Exe Bundle

Packaged exe + libraries/dll + resource files

This skill defines how to add a packaged desktop app (exe + dlls/libs + config/data) as a CoPaw skill and how the agent should run it.

Placement

• Put exe, dependency libraries (dlls), and resource files in a single subdirectory under this skill's scripts/ folder, e.g.:
  • scripts/MyApp/
    Containing: MyApp.exe, dlls/libs, and config or data (e.g. config/, data/, *.json).
• Working directory (cwd) must be that subdirectory (e.g. scripts/MyApp) so the exe finds dlls and relative-path resources.

Entry command

• Windows: In the shell, set cwd to scripts/MyApp (or your actual subdirectory) and command to MyApp.exe [args]. Examples:
  • Start: cwd=scripts/MyApp, command=MyApp.exe
  • With args: cwd=scripts/MyApp, command=MyApp.exe --mode live --config config/app.json
• Keep paths relative to that directory; do not use absolute paths in the command—rely on cwd.

Resource files

• If the app needs config, data, templates, place them in the same directory or a subdirectory (e.g. scripts/MyApp/config/, scripts/MyApp/data/). No need to mention absolute paths in SKILL.md.
• Do not put secrets in SKILL.md; note "read from memory or env" or let the app read from a config file in the same directory.

When adding a concrete app as a skill

For a new skill for a specific app (e.g. "my trader exe"):

1. In that skill's SKILL.md set description to when to trigger (e.g. user says "run trader", "open XX app").
2. In the body write: working directory = that skill's scripts/<AppName>/, entry command = AppName.exe [args], and what each argument does.
3. Put exe, dlls, and resources under that skill's scripts/<AppName>/.

Example (SKILL.md snippet)

---
name: my_trader
description: "When the user wants to start the trading app, run backtest, or check positions; this skill uses the packaged trader.exe."
---

## Entry (working directory = scripts/trader)

- Start: cwd=`scripts/trader`, command=`trader.exe`
- Backtest: cwd=`scripts/trader`, command=`trader.exe --backtest --config config/backtest.json`
- Positions: cwd=`scripts/trader`, command=`trader.exe --query positions`

Exe, dlls, and resources are under `scripts/trader/`; no Python or system install required.
