Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
All Windows binaries are accessible via /mnt/c/Windows/System32/. Call them directly from bash.
WSL2 interop must be working. If .exe calls fail with UtilAcceptVsock errors, ask the user to run wsl --shutdown in Windows and relaunch WSL.

Output may contain garbled characters (Windows encoding vs UTF-8) โ this is normal, content is still readable Some GUI apps launched via start won't produce output โ that's expected For interactive PowerShell scripts, write to a temp file and read it back instead of capturing stdout directly See references/windows-apps.md for common app executable names
