What This Skill Does

The pc-master skill acts as a powerful bridge between the WSL2 Linux subsystem and your host Windows operating system. It enables the OpenClaw AI agent to exert granular control over your Windows environment directly from the terminal. By utilizing standard Windows binaries and PowerShell scripts, this skill allows the agent to manipulate processes, launch GUI applications, perform file operations on the C: drive, and gather system diagnostics. It effectively treats your Windows host as an extension of the Linux command line, removing the friction typically associated with cross-environment management.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/amirgu/pc-master

Use Cases

• Application Management: Automatically close unresponsive programs, launch productivity suites, or refresh your browser instances.
• File Operations: Seamlessly move, copy, or read files located on your Windows filesystem (e.g., in your Downloads or Desktop folders) from within your Linux workflow.
• System Monitoring: Quickly query system resources, check network status, or list currently running processes to debug performance issues.
• Automation: Build complex scripts that combine Linux-native tools with Windows-specific commands to automate repetitive cross-platform tasks, such as saving a screenshot to your Windows desktop when a specific process finishes.

Example Prompts

1. "Open Chrome to the project tracking dashboard and close Spotify to save memory."
2. "Take a screenshot of the current screen and save it to my Windows desktop."
3. "List all running processes, identify if vscode is active, and if it is, kill the process to force a restart."

Tips & Limitations

• WSL Interop: This skill relies heavily on WSL2 interop. If you encounter errors, the standard fix is running wsl --shutdown in PowerShell to reset the interop bridge.
• Paths: Remember that Windows paths (C:) must be accessed via /mnt/c/ in WSL. When using cmd.exe /c start, remember that the shell interprets backslashes; using double backslashes is essential for path strings.
• Security: Because this skill allows execution of arbitrary Windows binaries, ensure your agent permissions are configured to prevent accidental or unauthorized system modifications.
