Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents powered by Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for automating tasks across diverse digital environments, where reinforcement learning (RL) has become a dominant training paradigm. However, widely used methods such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) suffer from reward-gradient misalignment, leading to inefficient and unstable optimization. Recent work addresses this issue by reformulating RL with verifiable rewards (RLVR) as contrastive or classification-based objectives, which improve stability by eliminating problematic gradient behaviors. Despite this progress, existing contrastive RLVR methods rely primarily on outcome-level supervision and fail to capture fine-grained differences in trajectory quality within the same outcome category. In this paper, we propose Length-Aware Contrastive Learning for GUI Agents (LACL-GUI), a contrastive RLVR framework that incorporates trajectory-level quality signals into policy optimization. LACL-GUI introduces structured preferences within both successful and failed trajectories, encouraging concise successful executions and differentiating failure quality based on divergence from successful trajectories, while preserving optimization stability. Experiments on GUI agent benchmarks show that LACL-GUI provides more effective learning signals and consistently improves agent performance over prior methods, highlighting the value of trajectory-level supervision in contrastive RLVR.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly evolving from conversational assistants into agents capable of operating external digital environments. Graphical user interface (GUI) agents play an important role in this transition, as many real-world workflows remain accessible only through user-facing software interfaces. However, despite recent progress on general computer-use benchmarks, domain-specific professional standard operating procedures (SOPs) remain challenging for GUI agents because they often involve implicit domain knowledge, software-specific conventions, and task-level verification requirements. We introduce OmegaUse-SOP, a human-in-the-loop SOP Engineering system for transforming human demonstrations of professional computer use into reusable SOP skills for GUI agents. Analogous to prompt engineering, SOP Engineering iteratively refines demonstrations, execution rules, and domain knowledge to convert professional SOPs into reusable GUI-agent skills. OmegaUse-SOP consists of four modules: Observe, Reason, Configure, and Execute. Together, these modules record expert operations as multimodal GUI traces, abstract low-level events into semantic step-level instructions, incorporate domain rules and task-specific parameters, and execute the resulting skills in live GUI environments through step-wise grounding, action generation, and verification. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we collaborate with a power-sector client and test OmegaUse-SOP on photovoltaic simulation workflows in PVsyst 7.2. The results suggest that OmegaUse-SOP can improve GUI-agent reliability on professional SOP tasks, highlighting a practical path toward deploying GUI agents in domain-specific professional software environments.
