Windows Shell Skill

This skill provides guidelines for handling Windows filesystem paths and commands to avoid common pitfalls when using Claude Code on Windows.

Core Principles

Path Formats

In Skills and Configuration:

• Always use forward slashes (Unix-style): scripts/helper.py
• Never use backslashes in Skills: scripts\helper.py
• This ensures cross-platform compatibility

In Bash Commands:

• Always quote paths with spaces or backslashes: cd "C:\KolyaRepositories\project"
• Without quotes, backslashes are lost: cd C:\KolyaRepositories\project
• Result: /usr/bin/bash: line 1: cd: C:KolyaRepositoriesproject: No such file or directory
