PowerShell Windows patterns. Critical pitfalls, operator syntax, error handling.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# PowerShell Windows Patterns
> Critical patterns and pitfalls for Windows PowerShell.
---
## 1. Operator Syntax Rules
### CRITICAL: Parentheses Required
| ❌ Wrong | ✅ Correct |
|----------|-----------|
| `if (Test-Path "a" -or Test-Path "b")` | `if ((Test-Path "a") -or (Test-Path "b"))` |
| `if (Get-Item $x -and $y -eq 5)` | `if ((Get-Item $x) -and ($y -eq 5))` |
**Rule:** Each cmdlet call MUST be in parentheses when using logical operators.
---
## 2. Unicode/Emoji Restriction
### CRITICAL: No Unicode in Scripts
| Purpose | ❌ Don't Use | ✅ Use |
|---------|-------------|--------|
| Success | ✅ ✓ | [OK] [+] |
| Error | ❌ ✗ 🔴 | [!] [X] |
| Warning | ⚠️ 🟡 | [*] [WARN] |
| Info | ℹ️ 🔵 | [i] [INFO] |
| Progress | ⏳ | [...] |
**Rule:** Use ASCII characters only in PowerShell scripts.
---
## 3. Null Check Patterns
### Always Check Before Access
| ❌ Wrong | ✅ Correct |
|----------|-----------|
| `$array.Count -gt 0` | `$array -and $array.Count -gt 0` |
| `$text.Length` | `if ($text) { $text.Length }` |
---
## 4. String Interpolation
### Complex Expressions
| ❌ Wrong | ✅ Correct |
|----------|-----------|
| `"Value: $($obj.prop.sub)"` | Store in variable first |

How to install
mdr add vodailocz/kilo-kit-mcp/powershell-windows@sha256:e902ee8d16b3fe50The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260502.38d5305, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
