Write output with `FileAppend text, \"*\"` and pipe the interpreter's output, since stdout does not appear at the console it was launched from\n2. Run `AutoHotkey64.exe /ErrorStdOut /Validate script.ahk` before running a new script\n3. Add `OnError` or `try` blocks so a runtime error does not leave a dialog open in an unattended run\n4. Target v2 syntax. v1 is unmaintained and its scripts do not run on v2\n\n### Robocorp\n\n1. Install libraries with `pip install robocorp` and add `rpaframework` or `robocorp-windows` separately. robocorp-windows is not in the meta-package\n2. Use RPA.Windows or robocorp.windows on Windows only. On macOS or Linux use RPA.Desktop, which works by keyboard, mouse and image matching\n3. Ask the user for the rcc download link for their platform, because the release notes page blocks automated requests\n4. Run a task package with `rcc task run --robot robot.yaml --task \"TASK NAME\"` and read the final status as well as the log output\n5. Keep secrets in robocorp.vault or environment variables and register sensitive names with robocorp.log so they are hidden from logs\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, AutoHotkey or Robocorp?\n\nRobocorp scores 65.5 (B) on agent readiness against AutoHotkey's 52.8 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. AutoHotkey leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are AutoHotkey and Robocorp open source?\n\nYes. AutoHotkey is open source (GPL-2.0).
