The Autonomous Agent Prompting Framework

This repository contains a disciplined, evidence-first prompting framework designed to elevate an Agentic AI from a simple command executor to an Autonomous Principal Engineer.

The philosophy is simple: Autonomy through discipline. Trust through verification.

This framework is not just a collection of prompts; it is a complete operational system for managing AI agents. It enforces a rigorous workflow of reconnaissance, planning, safe execution, and self-improvement, ensuring every action the agent takes is deliberate, verifiable, and aligned with senior engineering best practices.

I also have Claude Code prompting for your reference: https://gist.github.com/aashari/1c38e8c7766b5ba81c3a0d4d124a2f58

Retrieving VMware Workstation VM encryption passwords saved in the the Windows Credential Manager

When creating an encrypted VM, VMware Workstation gives you the option to remember the password. It does this by storing the password in the Windows Credential Manager.

VMware does not provide a way to retrieve this stored password, but it can be accessed via the Win32 CredReadW API function.

There are a number of PowerShell projects including PowerShell Credential Manager which provide access to this API, but in testing I found they were unable to correctly display the VMware password.

This PowerShell example has been tested using Windows PowerShell (v5.1) and PowerShell (v7) using VMwa

Setup Hyper-V enhanced session for Ubuntu 20

I couldn't find instructions that were 100% complete, so I put this together.

These instructions worked fine for me. Follow each step carefully.

Download Ubuntu 20 desktop

DO NOT create the VM by choosing Quick Create in Hyper-V Manager. Follow these instructions exactly.

WSL2 with GUI using Xvnc

Note

If you want to use pure WSLg, you can try the new WSLg (XWayland) tutorial or the WSLg (Wayland) tutorial.

In this tutorial, we will setup GUI in WSL2, and access it using VNC. No additional software outside WSL (like VcXsrv) is required, except, of course, a VNC Viewer (RealVNC, TightVNC, TigerVNC, UVNC, etc, all of them might work flawlessly).

The key component we need to install is the desktop metapackage you want (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, Budgie, etc) and tigervnc-standalone-server.

For this setup, I will use Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04 and 24.04 are working), and install GNOME Desktop. Since the key components aren't bound to Ubuntu or GNOME, you can use your favorite distro and GUI. Check the [Sample
