powerskills
Windows automation toolkit for AI agents. Provides Outlook email/calendar, Edge browser (CDP), desktop screenshots/window management, and shell commands via PowerShell. Install this for the full suite, or install individual sub-skills (powerskills-outlook, powerskills-browser, powerskills-desktop, powerskills-system) separately.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aloth/powerskillsWhat This Skill Does
PowerSkills is a comprehensive Windows automation toolkit designed specifically for OpenClaw AI agents. It bridges the gap between high-level AI reasoning and low-level OS operations by providing an interface for Outlook email and calendar management, Edge browser automation via the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), desktop environment control (including window management and screenshots), and direct system execution through PowerShell. By modularizing these capabilities, PowerSkills allows developers to choose between a full-suite installation or specific components, ensuring that the AI agent has exactly the permissions and tools required for its assigned workspace.
Installation
To integrate PowerSkills, ensure your environment supports script execution by running: Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned. Then, install the toolkit via the OpenClaw hub: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aloth/powerskills. Configuration can be customized via the config.json file, allowing you to set the browser debug port, request timeouts, and content truncation limits for email bodies.
Use Cases
PowerSkills is ideal for office automation and personal assistant tasks. It enables agents to read and respond to emails autonomously, schedule meetings by interacting with Outlook calendars, perform web research or data extraction using a live browser session, and manage desktop windows to organize a clean workspace. It is also a powerful utility for system administration, allowing agents to monitor background processes or execute shell-based cleanup tasks.
Example Prompts
- "Check my Outlook inbox for any emails from 'Client X' and summarize the action items for me."
- "Open Edge to the project dashboard URL, take a screenshot of the main graph, and save it to my downloads folder."
- "Close all inactive background processes and list the current system resource usage."
Tips & Limitations
When using PowerSkills, ensure your machine remains awake during long-running tasks, as screen locks can interfere with GUI-based automation like desktop screenshots. The browser module requires Edge to be launched with the specified debug port active. Always review the output JSON carefully, especially when using the system module, as shell execution has high impact. Because this skill interacts with deep system components, it is recommended to run this in a controlled environment where the agent's permissions are properly scoped.
