General

What this skill does

# Windows Native Tools Skill

Use native Windows tools instead of shell commands.

## Tools Available

- **list_files** — List directory contents. Use instead of `dir`, `ls`.
- **run_process** — Start a process. Use instead of shell commands.
- **read_file** — Read file contents. Use instead of `cat`, `type`.
- **close_window** — Close a window by PID. Only works for processes started by run_process.

## Rules

1. NEVER use bash, sh, cmd, or powershell
2. NEVER use shell commands like dir, ls, cat, type, copy, move, del
3. ALWAYS use the tools above for file and process operations
4. Working directory for run_process is always the project root
5. All file paths must be within the project directory

## Examples

### List files
list_files(path=".")
list_files(path="src")

### Run a build
run_process(command="dotnet", args=["build"])

### Read a log file
read_file(path="logs/app.log")

### Start and close an app
pid = run_process(command="notepad")
close_window(pid=pid)
