Purpose

This skill allows the agent to execute safe PowerShell commands for:

• System information gathering (Get-ComputerInfo, Get-Process)
• File system queries (Get-ChildItem, Test-Path)
• Date/time operations (Get-Date)

When to Use

• User requests system information
• Need to check file existence or directory contents
• Querying running processes or services
• Getting current date, time, or location

Instructions

1. Validate Intent: Ensure the user's request is safe and appropriate
2. Review Security: Check security.md for constraints before execution
3. Use Allowed Cmdlets: Only use cmdlets from the whitelist
4. Explain Actions: Tell the user what command you're running and why
5. Handle Errors: If execution fails, explain the error clearly

Parameters

• command (string, required): The PowerShell command to execute
• timeout (int, optional): Maximum execution time in seconds (default: 10)

Example Usage

Copyfrom skills.powershell import execute

# Get current date
result = execute('Get-Date')
if result['success']:
    print(result['output'])

# List directory contents
result = execute('Get-ChildItem -Path C:\\Users')
