What problem does it solve?

Windows developers often need to run scripts that assume Unix-like tools; this skill translates Unix commands to Windows-native equivalents, enabling cross-platform scripting and avoiding not recognized errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Command mapping: maps common Unix commands (tail, head, cat, grep, find, ls, rm -rf, etc.) to PowerShell or CMD alternatives.
• Platform awareness: detects Windows paths with drive letters and backslashes, and enforces Windows-specific syntax.
• Best practices: guides users to prefer PowerShell or Python for cross-platform scripts and to quote paths with spaces.
• Use Case: when writing a Windows-native script that previously relied on Unix tools, this skill provides direct command replacements to achieve the same result.

Quick Start

Convert a sample Unix command like tail -n 20 file.txt to its Windows PowerShell equivalent.
