What

When another machine is attached to a Claude Code session, Claude Code shows internal guidance describing how to run commands remotely on it. This guidance now recognizes PowerShell (Microsoft's command-line shell, run as pwsh) as an option alongside Bash, and adjusts its wording depending on which shell or shells the attached machine actually supports. For PowerShell specifically, it points to commands like Get-Content (read a file), Select-String (search text), and Set-Content (write a file) as the equivalents of familiar Bash tools.

Separately, the guidance now also describes a 'coordinator' framing for cases where the session can spawn Task workers (sub-agents that handle pieces of a job).

Why

This makes remote execution guidance accurate for Windows machines running PowerShell, rather than assuming Bash is always available on an attached machine.
