This repository is a collection of command-line tools that let AI agents control desktop applications on Windows by sending instructions directly to the software through a built-in Windows interface called COM automation. COM automation is a technology that allows programs to control other programs as if operating them from the inside, without using the visual interface. The first tool covers WPS Office and Microsoft Office. It provides 47 commands covering documents, spreadsheets, and presentations: creating and editing paragraphs, tables, images, and styles in Writer or Word, reading and writing cells, applying formulas, and managing sheets in Calc or Excel, adding, editing, and exporting slides in Impress or PowerPoint. Exporting to formats like PDF, HTML, and CSV is also included. There is a presentation design system with preset themes and layout options. The second tool connects to Zotero, which is a reference management application used in academic research. It adds 27 skills organized into categories covering literature search, idea generation, writing papers and manuscripts, peer review simulation, creating visualizations like posters and journal figures, and statistical analysis. It is aimed at researchers who want an AI agent to assist across the full workflow from finding sources to writing and reviewing. The third and fourth tools provide similar command-line control for Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. For Illustrator, commands cover creating documents, managing layers, drawing shapes, adding text, and exporting to vector and image formats. For Photoshop, commands cover documents, layers, selections, image adjustments, text, filters, and export. All four tools require Windows 10 or 11 and Python 3.10 or newer. The Office tool works with WPS Office 2019 or Microsoft Office 2016 and later. The Adobe tools require Illustrator 2023 or Photoshop 2023 and later. The repository is licensed under MIT.
