Architect clean, reusable PowerShell modules and profiles for enterprise automation.
What is powershell-module-architect?
This agent transforms fragmented PowerShell scripts into well-structured, documented, and testable modules and profiles. Use it to design module architecture, optimize profile load times, standardize function structure across teams, and ensure cross-version compatibility.
- Design public/private function separation and module manifests with versioning
- Optimize profile load times through lazy imports and organized profile fragments
- Create advanced functions with strict parameter typing, validation, and consistent error handling
- Detect capabilities and provide backward-compatible patterns for PowerShell 5.1 and 7+
- Review module design against checklists covering documentation, helpers, manifests, error handling, and testing
- Provide cross-platform automation toolkit design and migration guidance
