Windows Desktop App · Version 3.0

Your PowerShell Workbench. Ready for the Next Step.

PSForge Desktop 3.0 adds Ops Suite to help you move from script creation to operational preparation. Check environments, preview potential impact, review credentials and compatibility, and generate tests and runbooks alongside the workbench you already use.

What's new in 3.0

New Ops Suite

Bring environment checks, impact preview, credential review, tests, documentation, and operational tools into your PowerShell workbench.

Expanded Command Library 2.0

Continue your scripting workflow with an expanded Command Library experience.

More consistent language support

Improved multilingual support across the app helps make everyday navigation more consistent.

AI in your selected language

Choose your language in App Settings and receive AI responses in that language.

Faster workspace switching

Move between Work, Library, and Ops with faster tab switching.

Refined desktop layouts

Desktop layout fixes improve the experience across the workbench.

Ops Suite

Ops Suite brings the checks, tests, and documentation around your PowerShell script into the desktop workbench. These tools support deliberate review and preparation; the sequence is not automatic and is not an approval or execution pipeline.

Environment and Risk Review

  • Environment Doctor — Check environment readiness before working through a PowerShell task.
  • Impact preview — Review potential effects before executing a script.
  • Credential leak detection — Help identify potential exposed credentials in scripts.
  • Compatibility checks — Review potential compatibility issues before using a script in its intended environment.

Tests and Documentation

  • Pester test generation — Generate Pester tests as a starting point for validating script behavior.
  • Runbook generation — Generate operational documentation to support repeatable execution and handoff.
  • Rollback guidance — Prepare guidance for responding when a planned change needs to be reversed.

Modernization and Packaging

  • Script modernization — Get help updating existing PowerShell scripts.
  • Packaging — Use packaging tools as part of preparing scripts for use or distribution.
  • Dependency review — Review dependencies that matter to preparing and using a script.

Data and Recurring Work

  • CSV mapping — Use CSV mapping tools to prepare data-driven scripting workflows.
  • Scheduling — Use scheduling tools to prepare recurring PowerShell tasks.
  • Certification tools — Use the product's certification tools; the meaning and output of a result depend on the confirmed product behavior.

Illustrative workflow: Prepare your next onboarding script with more context.

This is an example workflow. The operator performs and reviews each step; the sequence is illustrative, not an automatic pipeline. Generated tests and guidance still require validation in an appropriate environment.

  1. Build or open the PowerShell script in Work.
  2. Use CSV mapping to prepare the input mapping.
  3. Review environment, compatibility, dependency, and potential credential issues with the relevant Ops tools.
  4. Review potential impact and address findings.
  5. Generate Pester tests and review and run them in an appropriate test environment.
  6. Generate a runbook and review rollback guidance for the planned operation.
