PowerShell Engineer 作者: Jim Tyler

PowerShell Engineer turns short task forms into rigorous, standard-compliant PowerShell prompts and inserts them into the AI chat you already use.

Ask any model for a PowerShell script and you usually get the same four problems: Write-Host where objects belong, no -WhatIf on code that changes state, no pipeline support, and a one-line help block. It runs. It is not something you would want to inherit or ship.

PowerShell Engineer fixes that by construction. Instead of a blank chat box, you pick a task, fill a few fields, and the extension assembles a full prompt that carries the relevant sections of the PowerShell Engineer Standard as its preamble. A live preview in a console-style panel shows exactly what will be sent. One click drops it into the AI chat you selected and submits it.

Tasks
- New script or function
- Module scaffold with one worked example function
- Project plan and file manifest, no code
- Refactor or review existing code, with each finding mapped to a rule
- Diagnose an error and return a corrected, Standard-compliant fix

Set it once
Your Engineer profile applies to every prompt so you never re-enter it: PowerShell version (5.1, 7.x, or both), target OS, module prefix, help depth, error-handling preference, and any organization standards.

Match the platform
A domain selector swaps in the right idioms for Active Directory, Microsoft Graph and Entra, Exchange Online, Intune, DevOps and CI, or security work. You can also set an environment tier (Dev, Test, Prod) and a compliance framework (CIS, STIG, HIPAA, PCI).

Send it anywhere
Targets: GitHub Copilot, Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. The prompt is copied to your clipboard first, so if a chat page changes you paste it and nothing is lost.

Validate the answer
One click sends a review prompt that has the AI check its own last answer against the Standard, argue against its own decisions, flag any cmdlet or parameter it is not sure exists, and mark every change it makes with a comment.

Reply in your language
Pick from 32 languages. The AI writes its explanations and comments in the language you choose while keeping code, cmdlet names, and parameters in English. The panel itself is translated into many of them.

Privacy
No account. No API key. No backend. No telemetry. Your settings stay on your device through the browser's local storage and are never sent anywhere. The extension only touches the six AI chat sites above, and only to place the prompt in the message box.
