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

Platform-Specific Features

What the Healthcheck Captures

Section	Information
System Overview	OS, kernel, uptime, user, shell
CPU	Model, cores, speed, usage
Memory	Total, free, used, percentage
Storage	Disk usage, partitions, SMART status
Network	Interfaces, IP addresses, DNS
Processes	Top CPU/memory consumers
Services	Running/stopped services
Security	Firewall, antivirus status
Software	Installed packages & apps
Hardware	GPU, USB, temperature
Summary	Health score + recommendations

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

Variable	Default	Description
PC_ASSISTANT_OUTPUT_DIR	/tmp/pc-healthcheck-reports	Where to save reports
PC_ASSISTANT_REPORT_PREFIX	HealthCheck	Filename prefix
PC_ASSISTANT_KEEP_DAYS	30	Days to keep reports
PC_ASSISTANT_CLEANUP	false	Auto-delete old reports
PC_ASSISTANT_CONFIG	~/.config/pc-assistant.conf	Config file path

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
