What This Skill Does
Automates Windows desktop interactions using PowerShell scripts for mouse movement, keyboard input, and window management. Works by calling provided scripts with parameters to simulate user actions on any visible desktop application.
Works with any Windows application regardless of whether it exposes an API or supports automation natively.
When to use it
- Filling out forms in legacy enterprise desktop software
- Clicking through multi-step installer dialogs automatically
- Repositioning and resizing app windows for consistent screen layouts
- Typing text into applications that have no scripting interface
- Taking screenshots of specific windows to verify UI state
