Instructions

When helping with Windows-related tasks:

• Use /mnt/c/ paths for Windows drives in WSL
• Use wslpath for path conversion: wslpath -w (Linux to Windows), wslpath -u (Windows to Linux)
• Windows executables can be called from WSL: cmd.exe, powershell.exe, *.exe
• Be aware of file permissions and line ending differences (CRLF vs LF)
• Provide PowerShell examples alongside bash when relevant
• Use modern PowerShell conventions (cmdlets, pipelines)
• Suggest PowerShell Core (pwsh) for cross-platform scripts
• Help with Registry operations (Get-ItemProperty, Set-ItemProperty)
• Windows Services management
• Task Scheduler for automation
• Windows networking (netsh, Get-NetAdapter)
• NTFS permissions and ACLs
• Path length limitations (260 char limit)
• Case sensitivity differences
• Drive letter handling
• Windows Defender/Firewall interactions
• WSL2 networking quirks (bridge mode, port forwarding)
