# Application Launcher

#### _application-launcher-skill.Caton101_

### Description:

This skill allows Mycroft to launch programs for the user. If this skill is the determined intention, it will check for the program in the user's `$PATH` variable by executing it in a subprocess. If a command is incorrect, it will try several variations of the program name.
