What it does

PAX Cookbook · the full app

• Guided recipe workflows for common PAX collection patterns
• Local-first operational model — runs on your machine, against your tenant
• Orchestrates the PAX PowerShell script without changing how it executes
• Helps prepare credential-aware local runs
• Organized output structure so results are easy to locate and reuse
• Logs, history, and run management for repeatable operational use
• Reduces script-parameter guesswork and makes PAX workflows easier to repeat

Mini-Kitchen · browser companion

A separate, web-based helper for people who run the PAX PowerShell script on their own. Mini-Kitchen is not the PAX Cookbook app.

• Runs entirely in your browser
• Builds copy-ready PAX PowerShell commands from guided options
• Surfaces warnings, assumptions, notes, and the permissions a command requires
• Saves recipes locally in your browser and restores your latest draft
• Exports .paxlite files for later import into the full Cookbook

> Note: Mini-Kitchen does not run PAX, connect to your tenant, collect credentials, or validate paths or permissions. It builds commands you copy and run yourself.
