PC Assistant - Healthcheck Skill

Overview

This skill runs a comprehensive PC healthcheck that provides detailed system information along with actionable recommendations to fix any issues found. Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.

When to Use

• User asks for a "PC healthcheck", "system check", or "diagnostics"
• User wants to check storage, CPU, memory, GPU, or network
• User asks "how is my PC doing?" or "is everything ok?"
• User needs specific recommendations to fix issues (like low disk space)

Requirements

• Platform: Windows, macOS, or Linux (including WSL)
• Permissions: Read-only for most checks
• Tools used: Platform-specific system utilities

Execute Healthcheck

The skill automatically detects your OS and runs the appropriate script:

~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/pc-assistant/scripts/healthcheck.sh    # Linux/WSL
~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/pc-assistant/scripts/healthcheck.ps1   # Windows
~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/pc-assistant/scripts/healthcheck.command  # macOS

Or use the convenience wrapper (auto-detects OS):

~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/pc-assistant/scripts/run.sh

The script outputs:

• healthcheck_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt - Full human-readable report with recommendations
• healthcheck_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.json - JSON summary

• Storage (Win32_LogicalDisk)
• Network adapters
• Processes (Get-Process)
• Services (Get-Service)
• Installed software (registry)
• Security (Firewall, Windows Defender)
• Event logs

macOS

What the Healthcheck Captures

Recommendations Included

The report automatically includes specific recommendations when issues are detected:

Storage Issues (High disk usage)

• Specific folders to check
• Platform-specific cleanup instructions
• Docker/container cleanup commands

Memory Issues

• How to free up RAM
• Which apps to close

General Maintenance

• System update commands
• Security best practices

Scheduling (Cron Jobs)

The skill includes a scheduler script for automated periodic healthchecks:

Quick Start

# Run with defaults (saves to /tmp/pc-healthcheck-reports)
~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/pc-assistant/scripts/schedule.sh

# Custom output folder
PC_ASSISTANT_OUTPUT_DIR="$HOME/Downloads/pc-assistant reports" \
  ~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/pc-assistant/scripts/schedule.sh

Configuration Options

Create a config file at ~/.config/pc-assistant.conf:

# Output directory for reports
PC_ASSISTANT_OUTPUT_DIR="$HOME/Downloads/pc-assistant reports"

# Report filename prefix
PC_ASSISTANT_REPORT_PREFIX="HealthCheck"

# Days to keep old reports (default: 30)
PC_ASSISTANT_KEEP_DAYS=30

# Enable automatic cleanup of old reports
PC_ASSISTANT_CLEANUP=true

Environment Variables

Cron Job Example

# Add to crontab (runs daily at midnight)
0 0 * * * PC_ASSISTANT_OUTPUT_DIR="$HOME/Downloads/pc-assistant reports" \
  ~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/pc-assistant/scripts/schedule.sh

Output

Reports are saved to:

• Linux/WSL: /tmp/pc-healthcheck/ (or custom via config)
• Windows: $env:TEMP\pc-healthcheck\ (usually C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\pc-healthcheck\)
• macOS: /tmp/pc-healthcheck/

When using scheduler: HealthCheck_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt and .json

Tips

• The script is read-only and safe to run multiple times
• Reports are timestamped for historical tracking
• Use JSON output for integration with monitoring
• Set PC_ASSISTANT_CLEANUP=true to auto-remove old reports
