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

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

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
