What it does
Powershell Expert is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Develop PowerShell scripts, tools, modules, and GUIs following Microsoft best practices. Use when writing PowerShell code, creating Windows Forms/WPF interfaces, working with PowerShell Gallery modules, or needing cmdlet/module recommendations. Covers script development, parameter design, pipeline handling, error management, and GUI creation patterns. Verifies module availability and cmdlet syntax against live documentation when accuracy is critical.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/best-practices.md`, `references/gui-development.md` and `references/powershellget.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Shell scripting. It works with PowerShell. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (PowerShell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
powershellgallery.com
Also links to:
learn.microsoft.comgithub.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Powershell Expert loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 503 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 503 words (~1,897 tokens).
“Develop production-quality PowerShell scripts, tools, and GUIs using Microsoft best practices and the PowerShell ecosystem.”
