The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
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.
Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Processor | Select-Object Name, NumberOfCores, MaxClockSpeedGet-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" | Select-Object ProductName, DisplayVersion, CurrentBuild$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox.exe -OutFile busybox.exe$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox64.exe -OutFile busybox.exe$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox64u.exe -OutFile busybox.exe$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox64a.exe -OutFile busybox.exeBefore executing a downloaded binary, obtain the expected release digest from an independently verified publisher channel and compare Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256. A computed hash alone does not authenticate the download. If the publisher evidence cannot be checked, report that installation is unverified and do not execute it. Save outside the immutable skill bundle and do not overwrite an existing binary.
PowerShell does not implicitly execute a file in the current directory; use ./busybox.exe or & "C:\approved\path\busybox.exe". Review the applet's filesystem effects before running it.
Useful commands:
./busybox.exe --list./busybox.exe --listUsage: 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.

Use when an authorized Windows task needs Unix-style applets without WSL, and an architecture-compatible reviewed BusyBox binary is available.
