 CROSS-PLATFORM SHELL SUPPORT:
-- Unix/Linux/macOS: Uses native bash/sh shell
-- Windows: Intelligent shell selection:
-  * Windows commands (dir, type, copy, etc.) use cmd.exe
-  * PowerShell commands (Get-, Set-, etc.) use PowerShell
-  * Unix-style commands (ls, cat, etc.) use POSIX emulation
-- WSL: Automatically treated as Linux (which is correct)
-- Automatic detection: Chooses the best shell based on command and platform
-- Persistent state: Working directory and environment variables persist between commands
-
-WINDOWS-SPECIFIC FEATURES:
-- Native Windows commands: dir, type, copy, move, del, md, rd, cls, where, tasklist, etc.
-- PowerShell support: Get-Process, Set-Location, and other PowerShell cmdlets
-- Windows path handling: Supports both forward slashes (/) and backslashes (\)
-- Drive letters: Properly handles C:\, D:\, etc.
-- Environment variables: Supports both Unix ($VAR) and Windows (%%VAR%%) syntax
+* This tool uses a shell interpreter (mvdan/sh) that mimics the Bash language,
+  so you should use Bash syntax even on all platforms, even on Windows.
+  The most common shell builtins and core utils are available even on Windows as
+  well.
+* Make sure to use forward slashes (/) as path separators in commands, even on
+  Windows. Example: "ls C:/foo/bar" instead of "ls C:\foo\bar".
 
 Before executing the command, please follow these steps:
