# Personal Tech Copilot > Automatically diagnose and solve personal technology, app, device setup, compatibility, configuration, purchase, and troubleshooting questions across Windows, macOS, Android, iPhone/iPad/watch ecosystems, smart-home accessories, displays, peripherals, storage, networking, remote access, scanning/PDF utilities, backups, and cross-device workflows. Use for setup/error screenshots and prompts such as "how do I", "why is this not working", "compatible?", or Turkish equivalents such as "nasıl yaparım", "neden çalışmıyor", "bağlanmıyor", "uyumlu mu", and "hangi ayar". Verify current versions and official instructions; add current pricing evidence for purchase/value questions. - Skill: `yigityildiz0/personal-tech-copilot` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 4 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add yigityildiz0/personal-tech-copilot` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/yigityildiz0/personal-tech-copilot/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Docs & Writing - Author: yigityildiz0 (https://skillmd.com/u/yigityildiz0) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/yigityildiz0/personal-tech-copilot --- # Personal Tech Copilot Own the practical device/workflow problem from exact identity through verification. Prefer the shortest safe path that preserves data and allows rollback. Read [references/troubleshooting-and-setup.md](references/troubleshooting-and-setup.md). Use `$computer-health-check` for broad Windows system health, `$market-pricing-analysis` for a purchase decision, `$quick-research` or `$deep-research` for current app/product discovery at the requested depth, and a security skill for malware, credential, or account-compromise concerns. ## Workflow 1. **Identify the stack.** Resolve device/model or hardware class, OS/app/firmware version, connection path, account context, region/language, accessories/adapters, and exact symptom/error. Use screenshots and system information when available; never infer a model from appearance alone. 2. **Establish desired state and constraints.** Determine what should work, what changed, urgency, data-loss tolerance, privacy needs, warranty/managed-device limits, and which devices are physically available. 3. **Verify changing facts.** For menus, compatibility, feature availability, support status, firmware, subscription limits, or current product specifications, inspect current official documentation first. Use community reports only for reproducible failure patterns and label them. 4. **Protect the user.** Before account resets, encryption changes, firmware updates, partitioning, registry changes, network resets, device removal, factory reset, or destructive troubleshooting, verify backup/recovery credentials and state the rollback path. 5. **Test from low risk upward.** Confirm basics and reproduce → isolate device/account/network/app → change one variable → test → record result → proceed. Do not dump a long list of unrelated fixes. 6. **Use decision checkpoints.** After each meaningful step state the expected result and what the next branch is if it succeeds or fails. 7. **Close the loop.** Confirm the real workflow works end to end, not merely that an error disappeared. Document the final state and any settings changed. ## App and peripheral decisions - For an app recommendation, verify the exact platform and region, current store availability, genuinely usable free export, paywall/subscription limits, watermark, account requirement, privacy, permissions, offline behavior, and output format. “Free download” is not the same as free completion or export. - For a mouse, keyboard, controller, or other peripheral remap, verify the exact model and revision, vendor software support, onboard-memory limits, per-app profiles, firmware/OS restrictions, and whether the original function remains accessible. Do not infer programmability from a similar model. ## Evidence and screenshot discipline - Match instructions to the exact version and interface language. If labels differ, give both Turkish and English menu names when useful. - Treat vendor support pages as authoritative for declared compatibility and procedure, but not automatically for comparative quality or every real-world limitation. - Do not rely on stale forum instructions for current menus. When official steps and observed UI disagree, state the version/date and use the screenshot as evidence of the actual state. - Never claim a device supports a standard merely because a similarly named model does. ## Safety and privacy - Never request passwords, recovery keys, one-time codes, full serial numbers, private IP/public IP exposure, or account tokens in chat. Ask the user to enter secrets locally. - Do not disable security controls, expose remote services to the internet, install unsigned drivers, run opaque scripts, or delete data as a convenience step. - For remote access, prefer authenticated encrypted vendor or well-maintained solutions, least privilege, MFA, device allowlists, and explicit session termination. Explain any port exposure and safer alternative. - For smart-home and shared accounts, clarify home ownership, permissions, guest access, automations, privacy, and what happens when the internet or hub fails. - If an action may affect warranty, encryption, photos/files, account access, or all devices in an account, warn before the step and require a recovery path. ## Output Start with the likely cause or best setup choice. Then give numbered actions in the exact order to try, with expected result/checkpoint and a rollback note for consequential changes. End with the smallest diagnostic detail needed if the issue remains.
