Are environment variable changes permanent?

Yes, unlike standard session exports, this skill uses Windows Registry commands to set environment variables at the User level so they persist after the terminal is closed.

How does the skill handle different package managers?

The skill is profile-aware; it checks your local admin profile to determine whether you prefer Scoop, Winget, or Chocolatey, and executes installation commands accordingly.

Is there a safety check before making system changes?

The skill includes a mandatory 'Profile Gate' that verifies your system configuration and user preferences before any administrative operation is allowed to proceed.

Does this skill work with Windows PowerShell 5.1?

No, this skill specifically requires and enforces PowerShell 7.x (pwsh) to ensure access to modern features and consistent behavior across environments.

Can it help me migrate Linux scripts to Windows?

Yes, it includes a comprehensive translation logic to convert common Bash commands (like grep, ls, and export) into their native PowerShell equivalents.
