PowerShell Shell Detection & Compatibility

Acerca de

This Claude Code skill provides essential logic and implementation patterns for identifying Windows shell environments, specifically distinguishing between native PowerShell and Unix-like environments like Git Bash or MSYS2. It equips developers with the knowledge to handle path format differences, environment variable access, and automatic path conversion triggers, ensuring that automated scripts and CLI commands remain robust and portable regardless of the host execution environment.

Características Principales

• Comparative mapping of environment variables and command aliases across shells
• Cross-shell path normalization and conversion techniques using cygpath
• Guidance on disabling automatic path conversion in MSYS2/Git Bash environments
• Identification of Git Bash and MSYS2 using MSYSTEM and uname methods
• Reliable detection of PowerShell via PSModulePath and PSVersionTable
• 7 GitHub stars
