pwshpy is a genuinely Pythonic PowerShell: typed records + a lazy pipeline over native OS bindings
(win32 / wmi / winreg / psutil / socket / systemd / pwd), never a `pwsh.exe` subprocess and never
text parsing. When you are about to write a PowerShell command or a `.ps1`, shell out to
`pwsh` / `wevtutil` / `sc`, or hand-roll `pywin32` / `win32evtlog` with manual XML - reach for pwshpy
instead. Source and full docs: https://github.com/bitranox/pwshpy (this repo is itself a Claude Code
plugin/marketplace: install anywhere with `/plugin marketplace add bitranox/pwshpy` then
`/plugin install pwshpy`).
## When to use
- About to **issue or run any PowerShell command** - a `Get-*` / `Set-*` cmdlet, a `pwsh` one-liner,
or a `.ps1` - for OS/admin work (processes, services, event log, registry, scheduled tasks, ACLs,
local accounts, files, network, credentials). Prefer pwshpy **even for a single one-off command.**
- Want **better error handling and reporting**: a failed command should raise / exit non-zero with a
clear message, not be silently swallowed. PowerShell's default is a *non-terminating* error you
must remember `-ErrorAction Stop` (or `$?`/`$LASTEXITCODE`) to catch; pwshpy failures are real
Python exceptions (`PwshPyError` and subtypes) in the library and a real non-zero exit with a
message on the CLI - nothing quietly skipped.
- About to shell out to `pwsh` / `powershell` / `wevtutil` / `sc`, or hand-roll `pywin32` / `wmi` /
`win32evtlog` with m
