SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The 'add-hands' skill solves the issue of automating local actions such as opening files, saving notes, and optionally running local commands in your Founder OS environment, thus freeing up time for other tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local Automation: Perform actions like opening files, folders, apps, or links; and saving notes locally.
  • Conditional Execution: Execute local commands after confirmation to avoid irreversible actions without explicit user permission.
  • Configurable Safety: Choose between immediate execution of safe actions or confirmation before executing irreversible ones.
  • Use Case: You can automatically open a document after finishing a task and append a note about the action taken.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate local actions like opening files and saving notes?

To automate local actions like opening files and saving notes, you can use a Python script that executes commands within your local environment. This functionality enables you to open folders, apps, or links, and append notes to logs automatically.

Do I need Python installed to run local command automation scripts?

Yes, you need a local execution environment with Python capabilities to run these command automation scripts. Configured file access permissions are also required to ensure the scripts can interact with your local documents and directories.

How to execute local commands after confirmation to avoid irreversible actions?

You can execute local commands after confirmation by configuring conditional execution settings. This mechanism requires explicit user permission before running irreversible actions, while allowing safe actions to execute immediately based on your safety preferences.

Can I configure local automation to ask for permission before running specific commands?

Yes, you can configure local automation to ask for permission by choosing conditional execution. This configurable safety feature ensures that irreversible commands prompt for explicit user confirmation before proceeding, preventing unintended local changes.

What is the best way to open a document automatically after finishing a task?

The best way to open a document automatically after finishing a task is to run a local automation script that triggers file opening actions. You can also configure the script to append a note about the action taken to your local log.

Why does running local commands require configured file access permissions?

Running local commands requires configured file access permissions because the automation scripts need authorization to interact with your local file system. Without these permissions, the Python script cannot open folders, save notes, or execute local operations.
