[Requests and ideas] I’d like to share feedback about using the agent-merge skill on Windows.

I’d like to share feedback about using the agent-merge skill on Windows.

The overall workflow works, but setup and execution were not smooth compared to macOS/Linux. I hit multiple environment-specific issues before the script could run successfully:

The script assumes bash, gh, and jq are readily available in the same shell environment, which was not true on Windows.
Running via the default bash entry did not reliably expose gh.
Running via Git Bash introduced path-conversion issues for GitHub API endpoints (for example, leading /repos/... paths were rewritten as local filesystem paths).
jq was not available by default in the shell used by the script, and had to be installed and manually added to PATH.
I had to set MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 to prevent endpoint/path mangling.
After these fixes, the script worked, but the out-of-box experience on Windows is fragile.

Suggestions to improve Windows compatibility:

Add a Windows-specific preflight check in check-merge-conditions.sh for bash, gh, and jq.
Document the recommended shell explicitly (for example, Git Bash) and required environment variables.
Detect and guard against MSYS path conversion issues (or set MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 in-script when safe).
Improve error messages so users can quickly identify whether the failure is tool availability, path conversion, or API/auth related.
This would make agent-merge much more reliable and user-friendly on Windows.

Empieza leyendo check-merge-conditions.sh y siguiendo cómo invoca bash, gh, jq y Git Bash en Windows. Verifica primero los casos de PATH y conversión de rutas de MSYS informados. Se considera completado cuando los usuarios de Windows reciben una guía clara sobre la comprobación previa o los errores, y la configuración recomendada del shell y del entorno está documentada.
