"Let's Talk PS Cresendo" Powershell
summary
PowerShell Crescendo turns native CLIs into real PowerShell modules by writing a JSON schema and running export-crescendo-module to produce psd1/psm1 files; examples show OpenSSL pkcs12 -> pfx via an exported convert-openSslCertificate command, vagrant global status -> objects with an outputHandler that regex-parses lines into PSObjects, and wrappers for cloudflare d and Chocolatey. Notes: password handling for openssl is quirky, output parsers must be dot-sourced into the session, and filtering inside handlers is limited; tooling is useful but still a bit buggy.
