powershell

# PowerShell Use this skill when the user is on Windows, asks for PowerShell commands, or needs native Windows setup/troubleshooting instead of Bash or WSL. ## Shell Choice - Prefer `pwsh` when PowerShell 7 is installed. - Use `powershell.exe` for built-in Windows PowerShell compatibility. - In documentation, use fenced code blocks with `powershell` and avoid Bash-only operators such as `&&` unless explicitly running inside WSL/Git Bash. ## Safe Command Patterns Read-only checks: ```powershell $PSVersionTable.PSVersion Get-Command node, npm, git, python, rg -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue node --version npm --version git --version python --version rg --version ``` Path inspection: ```powershell Get-Location Get-ChildItem Resolve-Path . $env:PATH -split ';' ``` Run commands in sequence with explicit lines: ```powershell Set-Location C:\path\to\PilotDeck node --version corepack enable corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --filter pilotdeck --filter pilotdeck-ui ``` Use `npm.cmd` or `pnpm.cmd` when PowerShell execution policy blocks `.ps1` shims: ```powershell npm.cmd --version pnpm.cmd --version ``` ## PilotDeck Native Windows Notes Native Windows source installs need Node.js 22, Git/Git LFS, Python, Visual Studio C++ Build Tools, and ripgrep. WSL2 is usually simpler for development, but native PowerShell is supported for users who want a Windows-only workflow. Install common prerequisites with `winget`: ```powershell winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS winget install Git.Git winget install GitHub.GitLFS winget install Python.Python.3.12 winget install BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC winget install Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.BuildTools --override "--wait --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --includeRecommended" ``` After installing tools, close and reopen PowerShell so `PATH` changes take effect. ## Safety - Be careful with destructive commands such as `Remove-Item -Recurse -Force`; confirm the target path first. - Avoid changing execution policy globally unless the user explicitly asks and understands the risk. - Prefer project-local or session-local changes over machine-wide changes.
