    You say

    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.

    Your agent does

    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).

    What you get

    Automate legacy ERP or CRM software that lacks a modern API.Drive remote applications via Citrix or RDP using image-matching fallbacks.Create resilient data entry bots with explicit UI state verification.Design scheduled report exports with automated error handling and logging.

    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, and name rather 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.
