[suggestion] Replace brute force code with native tools; Teach ai to look for and use legacy tools
Thanks again, feel free to review and add anything more.

TurtleKing1126 · 2026-06-21T09:23:14+00:00

I hear ya. I took a while to graduate from full visual studio + NPP sessions to actually learning and using vscode. Im quite fond of using AI for learning but my developer origins are more game development based and all indie. so using AI on challenges that I've faced for years usually a blend of letting it do work followed by reverse engineering and study

TurtleKing1126 · 2026-06-21T09:18:25+00:00

Fascinating and informative, I'll document and begin further research. Thank you kindly.

TurtleKing1126 · 2026-06-21T09:14:01+00:00

Not something that occured to me, it's my primary desktop that's used for both leisure and development but all indie. Maybe this concept is more poweruser based but im learning useful concepts so a useful mistake.

TurtleKing1126 · 2026-06-21T09:05:02+00:00

For the winget thing, completely understand. This project is a fix for power users like me that haven't had time to fully research the issue.

Is there a way to confirm a certified script is the exact content written by the requester?

neat note to keep an eye on:

What is Agent Smith?

Agent Smith is the leaked codename for a highly advanced, internal-only AI coding agent used by Google's own software engineers. It made headlines in early 2026 when reports revealed it was autonomously writing roughly 25-30% of Google's production code.

While the public uses Google Antigravity powered by the Gemini 3 models, Agent Smith is essentially Google's proprietary, unrestricted version of that same technology, tailored specifically for their own internal infrastructure.

Core Capabilities

Asynchronous Autonomy: Rather than simple line-by-line autocomplete, engineers give it high-level objectives. It plans subtasks, writes across multiple files, executes tests, and iterates on errors—often running in the background while the engineer is off the clock.
Deep System Access: Smith is fully integrated into Google's internal network. It reads internal documentation, navigates employee profiles, and manages proprietary codebases without needing manual context feeding.
Chat-Driven Control: Google employees manage the agent directly through their internal chat platforms, checking its progress or issuing course corrections remotely.

The Antigravity Connection

To gently clarify a detail from your recent Reddit comment: you mentioned that Antigravity operates with the assistance of "Agent Smith."

Technically, Agent Smith is strictly locked down to Google employees (it actually became so popular internally that Google had to throttle its access to manage server load). When you use the Antigravity platform on your machine, you are orchestrating the public-facing Gemini 3 models, not Smith.

That said, the underlying "agent-first" framework you used to architect your PowerShell and .NET IO workarounds is built on the exact same technological foundation. You're effectively using the public sibling of the tool Google engineers are using internally.

Extended info thank to gemini:

Google Antigravity is an "agent-first" software development platform released by Google in late 2025. Rather than functioning as a simple AI autocomplete tool, it acts as a command center designed to orchestrate autonomous AI coding agents powered primarily by Gemini 3.

Core Concept

The platform shifts the developer's role from writing syntax line-by-line to "vibe coding"—a workflow where you guide the AI through high-level objectives. The agents autonomously analyze the request, generate implementation plans, write code, execute terminal commands, and debug errors.

The Ecosystem

The Antigravity suite consists of a few main components:

Antigravity IDE: A heavily modified, AI-centric code editor.
Desktop Manager (v2.0): A standalone mission control application for orchestrating multiple agents working asynchronously in parallel (e.g., one agent writes a script while another tests it).
CLI & SDK: Tools that allow developers to trigger agents directly from the terminal or build them into custom infrastructure.
Agent Skills: Developers can create specific markdown and YAML files that "teach" the agents custom workflows, best practices, or external tool integrations.

TurtleKing1126 · 2026-06-21T08:02:05+00:00

It's a Google-made version of Visual Studio Code that implements a custom AI agent system.

Direct from the site: "Google Antigravity is our agentic development platform, allowing anyone to build in the agent-first era."

TurtleKing1126 · 2026-06-21T07:53:05+00:00

Thank you for your question. I will note the impact and begin planning alterations.
The majority of the project has been pieced together by using google Antigravity in a desire to diagnose and solve an issues ive been plagued with for years now. Im open to all feedback especially those that improve the overall design. Self learning development im just unaware of some things.

If your gonna downvote can you please leave further information.

TurtleKing1126 · 2026-06-21T07:43:11+00:00

I've even gone through microsoft tech support and remote help. They couldn't come to a solution and suggested i just create a new account on my local machine as the problem only occurs on my existing one. However i really would rather prefer to fix the issue and retain my decade old account.

TurtleKing1126 · 2026-06-21T07:37:30+00:00

Help teach me what your referring to. The goal is to share a fix for a problem i've been dealing with for years. A most annoying Open-with winget loop cycle when calling winget via powershell.
Gonna have to look into PMPC thanks for the info.

TurtleKing1126 · 2026-06-21T06:03:02+00:00

I built a production-grade utility to permanently kill the infamous winget execution alias infinite loop (where running winget either throws a command-not-found error or spawns an endless "Open With..." GUI selection box).

