Agent Instructions

• Never use curl.exe; use PowerShell or .NET-native tooling instead.

Chocolatey AU Packages

• Fix update logic in update.ps1 or supporting scripts only.
• Do not manually edit AU-generated package output such as installer URLs, checksums, checksum types, release notes, or dependency-generated metadata.
• Never manually compute and write package checksums. Checksum updates must be produced by the AU script.
• Never commit any change to a <version> value in a .nuspec file.
• If an AU run changes a .nuspec version during validation, exclude/revert that change before committing and report that AU generated it.
• If the local AU run cannot complete because of missing Chocolatey extensions or environment-specific helpers, report the blocker instead of filling generated fields by hand.
• Before finishing AU package work, review git diff and confirm that no unintended .nuspec version changes or manual checksum changes are present.
• For package-specific commits, prefix the commit subject with the package id in parentheses, followed by a short summary. Example: (intel-arc-graphics-driver) Fix AU update flow.
• For meta-package groups, use the meta package id as the commit prefix when updating all related packages or all related packages except the meta package. For changes limited to one specific package, use that package id instead.

Etiquette Regarding Communication

When requesting support, try to remember that I am a volunteers that have a live outside of open source and I am not paid to ensure things work for you, so please be considerate of my time when you are asking for things. I have a family that also need time as well and only have so much time to give on a daily basis. A little consideration and patience can go a long way. Thanks for understanding.

The Repository layout

This contains Chocolatey packages, both manually and automatically maintained.

Folder Structure

• automatic - where automatic packages are kept. These are packages that are automatically maintained using Chocolatey-AU.
• deprecated - where deprecated packages are kept. These are packages that are no longer maintained.
• extensions - where extensions packages are kept. These are created by me and are manually pushed.
• icons - Where you keep icon files for the packages. This is done to reduce issues when packages themselves move around.
• manual - where packages that are not automatic are kept.
