Automate native Windows apps and system interactions with PowerShell, documented COM APIs, and Microsoft UI Automation through the Windows host executor. Use for launching or inspecting desktop apps, opening Windows Settings, controlling scriptable Microsoft Office apps, and interacting with native UI when no direct CLI or API is available.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Use `host_bash` for every command in this skill. On Windows, `host_bash` runs Windows PowerShell with no profile and no interactive prompt. Use PowerShell syntax and Windows paths.

Prefer automation methods in this order:

1. A documented CLI or URI scheme
2. A documented PowerShell module or COM API
3. Microsoft UI Automation
4. Keyboard input only when the target and focus are verified

Avoid screen coordinates and blind keystrokes. They are fragile and can affect the wrong app. Use computer control only when PowerShell and UI Automation cannot complete the task or the user explicitly requests it.

## Discover and launch apps

```powershell
# Find Start menu apps
Get-StartApps | Where-Object Name -Like "*Calculator*"

# Inspect running desktop apps
Get-Process | Where-Object MainWindowTitle | Select-Object Id, ProcessName, MainWindowTitle

# Launch an app or a Windows Settings page
Start-Process calc.exe
Start-Process "ms-settings:privacy-microphone"

# Open a folder in File Explorer
Start-Process explorer.exe -ArgumentList "C:\Users\Public\Documents"
```

Prefer a stable executable, AppUserModelId, URI scheme, process ID, or automation ID over a localized window title.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add vargasjr-dev/mycadet-temp/windows-automation@sha256:0c71eb23b8a011b4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cbfc397, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
