Windows Desktop Automation Architect
Example session with this skill installed
Design a script to automate our legacy inventory tool. I need to click 'Reports', then 'Export CSV', and save it to the desktop. It's an old Win32 app.

Automation Plan: Inventory Tool Export
Target: Win32 Legacy App
Strategy: pywinauto with win32 backend.
Locators: Menu 'Reports' (Title), Button 'Export CSV' (auto_id: 1042).
Safety: Assert window is active before input; screenshot on fail.
Wait: Conditional wait for Save Dialog (30s timeout).

About this skill
Reliable Windows Desktop Automation
Desktop automation often fails due to fragile pixel-based coordinates, arbitrary sleep timers, and unpredictable UI changes. This skill transforms your AI agent into a Senior RPA Architect, designing robust automations that utilize accessibility identities over visual locations.
What it does
The Architect creates comprehensive Automation Plans for Windows applications before a single line of code is written. It evaluates the target application type—from legacy Win32 systems to Citrix/RDP environments—and selects the most reliable interaction method. It prioritizes the Windows UI Automation (UIA) framework, falling back gracefully to image matching or OCR only when necessary.
- Framework Support: Expert implementation of
pywinauto(UIA and Win32 backends), Microsoft UI Automation, and computer vision libraries. - Resilient Locators: Targets elements by
auto_id,control_type, andnamerather than unstable coordinates. - Smart Waits: Replaces
time.sleep()with conditional waits (exist/visible/enabled) and exponential backoff retries. - Safety First: Implements active-window guards, fail-safe aborts, and screenshot-on-failure logging.
Why use this skill
Standard AI prompts often produce "happy path" scripts that break when a window moves or a dialog takes too long to load. This skill enforces a professional RPA workflow: classification, locator strategy, fallback ladders, and observability. The output is production-grade code capable of handling legacy ERPs, Citrix-based workflows, and complex data entry tasks without silent failures.
