Cellix aims to run coding agents in real Windows projects
Cellix is presented as a way to fix a common mismatch when work on Windows projects. Cursor’s Windows sandbox is described as running inside WSL2, so the agent uses a Linux environment instead of the project’s real Windows tools such as node.exe, npm.cmd, and MSVC. Claude Code is also described as not supporting native Windows use, with guidance to run it inside a WSL2 instead.
Cellix aims to provide a native Windows sandbox where the agent can use the host machine’s Node.js, npm, and MSVC directly. The suggested install command is npm install cellix.
Key points
- Cellix positions itself as a native Windows sandbox for .
- Cursor on Windows is described as using WSL2, which means the agent runs in Linux rather than true Windows.
- Claude Code is described as requiring WSL2 on Windows instead of native Windows support.
- Cellix aims to let agents use node.exe, npm.cmd, and MSVC from the Windows host.
- The benefit is mainly fewer Windows environment problems, not direct reduction.
