Control PCs connected to the Helios Remote Relay Server.

## When to use

When Moritz asks to do something on a connected PC:
- "Do X on my PC..."
- "Check what's running on the computer..."
- "Take a screenshot of..."
- General: remote access to an online PC

## Setup

- **Script:** `skills/helios-remote/helios`
- **Config:** `skills/helios-remote/config.env` (URL + API key, don't modify)
- `SKILL_DIR=/home/moritz/.openclaw/workspace/skills/helios-remote`

## Important Rules

- **Before destructive actions** (wallpaper, registry, system settings, deleting files) always read the current state first!
- Wallpaper: `(Get-ItemProperty 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop').WallPaper`
- **Device labels are lowercase**, no whitespace, only `a-z 0-9 - _` (e.g. `moritz_pc`)

## Commands

```bash
SKILL_DIR=/home/moritz/.openclaw/workspace/skills/helios-remote

# List connected devices
$SKILL_DIR/helios devices

# Screenshot → /tmp/helios-remote-screenshot.png
# ALWAYS prefer window screenshots (saves bandwidth)!
$SKILL_DIR/helios screenshot moritz-pc chrome          # window by label
$SKILL_DIR/helios screenshot moritz-pc screen          # full screen only when no window known

# List visible windows (use labels for screenshot/focus/maximize)
$SKILL_DIR/helios windows moritz-pc

# Window labels come from the process name (e.g. chrome, discord, pycharm64)
# Duplicates get a number suffix: chrome, chrome2, chrome3
# Use `windows` to discover labels before targeting a specific window

# Focus / maximize a window
$SKILL_DIR/helios focus moritz-pc discord
$SKILL_DIR/helios maximize moritz-pc chrome

# Minimize all windows
$SKILL_DIR/helios minimize-all moritz-pc

# Shell command (PowerShell, no wrapper needed)
$SKILL_DIR/helios exec moritz-pc "Get-Process"
$SKILL_DIR/helios exec moritz-pc "hostname"
# With longer timeout for downloads etc. (default: 30s)
$SKILL_DIR/helios exec moritz-pc --timeout 600 "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://... -OutFile C:\file.zip"

# Launch program (fire-and-forget)
$SKILL_DIR/helios run moritz-pc notepad.exe

# Ask user to do something (shows MessageBox, blocks until OK)
$SKILL_DIR/helios prompt moritz-pc "Please click Save, then OK"
$SKILL_DIR/helios prompt moritz-pc "UAC dialog coming - please confirm" --title "Action required"

# Clipboard
$SKILL_DIR/helios clipboard-get moritz-pc
$SKILL_DIR/helios clipboard-set moritz-pc "Text for clipboard"

# File transfer
$SKILL_DIR/helios upload moritz-pc /tmp/local.txt "C:\Users\Moritz\Desktop\remote.txt"
$SKILL_DIR/helios download moritz-pc "C:\Users\Moritz\file.txt" /tmp/downloaded.txt

# Version: compare relay + helios + client commits (are they in sync?)
$SKILL_DIR/helios version moritz-pc

# Client log (last 100 lines, --lines for more)
$SKILL_DIR/helios logs moritz-pc
$SKILL_DIR/helios logs moritz-pc --lines 200
```

## Typical Workflow: UI Task

1. `windows <device>` → find the window label
2. `screenshot <device> <window_label>` → look at it
3. `focus <device> <window_label>` → bring it to front if needed
4. `exec` → perform the action
5. `screenshot <device> <window_label>` → verify result

## ⚠️ Prompt Rule

**Never interact with UI blindly.** When you need the user to click something:

```bash
$SKILL_DIR/helios prompt moritz-pc "Please click [Save], then press OK"
```

This blocks until the user confirms. Use it whenever manual interaction is needed.
