PSKoans is an interactive PowerShell module that teaches the PowerShell language through a series of failing Pester unit tests called koans. Learners progress from beginner to advanced concepts by filling in code to make each test pass, guided by the Show-Karma command.

Use cases

• learn powershell from scratch interactively
• practice powershell by fixing failing pester tests
• brush up on intermediate and advanced powershell concepts
• teach a powershell workshop with hands-on exercises
• self-study powershell scripting through koans

When to choose

• you want a fun, test-driven way to learn or refresh PowerShell
• you already have PowerShell 5.1+ and can install modules from the gallery
• you learn best by writing code to satisfy failing tests

When to avoid

• you need a structured reference manual rather than exercise-based learning
• you have never used a command line and need guided GUI-based instruction
• you require Pester v5 compatibility without adjustments, as the project targets Pester v4 workflows
