A simple package including one trigger and a short, benign Powershell script.
I'll let Copilot do its stuff and will run the automated checks, but I have made a few minor suggestions for consideration, please?

I'm not overly concerned about this as long as it's valid YAML.

As I commented above #224 (comment), I think this needs addressing to make the package usable.

This is tricky.
shell: powershellwill work on most versions of Windows, but will only work (somewhat slowly) in Linux or macOS ifpwshis installed and either the line is changed toshell: pwshor the user has "powershell" symlinked topwsh. I like the explanation at the bottom of this page.shell: pwshmay fail in some Windows instances ifpwsh.exeisn't installed, so is not ideal.
