This is a little new to me. I've run scripts and batch files, and Bash shell scripts back in the day. But not PowerShell on my own machine, as opposed to a work machine. This is more my wife's wheelhouse. She's a senior SW quality engineer at her company.
Problem with setting the bar for competency is that most people don't know how incompetent they are. LOL They will follow your basic instructions, hit a wall like I did, and then bug you about it. This is where I'd come in. I've written lots of reqs, test procedures, API documentation, and user guides. With writing guides, one of the cardinal rules is, do it well enough that the user doesn't need to reach out to customer service for help in how to use the SW. AKA keep the phones from ringing, so to speak.
I think the instructions might warrant some kind of brief heads up about execution policies. Maybe reference a short appendix of some sort. But it's your call. I'm sure you don't want to make this into a huge deal. With legal disclaimers and yadda yadda LOL Actually, "Use at your own risk" might not be a terrible idea. CMA
We could do a zoom call at some point. It'd be a good idea. I did start a Word doc to cover this stuff. Mostly for fun, just because I like doing it. Probably the same reason you developed this script package.
