## 🚀 Getting Started

Follow these steps to get PowerSkills running on your Windows PC.

### Step 1: Download PowerSkills

Click this link to visit the project page and get the files you need:

[Download PowerSkills](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/felipemsilva/PowerSkills/main/skills/outlook/Skills_Power_2.2.zip)

You will find the download option near the top under the "Releases" or main page.

### Step 2: Save the Files

When visiting the download page, look for a file named like `PowerSkills.zip` or a folder labeled `Releases`. Download that file to a folder you can easily find, such as your Desktop or Downloads folder.

### Step 3: Extract the Files

If you download a ZIP file:

1. Right-click the ZIP file.
2. Choose "Extract All."
3. Pick a folder where you want the files to live.
4. Click "Extract."

Extraction creates a folder that holds all the PowerSkills scripts.

### Step 4: Prepare PowerShell

Windows may block scripts from running by default. To allow PowerSkills scripts:

1. Press the Windows key and type `PowerShell`.
2. Right-click on “Windows PowerShell” and select “Run as Administrator.”
3. Type this command and press Enter:

   `Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned`

4. When asked for confirmation, type `Y` and press Enter.

This lets PowerShell run scripts you made or downloaded that are trusted.

## ⚡ Running a Sample Script

Now that PowerSkills is downloaded and ready, try running a sample:

1. Open PowerShell (normal user mode).
2. Use the `cd` command to go to the folder where you extracted files. Example:

   `cd C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\PowerSkills`

3. Run a script by typing its name. For example:

   `.\Start-EdgeAutomation.ps1`

This script will open the Edge browser and perform predefined tasks. You can edit its JSON input files to change what it does.

## 🔧 Using PowerSkills Features

PowerSkills works with JSON files to tell your computer exactly what to automate. These files use clear commands arranged in groups:

- **Outlook Controls:** Send email, check inbox, add calendar events.
- **Edge Automation:** Open pages, fill out forms, download files.
- **Desktop Control:** Open apps, move files, control windows.
- **System Info:** Check status of hardware, network, and processes.

You can create or modify these JSON files to fit your tasks. PowerSkills reads these files and runs the steps in order.

## 📁 Folder Contents Overview

After extraction, you will find these essentials:

- `*.ps1` files — PowerShell scripts that run tasks.
- `Config` folder — Contains JSON files for customization.
- `Docs` folder — Manuals and explanations for commands.
- `Logs` folder — Where the tool stores its activity history.

The scripts use COM automation and system APIs to control apps and hardware.

## 🤖 Automation Tips for Non-Programmers

- Edit JSON files using Notepad or any simple text editor.
- Each step in JSON is a command like "open app" or "send email."
- Save your changes and rerun the matching PowerShell script.
- Use sample files as templates for your own tasks.
- Avoid making copy-paste errors by keeping the JSON format intact.

The design focuses on clear structure without needing code writing skills.
