What is sshot?
The sshot skill is a specialized tool designed to bridge the gap between AI agent commands and Windows system operations. By leveraging PowerShell, it allows users to trigger a full-screen capture remotely or locally, providing an essential visual component to automated workflows. As part of the broader ecosystem of Openclaw Skills, this utility ensures that developers can programmatically document system states or UI behaviors without manual intervention.
sshot Use Cases
- Capturing UI states for bug reporting and documentation.
- Monitoring remote Windows nodes during automated testing.
- Providing visual context to an AI agent for troubleshooting desktop applications.
- Creating time-stamped visual logs of system activity.
How sshot Works
- The user triggers the workflow by typing the /sshot command in the agent interface.
- The skill utilizes the system.run method targeting the specific My Windows Node.
- It executes a PowerShell command using the Bypass execution policy to run a local .ps1 script.
- The script captures the entire screen and saves the image to a local directory.
- The skill returns the standard output, which contains the exact file path of the captured screenshot, to the agent.
sshot Setup
To deploy this skill, ensure your Windows environment is configured with the following steps:
- Verify that PowerShell is installed at the default system path.
- Save your screenshot script to the following path:
C:\Users\YourUsername\.openclaw\scripts\sshot.ps1. - Ensure your node is labeled as My Windows Node in your configuration.
- Test the script execution manually to ensure permissions are correct:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Users\YourUsername\.openclaw\scripts\sshot.ps1"
sshot Data Schema & Taxonomy
The sshot skill follows a simple but effective data flow for handling visual assets:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Trigger Command | /sshot |
| Execution Engine | PowerShell v1.0+ |
| Output Format | String (Absolute File Path to Image) |
| Node Target | My Windows Node |
This structure ensures that subsequent Openclaw Skills in a chain can easily locate and process the resulting image file.
sshot Advanced Features
- Targeted node execution allowing for screenshot capture on specific remote machines.
- Execution policy bypassing to ensure seamless automation without security prompt interruptions.
- Direct integration with system-level shell commands for high-performance capture.
