# Windows Notifier Send a local **Windows desktop notification** on this machine. This skill is a Windows-focused alias/wrapper around the shared desktop notification flow so agents can trigger a popup consistently when the user asks for a Windows reminder or when a reminder/alert should not rely only on chat visibility. ## Use this skill for - Local reminder popups - Timer / study / schedule alerts - Attention-needed notifications when chat may be in the background - Windows-specific notification tests ## Command Run this from PowerShell with `exec`: ```powershell node "$env:USERPROFILE\.openclaw\workspace\skills\windows-notifier\scripts\send-notification.js" --title "<TITLE>" --message "<MESSAGE>" --timeout 10 ``` Modern card / persistent dialog mode also goes through the same JS entry: ```powershell node "$env:USERPROFILE\.openclaw\workspace\skills\windows-notifier\scripts\send-notification.js" --title "<TITLE>" --message "<MESSAGE>" --mode modern --appName "OpenClaw" ``` Behavior summary: - **Windows + WPF available** → prefer the built-in WPF modern card path in `send-notification.js` - **Windows fallback** → if WPF is unavailable or launch fails, automatically fall back to `node-notifier` - **Linux / macOS** → use the existing `node-notifier` path - Current modern card behavior: auto-close after about 60 seconds; click the card itself to dismiss Optional flags: - `--wait true|false` - `--timeout <seconds|false|permanent>` - `--sound true|false` (default: `true`) - `--mode modern|card|dialog` - `--appName <name>` ## Notes - Keep the title short and the message concise. - On Windows, `--mode modern|card|dialog` prefers the built-in WPF modern card path when available, and otherwise falls back to `node-notifier` automatically. - `--timeout false|permanent|sticky|0` is treated as a persistent request intent, but final behavior depends on the active backend (built-in WPF on capable Windows, otherwise `node-notifier`). - Prefer this over chat-only reminders when the request is for a local popup. - If a reminder or alert may be missed because OpenClaw is running in the background, prefer triggering this notifier in addition to or instead of chat delivery, depending on user intent. - `node-notifier` remains the default non-Windows path and the cross-platform fallback mechanism. - On first run after install, the script auto-installs dependencies in this skill directory if needed, so users do not need to run npm manually.