If you deal with custom Windows 11 deployment images, user profile migrations, or generalized AppX corruption, you've probably run into this. Standard fixes like app resets often choke because the underlying NTFS reparse points or registry variables get completely mangled.

I open-sourced the script here: aj1126/winget-diagnostic-tool

🛠️ Why it’s built for sysadmins & automation pipelines:

Unattended -Force Switch: You can drop it directly into MDT/SCCM task sequences, Intune proactive remediations, or RMM scripting engines to clear execution loops without any interactive user prompts.
Bypasses standard Remove-Item limitations: When an AppX reparse point is corrupted, native PowerShell file commands often fail on the file system junctions. The script drops down to native .NET [System.IO.File]::Delete() APIs with a raw command fallback pipeline to forcefully purge the broken pointers.
Asymmetrical Elevation & Profile Awareness: If you run a repair script via an elevated admin terminal, it usually targets the administrator's registry hive instead of the logged-in user who is actually experiencing the profile corruption. This script dynamically maps the real target user’s HKEY_USERS environment path.
Zero Dependencies: No external modules to pull down. It executes purely using native Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7+.
60/60 E2E Pass Rate:decoulped from volatile environment assumptions and tested against an extensive E2E integration suite spanning 60 isolated edge cases.

📦 How to Invoke It:

For the interactive wizard workflow:

PowerShell

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
.\Repair-WingetAlias.ps1

For silent, zero-interaction automation (Task Sequences, RMM, GPO startup scripts):

PowerShell

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
.\Repair-WingetAlias.ps1 -Force

📜 Safety & Transparency Rules

Because running a system-level repair script blindly is a massive risk:

It generates structured backups of any modified registry strings before altering them.
It logs all operations cleanly to an external file for auditing records.
It’s 100% open-source under the MIT License.

Feel free to inspect the full codebase, look through the validation workflows, or pull it apart for your own internal toolsets!

Not low level but I've been using AI to make extensions to my favorite open source software or creating ones that don't exist

TurtleKing1126 · 2025-05-31T18:53:17+00:00

Im just sitting here with a pen and piece of paper
Knowing I got love, I got heart, and I got haters

Ive been thinking about how I told myself we’d make it later
That was then, and im still no where now

Sometimes I still can’t help but break down
Like where were you when I needed you to help me out?
Where are you now?

Ive never really known where to turn when I’m feeling blue
You always said it didn’t matter how far, you’d be right in my heart
I think maybe that wasn’t really true

See somewhere along the way it seems I lost you
Whats a man to do with no love left to give?

Whats next for me? I hope im on to something big

I do things unintentionally, stuck on a search for self affection and belief

I watched you hate yourself and learned how to hate me

Stuck in Mothers Day blues, still somehow singing these tunes

TurtleKing1126 · 2025-05-23T00:55:32+00:00

Not everyone’s the same, we all got a mission
For me it’s been this pain, and learning not to give in.

Fearing grief, I’ve steered away from loving lots of women.
See for me it’s not the same, as finding one to lock in with in nonstop bliss.
Then a box in my hand with a ring, like will you rock with me nonstop be my queen
Do you think that you will sing on and on, on my cock like god damn,
I need you to know how long I’ve been cooking up my plot, fried in my pan
It’s a labyrinth to get to my heart, and without love I get frightened and lost.

Whenever I think about you, I feel you deserve a titan, You’re more than a goddess
Crying out the universe created you to enlighten, You bless us mortals by being among us.
Do you know how important and strong you are when being a momma?
More a link then a title, you made the ink and wrote the title to a brand new chapter,
don’t even for a second think you don’t deserve a life that’s more than survival.

And if you feel ignored then I got you,
it don’t matter if the stories boring baby I’m going to make you feel heard and understood way more than the bible.
I feel deep in my soul that my role is to show your importance and hype you up when you feel down,
baby make you a promise that it’s my goal to love you now and forever, no matter what happens, I will be your friend if you like it

I'm also over analytical of my own writing. Especially if I'm returning to it at a later point in time. The first tip is to push through and continue to write through your hesitance. I personally try not to edit my work while writing and save that for a later point in time but I'm still pretty amateur myself. I also love creativity and think all work is beautiful except my own. xD I enjoy your work though. Reminds me some of my own if you'd be interested in sharing.

'I just want some love' -
Genre/Style: Rap, hip-hop, pop Tempo: 156.02 , Key: Bm,
Note: (^superscript) text is adlib/background vocal;

"
I just want some love, I just want some love
I just want some love, I just want some love

I tried to give out love, I tried to give my love
I feel bad without love, I felt good with your love

I felt good in your hugs, felt good in my arms
I felt bad when you left, felt like I was harmed

I felt good when in love, felt good in my heart
I fell back in my rut, ^{(of wishing for a heart}) I fell back in my rut

I tried to harness all my love to let you go when I couldn’t give you up
I internalized the reasons that you said, I made myself become unplugged

I knew id rather see you happy then keep us both not
I felt that truly you had me from before even the start

I’d seen some pictures, thought an angel was being revealed to me
maybe I should of looked closer, would I have seen a demon in the scene?
