Sample input
Open Notepad, type 'Automation Report', and open the Save As dialog. Verify the window is visible using OCR and report the status.
Sample output
Main Window 'Notepad' found (PID: 8422). UI Element 'Edit' focus: OK. Action: Typed 'Automation Report' via UIA. Action: Menu select 'File -> Save As' successful. OCR Verify: Found text 'Save As' at (450, 320) with 94% confidence. Task completed in 1.4s.

About This Skill
What it does
This skill provides a high-performance automation suite for Windows desktop applications. It leverages the native UI Automation (UIA) backend via pywinauto to interact directly with an application's accessibility tree, making it significantly faster and more reliable than traditional pixel-scanning tools.
Why use this skill
Unlike basic macro recorders, this developer-centric skill handles the complex reality of desktop automation. It provides a layered reliability model: if native UI elements are hidden, it falls back to OpenCV image matching; if text is non-selectable, it uses Tesseract OCR. This ensures your automations don't break when a window moves by a few pixels or a UI theme changes.
Supported Tools & Frameworks
- pywinauto: Native control interaction (buttons, menus, tree views, datagrids).
- OpenCV: Computer vision for custom-drawn interfaces and games.
- pytesseract: Optical Character Recognition for screen text extraction.
- pyautogui: Global hotkeys, mouse movement, and low-level input.
The Output
Expect robust execution of desktop tasks. Instead of fragile coordinate-based clicks, the skill generates scripts that wait for specific UI states, interact with elements by their internal IDs, and handle window focus automatically. The result is "set and forget" automation for legacy software, ERP systems, and desktop utilities.
Use Cases
- Automate legacy Windows apps that lack APIs or web interfaces
- Extract text from non-selectable UI regions using high-accuracy OCR
- Perform multi-step GUI testing with native element identification
- Create reliable hotkey macros and automated data entry workflows
- Interact with custom-drawn controls using OpenCV template matching
Known Limitations
- Windows only; no support for Linux/macOS. - Requires Tesseract binary installed for OCR. - Performance degrades in sandboxed apps (UWP/Store) or elevated Admin windows.
