Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: aka.ms.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned openai/skills at 49f948faa9.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The winui-app skill allows AI agents to interact with and manage Windows UI applications. It enables the agent to launch, close, and otherwise control WinUI apps programmatically. This facilitates automation of tasks within these applications and integration with other systems.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive tasks in a WinUI application, such as data entry or report generation.
  • Integrating a WinUI app into a larger workflow managed by an AI agent.
  • Creating a user interface for an AI agent that utilizes existing WinUI applications.
  • Controlling and monitoring WinUI apps remotely via an AI agent.

Key capabilities

  • Launching WinUI applications
  • Closing WinUI applications
  • Programmatic control of WinUI app processes

Example prompts

  • "Launch the 'Notepad' application."
  • "Close all running instances of 'Calculator'."
  • "Bring the 'Settings' window to the front."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to system-level permissions to interact with Windows applications. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate privileges for successful operation.
