | Kind | File |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `february` | `text_contains` | `Documents/q1-sales.ods` |
+| `sheet` | `text_equals` | `Documents/q1-sales.ods` |
+
+An `.ods` file is a zip, and REA reads `content.xml` inside it. The checks find the sheet by its name, Q1 Sales, never by position, and read the sheet's whole text, its cells' text run together: it must contain "February23100March" and equal "MonthSales (USD)January18450February23100March19875Q1 Total61425" exactly. LibreOffice saves a formula's result alongside the formula, so the exact match also proves that the other months are untouched and that the Q1 Total recalculated to 61,425. REA's draft suggested eight checks, all on things any editing session changes, such as the cursor position, the document's editing time and the time field in the page header; Claude Code discarded them and wrote these.
+
+## Results
+
+3 of 3 runs passed, about $0.58 per run.
+
+| Run | Outcome | Turns | Cost | Video |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | passed | 11 | $1.02 | [video](media/solve-1.mp4) |
+| 2 | passed | 11 | $0.25 | [video](media/solve-2.mp4) |
+| 3 | passed | 10 | $0.48 | [video](media/solve-3.mp4) |
+
+## Run it
+
+You need Docker. `agentenv-framework` builds the computer: Ubuntu 24.04 with the app installed from Ubuntu's archive (`libreoffice-calc` 24.2.7).
+
+```bash
+pip install agentenv-framework==0.9.1431
+hf download earakely-scale/LibreOfficeCalcFromRequestComputerEnv-REA --repo-type dataset --local-dir calc-request
+agent-env run calc-request/bundle --task fix-february-sales --agent claude-code --model <model>
+```
+
+The agent needs a model provider configured for agentenv. `--task smoke` only boots the computer, with no agent. `bundle/README.md` describes the bundle in detail.
+
+## How it was made
+
+Claude Code built this environment from a one-line request, given only [REA](https://github.com/morluto/rea)'s build skill and REA's MCP tools:
+
+> Build me a LibreOffice Calc environment where the agent fixes one month's figure in a small quarterly sales spreadsheet and saves it.
+
+It asked only the skill's upfront questions, wrote no app-specific scripts, and finished in about 36 minutes.
+
+It took a second capture. The first export seeded LibreOffice's profile lock file, `~/.config/libreoffice/4/.lock`, so in a fresh computer LibreOffice found its profile locked and would not start. Claude Code captured again, deleting the lock file in the file manager before the seed was saved and closing the spreadsheet before the end. The steps were REA's usual ones:
+
+1. **Capture.** REA launched LibreOffice Calc on a Linux desktop and recorded its package, windows and opened files while the edit was made. It also recorded the app's state folders before and after.
+2. **Export.** REA turned the capture into an agentenv `computer_app`. It installs the app, seeds the starting files, starts the app, and waits for its main window. It also serves typed views of the app's files for verifiers.
+3. **Task.** The task's checks were validated against the capture: they fail on the starting state and pass on the captured end state.
+4. **Witness.** In a fresh computer, the edit was made through computer actions alone, and the checks were read at four stages. They held on the first try:
+
+| Stage | Checks |
+| --- | --- |
+| `seed` | fail, as expected: February is 21300 |
+| `after_edit` | pass |
+| `near_miss` | fail, as expected: February was typed as 23010 |
+| `after_reset` | fail, as expected: `data/reset` restored the seed |
+
+The agent runs came after the build: Claude Code with Claude Sonnet 5.5 (`--model anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5 --no-emulate`, on an amd64 host) solved the task 3 times, each run recorded.
+
+## What's inside
+
+```
+bundle/      the agentenv bundle: envs/ (app module, seed files), tasks/, artifacts/ (verifier), evals/
+media/       witness and agent-run recordings (MP4) with short GIF previews
+results.json the runs above, with each check's result
+```
+
+## Limits
+
+- The checks read the cells' text as LibreOffice saves it, not their numeric values, so February must be saved as 23100. Shown with a thousands separator, as "23,100", it fails though its value is right.
+- The `sheet` check compares the whole sheet's text exactly, so anything else typed on the sheet, even in a spare cell, fails it.
