So they recommend that you debloat your TV by pasting a rather lengthy prompt into your coding agent, that'll take a long time to sort things out.

And then, near the bottom of the page, they provide a 9 lines of shell script that according to them does "everything the agent does". Uhh.. okay? I guess the agent would be for trouble shooting, but I'm not really sold on this modern of delivering software yet.

I don’t know, I think that I might prefer the prompt over the slop it produces.

At least the slop it produces would be deterministic.

Give it time. Someone will make a website referencing TV make/models to match BASH scripts doing the job cleanly, predictably. :)

This is cool, but beware this takes a long time to complete even with an agent.

And the result I didn't find particularly pretty to look at

a lot of folks are trying this and am glad we finally have options!
