Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-specific tooling and patterns. All examples use Windows images, PowerShell, and WinGet, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or cross-platform scripting. The schema and built-in tasks are described only for Windows environments, and PowerShell is the only scripting language referenced for task authoring.
Recommendations
- Add examples for Linux-based images and show how to customize them using shell scripts (e.g., Bash) or other cross-platform tools.
- Document built-in tasks or patterns for Linux/macOS environments, such as support for Bash, apt, yum, or Homebrew.
- Clarify whether non-Windows images and customization tasks are supported, and if so, provide parity in schema and example coverage.
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments, or explicitly state platform limitations.
- If PowerShell is the only supported scripting language, make this clear and provide guidance for Linux users (e.g., PowerShell Core on Linux).
