Windows capabilities for AI agents — Outlook, Edge browser, desktop automation, and shell commands as structured JSON skills.

# List available skills
.\powerskills.ps1 list

# Get skill help
.\powerskills.ps1 outlook help

# Run actions
.\powerskills.ps1 outlook inbox --limit 10
.\powerskills.ps1 browser tabs
.\powerskills.ps1 desktop screenshot --out-file screen.png
.\powerskills.ps1 system exec --command "whoami"

All commands return JSON with consistent envelope:

{
  "status": "success",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": { ... },
  "timestamp": "2026-03-06T16:00:00+01:00"
}

• Windows 10/11
• PowerShell 5.1+
• Microsoft Outlook (for outlook skill)
• Microsoft Edge with --remote-debugging-port=9222 (for browser skill)

If scripts are blocked (UnauthorizedAccess error), set the execution policy:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Or run one-off with bypass:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\powerskills.ps1 list

Each skill can be called directly without powerskills.ps1:

.\skills\outlook\outlook.ps1 inbox --limit 5
.\skills\system\system.ps1 info
.\skills\browser\browser.ps1 tabs

Standalone mode uses lib\bootstrap.ps1 for arg parsing and JSON output.

# Start Edge with debugging enabled
Start-Process "msedge" -ArgumentList "--remote-debugging-port=9222"

Edit config.json:

{
  "edge_debug_port": 9222,
  "default_timeout": 30,
  "outlook_body_max_chars": 5000,
  "output_dir": ""
}

Each skill has a SKILL.md with action documentation. Point your agent to skills/<name>/SKILL.md for structured capability discovery.

Add to your skills directory or reference directly:

# SKILL.md reference

  - name: powerskills

Contributions are welcome! Here's how you can help:

• Report bugs - open an issue with the Bug Report template
• Request features - suggest new actions or skills via Feature Request
• Add a skill - create a new folder under skills/ with a .ps1 and SKILL.md
• Improve existing skills - better error handling, new actions, documentation fixes
• Join the discussion - share ideas in Discussions

When adding or modifying skills, please follow the existing patterns:

1. Use lib\bootstrap.ps1 for arg parsing and JSON output
2. Return results via Write-SkillResult / Write-SkillError
3. Include a SKILL.md with action documentation
4. Test both dispatcher and standalone modes
