Process

1. Inventory installed software

   • APT packages: apt list --installed | wc -l

   • AI/ML tools
   • Backup/storage tools

3. Identify gaps and complementary tools

   • For each category, suggest:

     • Missing GUIs that complement existing CLIs
     • Alternative tools that might be better suited
     • Modern replacements for outdated tools

4. Examples of complementary suggestions

   • If docker installed, suggest lazydocker GUI
   • If git installed, suggest gitui or lazygit
   • If code (VS Code) installed, suggest useful extensions
   • If media editing tools installed, suggest codec packages
   • If Python installed, suggest pipx for isolated CLI tools

5. Present recommendations

   • Group by category
   • Explain the benefit of each suggestion
   • Prioritize based on user's existing software patterns
