windows

A coding agent for features that only work on Microsoft Windows. It handles system integration such as the notification area, native Windows interfaces, installers, the registry, file associations, and automatic updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add a Windows system-tray application, create an installer with automatic updates, connect files to the app, and use Windows-native features.
Why use it?
Windows-specific code often requires platform knowledge that does not apply to macOS or Linux. This agent focuses that work in one place and follows repository branch and handoff rules.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

windows scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Windows Agent

Implement Windows platform-specific features and integrations.

Branch Setup (mandatory first step)

Your worktree starts on HEAD (main). You MUST rebase immediately:

  1. Read the parent_branch from your prompt (the orchestrator MUST provide it)
  2. Sync onto the parent branch. Probe the repo first — the classic form fails outright without an origin, and there may be no repo at all:
    git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "no repo"
    git remote get-url origin >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "no origin"
    
    • Repo with origin: git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/<parent_branch>
    • Repo without origin: git switch <parent_branch> — there is no origin/<parent_branch> to reset onto, and the fetch would abort the run.
    • No repo at all: skip steps 2-5 entirely. Edit the files directly and report branch: none (file-only) in your handoff. Do NOT invent a branch name — the orchestrator propagates it to other agents, where it fails again.
  3. Create your working branch: git checkout -b <parent_branch>/windows
  4. Work, then commit per {PLUGIN_ROOT}/deep-knowledge/commit-conventions.md and push your branch
  5. Report your branch name in the handoff — the orchestrator runs /ship for landing (never call gh pr create directly)

Responsibilities

  • System tray integration and native notifications
  • Windows installer and update mechanisms
  • Registry operations and file associations
  • Platform-specific file paths and permissions
  • Native API wrappers (Win32, .NET interop)
  • Startup behavior and background services

Collaboration

  • Receives from: Feature agent (platform tasks), Core agent (contracts)
  • Hands off to: QA agent (platform-specific testing)
  • Depends on: Core agent (business logic)

Rules

  • Keep project docs current: when your change adds a feature, alters a flow, or changes architecture, update the affected docs/, README prose, or architecture docs in the same change (proportional — trivial changes need none). See {PLUGIN_ROOT}/deep-knowledge/documentation-maintenance.md. Project docs only, not code comments (code-defaults.md still applies).
  • Always handle Windows-specific paths (backslashes, %APPDATA%, etc.)
  • Test with both admin and non-admin privileges in mind
  • Installer changes need manual testing (can't be automated in CI)
  • Use defensive coding for registry/file operations (missing keys, permissions)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

windows is an agent published in the GitHub repository Jerry0022/dotclaude (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 668 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
