Skills comparison — desktop automation for Windows + WSL2

Skill	Autonomy	OS	Best for
clawd-cursor	95%	Win/Mac/Linux	Full desktop — sees screen + acts
matagul/desktop-control	75%	Windows native	Mouse + keyboard via pyautogui
desktop-computer-automation	70%	Win/Mac	Desktop screenshot + native windows
pc-control	65%	Win + WSL2	FastAPI bridge WSL2 ↔ Windows
browser-automation	60%	All	Browser-only via CDP
owlock/windows-native-dialog	55%	Win + WSL2	exec+PowerShell workaround

Note: matagul/desktop-control requires OpenClaw native on Windows. clawd-cursor is the most autonomous option for Windows users.
