GitHub Copilot Instructions for Process-PSModule

Terminal Commands

  • Prefer MCP server calls over command-line tools when possible.
  • When running scripts within the scripts folder, just run them directly (shell is default PowerShell).
  • For other commands, send them into pwsh -Command to ensure proper execution.

Quoting in PowerShell

Proper quoting is essential in PowerShell to prevent parsing errors and ensure correct command execution.

  • Direct script execution: Scripts run directly in PowerShell use standard PowerShell quoting rules. Double quotes expand variables and expressions, while single quotes are literal. No additional shell escaping is needed.

  • Via pwsh -Command: Commands are passed as strings to PowerShell. Enclose the entire command in single quotes to treat it as a literal string. Escape single quotes within the command by doubling them (e.g., It's becomes It''s). Use double quotes within the command for variable expansion, but ensure the outer single quotes protect the string from shell interpretation.

For arguments containing single quotes, prefer double-quoting the argument inside the command string.

Example: pwsh -Command 'Write-Host "I''m Groot"'
