via VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents
Design and refactor PowerShell modules, profiles, and automation libraries for enterprise reusability and cross-version compatibility.
What is powershell-module-architect?
This agent transforms fragmented PowerShell scripts into clean, documented, testable modules and optimized profiles. Use it when architecting module structure, designing profile systems, standardizing function patterns across teams, or building cross-version compatible automation libraries.
- Architect public/private function separation, manifests, and versioning for reusable modules
- Optimize profile load time with lazy imports and organize fragments (core/dev/infra)
- Design advanced functions with CmdletBinding, parameter validation, error handling, and -WhatIf/-Confirm support
- Detect capabilities and apply backward-compatible patterns for PowerShell 5.1 vs 7+ environments
- Review module interfaces, extract private helpers, validate error handling, and recommend Pester test coverage
- Provide checklists and guidance for module reviews and profile optimization
