dayz-workdrive

Overview​

Mount P:\ as the DayZ work drive after a Windows boot, without opening DayZ Tools' GUI. Resolves the work drive path via env var, cache, settings.ini, registry, or DayZ Tools install. Idempotent. Windows-only (uses subst).

/dayz-workdrive

Mount P:\ for DayZ modding without DayZ Tools' GUI.

Run​

Direct (preferred, no agent):

scripts\workdrive.bat
scripts\workdrive.bat --path "C:\Path\To\WorkDrive"
scripts\workdrive.bat --unmount

Or call Python directly:

python .claude\skills\dayz-workdrive\mount.py
python .claude\skills\dayz-workdrive\mount.py --path "C:\Path\To\WorkDrive"
python .claude\skills\dayz-workdrive\mount.py --unmount

When​

  • After a Windows boot, before any other DayZ skill (preflight gates on P:\ being mounted).
  • Idempotent: re-running while mounted is a no-op.

Does NOT gate on /dayz-preflight​

Chicken-and-egg: preflight checks for P:, this skill mounts it. Run this first.

Notes​

  • Python (per the L1 "Python by default" rule). Reuses find_dayz_tools from dayz-preflight to avoid duplicating registry/Steam-path probing.
  • Prints the actual WorkDrive.exe /Mount or subst P: command before executing it, so users learn the underlying primitive.
  • Caches the resolved path at .claude/local-memory/dayz-work-drive.json for instant re-runs.
