What makes Nushell different from traditional shells like Bash?

Unlike traditional shells that treat all output as raw text, Nushell treats data as structured tables and records. This allows for precise filtering, sorting, and querying without complex regex or grep logic.

Does Nushell work on Windows?

Absolutely. One of Nushell's core strengths is its cross-platform consistency, and this skill helps you write scripts that run identically on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

How does Nushell handle structured data formats?

Nushell has built-in support for JSON, CSV, YAML, TOML, and more. This skill guides Claude in using commands like 'open', 'to json', and 'from csv' to manipulate data effortlessly.

Can this skill help me migrate my existing scripts?

Yes, this skill is specifically designed to help translate Bash, Zsh, or Fish logic into idiomatic Nushell code, utilizing structured pipelines and proper variable handling.
