Expand-Archive : The 'Expand-Archive' command was found in the module 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive'.
FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoloadMatchingModule
Plugins
None required.
OpenCode version
Current dev / Windows build.

rg.exeis removed from%LOCALAPPDATA%\\opencode\\bin. - Run opencode.
- Load a skill, for example
context7. - Observe skill loading fail while ripgrep extraction calls PowerShell
Expand-Archive.
