The author asked an AI to build a native PowerShell interface for a third-party toolkit.
- The AI read the docs and produced a plan.
- Then it proactively suggested adding argument completion for some parameters.
- The takeaway: it wasn’t just trying to make the task work, but to make it feel native to PowerShell.
- The post frames this as evidence that coding assistants are moving beyond autocomplete into taste and UX awareness.
