busybox-on-windows

busybox-on-windows is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cgyudistira/agentkit. It costs 29 tokens per session (499 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of busybox-on-windows, MIT.

A Windows guide for using BusyBox, a single program that provides many familiar Unix command-line tools. It covers choosing and downloading the suitable version with PowerShell.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the Windows system and processor, download the matching BusyBox executable, and run Unix-style commands from PowerShell.
Why use it?
It helps when a Windows system lacks command-line tools commonly available on Unix-like systems. It also avoids applying these Windows-specific steps on Unix.

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

busybox-on-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 9d 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.

What it actually says

BusyBox is a single binary that implements many common Unix tools.

Use this skill only on Windows. If you are on UNIX, then stop here.

Run the following steps only if you cannot find a busybox.exe file in the same directory as this document is. These are PowerShell commands, if you have a classic cmd.exe terminal, then you must use powershell -Command "..." to run them.

  1. Print the type of CPU: Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Processor | Select-Object Name, NumberOfCores, MaxClockSpeed
  2. Print the OS versions: Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" | Select-Object ProductName, DisplayVersion, CurrentBuild
  3. Download a suitable build of BusyBox by running one of these PowerShell commands:
    • 32-bit x86 (ANSI): $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox.exe -OutFile busybox.exe
    • 64-bit x86 (ANSI): $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox64.exe -OutFile busybox.exe
    • 64-bit x86 (Unicode): $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox64u.exe -OutFile busybox.exe
    • 64-bit ARM (Unicode): $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox64a.exe -OutFile busybox.exe

Useful commands:

  • Help: busybox.exe --list
  • Available UNIX commands: busybox.exe --list

Usage: Prefix the UNIX command with busybox.exe, for example: busybox.exe ls -1

If you need to run a UNIX command under another CWD, then use the absolute path to busybox.exe.
