Windows Dev Skills

Agents and skills for Windows development and debugging

Agent plugins for Windows development and debugging—from apps and services to kernel-mode drivers—with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and more. Add this repo as a marketplace once, then install the plugins you need.

On Codex, OpenClaw, and OpenCode, skills load; agents aren't available.

Plugins are either hosted here under plugins// or maintained in another repo and pinned to a release; both are first-class. winappcli and winui are maintained in microsoft/winappCli; file their issues and PRs there.

Install

You need Git (winget install Git.Git) and one of the hosts below. Replace  with a name from the table.

Install each plugin from one catalog. microsoft/winappCli's own catalog (@winappcli) and awesome-copilot ship the same plugins; installing a second copy gives you duplicate skills.

GitHub Copilot CLI

Paste this prompt into a Copilot CLI session:

OpenAI Codex

Codex loads skills, not agents. Invoke skills by name (e.g. /winui-setup).

Added this catalog to Codex before as microsoft-winui? It's now named win-dev-skills, and codex plugin marketplace upgrade fails with "upgraded marketplace name win-dev-skills does not match configured marketplace microsoft-winui". Your installed plugins keep working but stop updating. Move them over once, removing plugins before the marketplace:

OpenClaw

OpenClaw only reads catalogs whose plugins all live in the same repo, so it can't use this catalog today. Install from the catalog of the repo that maintains the plugin. For winappcli and winui, that's microsoft/winappCli:

OpenClaw loads skills, not agents. Check them with openclaw skills list.
