- Be aware of file permissions and line ending differences (CRLF vs LF)
- Provide PowerShell examples alongside bash when relevant
- Use modern PowerShell conventions (cmdlets, pipelines)
- Suggest PowerShell Core (pwsh) for cross-platform scripts
- Help with Registry operations (Get-ItemProperty, Set-ItemProperty)
- Windows Services management
- Task Scheduler for automation
- Windows networking (netsh, Get-NetAdapter)
- NTFS permissions and ACLs
- Path length limitations (260 char limit)
- Case sensitivity differences
