End-to-end onboarding of a Windows machine to WSL2 — enable WSL, install rtk, migrate dev projects off C:\\ into the Linux filesystem with rsync that keeps .git/.env and validates before deleting. Knows the traps from a real migration: rtk missing from PATH, /mnt/c slowness, the whole git tree reading as modified (CRLF/filemode). Triggers — migrate projects to WSL, set up WSL for development, install rtk on Windows, slow WSL builds, resume an interrupted migration.

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

# WSL Windows Onboarding — diagnose WSL · install rtk · migrate projects

This skill takes a Windows developer from "I have a Windows box (probably with Docker)" to "my projects run fast inside WSL2 and rtk is installed." It bakes in the traps that cost the most time on a first migration.

It covers four phases that usually run in sequence, but each is independently useful:

1. **Diagnose / prepare WSL** → `references/wsl-setup.md` + `scripts/wsl-diagnose.sh`
2. **Install rtk** → `references/rtk-install.md`
3. **Migrate projects from Windows into WSL** → `references/project-migration.md` + `scripts/migrate-repos.sh`
4. **(Optional) Set up the shell — zsh + font** → `references/shell-setup.md`

## When to invoke

Use it whenever the user wants any of these, even if they don't name "WSL":

- "Install rtk on my Windows machine" (rtk recommends WSL — this is the supported path)
- "Move / migrate my projects into WSL for speed"
- "How do I access my Windows folder from Ubuntu?" / "why are my builds so slow in WSL?"
- "Set up WSL for development on this Windows PC"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add j0ruge/skills/wsl-windows-onboarding@sha256:416a97b909fbac2a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.3, 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.