+- The seed holds LibreOffice's user profile as the capture left it, including its icon cache (`~/.config/libreoffice/4/cache`, 558 files). LibreOffice started cleanly from it in the witness and in every run.
+- The computer installs whatever `libreoffice-calc` Ubuntu 24.04's archive holds at build time (24.2.7 for these runs); it is not pinned.
+- Three runs is a small sample: the solve rate shows the task is solvable, not how hard it is.
+
+## Licences
+
+The bundle code, the task and the synthetic seed files are Apache-2.0. LibreOffice Calc itself is not included: the computer installs it from Ubuntu's archive (`libreoffice-calc` 24.2.7) at build time, under its own licence (MPL-2.0).

+(capture Evidence `ev_8c5f728dff342fed12aa62c5dbeb9fe41179fe34d33284e313ce8a1bde75ce1c`). It was checked against agentenv-framework
+0.9.1431.
+
+- `envs/libreoffice-calc/` is a computer app on the `ubuntu-24.04` base with the `reference` driver, for
+  `amd64` and `arm64`. It installs `libreoffice-calc` from the distribution archive, launches `sh -c cd "$HOME" 2>/dev/null; exec 'libreoffice' '--calc' "$HOME"/'Documents/q1-sales.ods'` at boot and is ready
+  when a window of class `libreoffice-calc` appears.
+- `libreoffice-common`, which owns the program the desktop entry runs, is installed with it.
+- At launch the app opens `~/Documents/q1-sales.ods`, the seed's one document.
+- Owned paths: `~/.config/libreoffice`, `~/Documents`.
+  `data/get` returns their files and a typed JSON view of each; `data/reset` restores the seed.
+- Seed: 584 file(s) made for the task, as saved at checkpoint `seed`.
+  Text files and dconf keys spell the capture host's name as `localhost`, `user@host` as `user@localhost`
+  and the home as `/home/user`, which the computer respells to its own at boot.
+- Neither owned nor seeded, so the app starts without what it saved there: files changed during the capture in
+  `~/.config/Thunar`.
+  To own them, capture again naming them with `state_paths` on `start_build_capture`, or `--state-path` on `capture-desktop-application`.
+- Seeded as captured, though the app keeps them for its own running, so a stale one can change how it starts:
+  caches `~/.config/libreoffice/4/cache`, `~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache`.
+- `tasks/smoke.json` deploys the app.
+
+Run the task with `agent-env run <this folder>`, or only the deploy with `--task smoke`.
+
+The seed was made for this task, not taken from a user's own data; read `envs/libreoffice-calc/seed/` before publishing the bundle.
+
+## Task `fix-february-sales`
+
+`tasks/fix-february-sales.json` deploys the app, has the agent work through the computer from the prompt below, and grades
+the outcome with `artifacts/fix-february-sales-check/verify.py`, which reads the app's `data/get` views and needs
+no model. `evals/libreoffice-calc.toml` names it, so a run of the bundle runs it.
+
+> February's sales figure in my quarterly sales spreadsheet, Documents/q1-sales.ods, is wrong: it should be 23,100. Fix it and save the spreadsheet.
+
+Checks, each of which must pass:
+
+- `february`: `{"kind":"text_contains","file":"Documents/q1-sales.ods","pointer":"/entries/[name=content.xml]/view/root/children/[name=office:body]/children/[name=office:spreadsheet]/children/[name=table:table][@table:name=Q1 Sales]","value":"February23100March"}`
+- `sheet`: `{"kind":"text_equals","file":"Documents/q1-sales.ods","pointer":"/entries/[name=content.xml]/view/root/children/[name=office:body]/children/[name=office:spreadsheet]/children/[name=table:table][@table:name=Q1 Sales]","value":"MonthSales (USD)January18450February23100March19875Q1 Total61425"}`
+
+REA kept the task because its checks fail on the seed (`february`, `sheet`) and all
+pass on the captured end state.
+
+To measure a solve rate, run the task k times (3 by default) with the agent and model to measure, and count the runs
+whose summary line says `passed`; a run that says `failed` did not finish and is run again rather than counted:
+
+    agent-env run <this folder> --task fix-february-sales --agent claude-code --model MODEL
