SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires OpenClaw, MCP, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides the capability to execute commands that leverage Windows-node features through a local tray, automating a range of tasks within the OpenClaw ecosystem.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local Command Execution: Execute Windows-node capabilities directly from the local tray.
  • Integration with OpenClaw: Seamlessly integrate with the OpenClaw platform to extend its capabilities.
  • Use Case: Automate tasks such as running shell commands, presenting webviews, or capturing screenshots without leaving the OpenClaw interface.

Quick Start

To execute a command, run the winnode skill followed by the command name and any required parameters. For example, to execute the 'system.run' command to run a shell command, use: winnode --command system.run --params '{"command": "echo Hello, World!"}'

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute local Windows commands through the OpenClaw tray?

You can execute local Windows commands through the OpenClaw tray by running the winnode skill with JSON-RPC parameters, which translates MCP commands into system operations like shell execution and browser control.

Do I need an MCP server running to automate Windows tasks locally?

Yes, local Windows automation via winnode requires both the OpenClaw tray and an MCP server to be actively running to handle and route JSON-RPC commands successfully.

What types of Windows operations can I automate using local command execution?

Local command execution supports a wide range of Windows operations, including running shell commands, capturing screenshots, controlling browsers, and rendering A2UI webviews directly from your local environment.

How do I run a shell command using local automation without leaving the OpenClaw interface?

To run a shell command, execute the winnode skill with the system.run command and pass your desired command string as a JSON parameter, such as --params '{"command": "echo Hello"}'.

Can I use local tray automation to present webviews or capture screenshots on Windows?

Yes, the local tray automation handles A2UI rendering for presenting webviews and supports screenshot capture, allowing you to manage browser control and visual output tasks seamlessly within the OpenClaw ecosystem.

Why are my JSON-RPC commands not executing on my Windows node?

JSON-RPC commands fail when the prerequisite OpenClaw tray or MCP server is not running, as winnode depends on both to receive, translate, and execute local Windows operations properly.
