// Use when working on PowerShell scripts, registry tweaks, or dotfile deployment in the Win repo. Covers conventions, Common.ps1 helpers, and path rules.
Three-layer bootstrap flow, dotbot patterns, and deployment order for Win dotfiles. Use when editing bootstrap.ps1, install.conf.yaml, or Setup-Dotfiles.ps1.
Use when validating changes in the Win repo. Per-change-type checks for PowerShell, dotbot, autounattend.xml, and guidance files.
Use to run the mandatory end-of-session workflow — file issues, run quality gates, push to remote, verify clean state, hand off context.
Use when orchestrating complex tasks across specialized agents with proper context handoff
Use when configuring or troubleshooting MCP servers for OpenCode/Kilo environments
Use when migrating AI assistant configurations from Claude Code, Cursor, and other tools to OpenCode/Kilo
