Description
Write, advise on, and review PowerShell scripts, functions, and modules — PowerShell 7 vs Windows PowerShell 5.1 differences, advanced functions ([CmdletBinding()], parameter validation, pipeline input), ShouldProcess/-WhatIf for destructive actions, error handling (terminating vs non-terminating, -ErrorAction Stop, try/catch), output streams, strict mode, paths and encoding, credentials/secrets, remoting, PSScriptAnalyzer, and Pester tests. Use whenever the user works with .ps1/.psm1/.psd1 files, asks for a Windows automation script, mentions PowerShell/pwsh, or needs a build/deploy/admin script on Windows — even a quick one-liner that will be saved and reused.
