What it does

Windows Compatibility is an agent skill from FritzAndFriends/SharpSite. Cross-platform path handling and command patterns

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: A basic CMS built with .NET 9 and Blazor. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/windows-compatibility”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c35e5e0. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Windows Compatibility loads about 646 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~646

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

earned (multiple Windows-specific bugs: colons in filenames, git -C failures, path separators)

Context

Squad runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Several bugs have been traced to platform-specific assumptions: ISO timestamps with colons (illegal on Windows), git -C with Windows paths (unreliable), forward-slash paths in Node.js on Windows.

Patterns

Filenames & Timestamps
  • Never use colons in filenames: ISO 8601 format 2026-03-15T05:30:00Z is illegal on Windows
  • Use safeTimestamp() utility: Replaces colons with hyphens → 2026-03-15T05-30-00Z
  • Centralize formatting: Don't inline .toISOString().replace(/:/g, '-') — use the utility
Git Commands
  • Never use git -C {path}: Unreliable with Windows paths (backslashes, spaces, drive letters)
  • Always cd first: Change directory, then run git commands
  • Check for changes before commit: git diff --cached --quiet (exit 0 = no changes)
Commit Messages
  • Never embed newlines in -m flag: Backtick-n (\n) fails silently in PowerShell
  • Use temp file + -F flag: Write message to file, commit with git commit -F $msgFile
Paths
  • Never assume CWD is repo root: Always use TEAM ROOT from spawn prompt or run git rev-parse --show-toplevel
  • Use path.join() or path.resolve(): Don't manually concatenate with / or \

Examples

✓ Correct:

javascript
// Timestamp utility
const safeTimestamp = () => new Date().toISOString().replace(/:/g, '-').split('.')[0] + 'Z';

// Git workflow (PowerShell)
cd $teamRoot
git add .squad/
if ($LASTEXITCODE -eq 0) {
  $msg = @"
docs(ai-team): session log

Changes:
- Added decisions
"@
  $msgFile = [System.IO.Path]::GetTempFileName()
  Set-Content -Path $msgFile -Value $msg -Encoding utf8
  git commit -F $msgFile
  Remove-Item $msgFile
}

✗ Incorrect:

javascript
// Colon in filename
const logPath = `.squad/log/${new Date().toISOString()}.md`; // ILLEGAL on Windows

// git -C with Windows path
exec('git -C C:\\src\\squad add .squad/'); // UNRELIABLE

// Inline newlines in commit message
exec('git commit -m "First line\nSecond line"'); // FAILS silently in PowerShell

Anti-Patterns

  • Testing only on one platform (bugs ship to other platforms)
  • Assuming Unix-style paths work everywhere
  • Using git -C because it "looks cleaner" (it doesn't work)
  • Skipping git diff --cached --quiet check (creates empty commits)
