Grille Sysinfo

Use for machine hardware and OS state: OS version, uptime, RAM, disk space, installed software. WHEN: 'what OS is this', 'how much disk space', 'RAM usage', 'what's installed', 'sys_summary', 'sys_drives', 'sys_software', 'check disk before build'. DO NOT USE WHEN: you need full session health (use grille_diagnose — it includes drives and RAM); querying processes (use grille-processes); querying Windows Event Log (use grille-eventlog).

File contents

Overview

This skill covers the sys_info module — three read-only tools that return machine hardware and OS state via native Win32 APIs. No WMI, no subprocess, no elevation required.

Tools covered: sys_summary, sys_drives, sys_software

Tool Selection

Goal	Tool
OS version, uptime, CPU, RAM overview	`sys_summary`
Per-drive disk space (free/used/total)	`sys_drives`
Installed software inventory	`sys_software`

Note: grille_diagnose includes drives and RAM in its consolidated output — use that at session start. Use sys_drives / sys_summary directly when you need just that data mid-session without the full diagnostic snapshot.

sys_summary

Returns a snapshot of the local machine:

OS display version (e.g. Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26200)) — via RtlGetVersion, not GetVersionExW
Uptime (days/hours/minutes/seconds)
Hostname
CPU count and architecture
RAM total, available, usage %

sys_summary()   # no arguments

sys_drives

Returns per-drive disk usage for all fixed and network drives:

Drive letter, volume label, filesystem type (NTFS/ReFS/FAT32)
Total, free, used space
Usage % with warning flag at 90%+
Drive type (Fixed, Network, Removable, etc.)

sys_drives()   # no arguments

When to use: Before a large build, file copy, or deploy to confirm there's enough headroom.

sys_software

Returns the installed software inventory from the Windows registry Uninstall keys (HKLM 64-bit, HKLM 32-bit, HKCU). Each entry includes display name, version, publisher, install date, and install location where available.

sys_software()   # no arguments

Notes:

Only returns entries with a display name — filters out internal Windows components
Covers both MSI-installed and MSIX/Store apps visible in registry
Does not cover portable apps (no installer, no registry entry)
