## Skills comparison — desktop automation for Windows + WSL2

| Skill | Autonomy | OS | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| clawd-cursor | 95% | Win/Mac/Linux | Full desktop — sees screen + acts |
| matagul/desktop-control | 75% | Windows native | Mouse + keyboard via pyautogui |
| desktop-computer-automation | 70% | Win/Mac | Desktop screenshot + native windows |
| pc-control | 65% | Win + WSL2 | FastAPI bridge WSL2 ↔ Windows |
| browser-automation | 60% | All | Browser-only via CDP |
| owlock/windows-native-dialog | 55% | Win + WSL2 | exec+PowerShell workaround |

Note: matagul/desktop-control requires OpenClaw native on Windows.
clawd-cursor is the most autonomous option for Windows users.
