Show HN: ZkzkAgent now has safe, local package management

Zakaria_Gamal Sunday, February 22, 2026

I built zkzkAgent as a fully offline, privacy-first AI assistant for Linux (LangGraph + Ollama, no cloud). It already does natural language file/process/service management, Wi-Fi healing, voice I/O, and human-in-the-loop safety for risky actions.

Just added package management with these goals:

- 100% local/offline capable (no web search required for known packages) - Human confirmation for every install/remove/upgrade - Smart fallback order to avoid conflicts: 1. Special cases (Postman → snap, VSCode → snap --classic, Discord → snap/flatpak, etc.) 2. Flatpak preferred for GUI apps 3. Snap when flatpak unavailable 4. apt only for CLI/system tools - Checks if already installed before proposing anything - Dry-run style preview + full command output shown - No blind execution — always asks "yes/no" for modifications

Example flow for "install postman": → Detects OS & internet (once) → Recognizes snap path → proposes "sudo snap install postman" → Shows preview & asks confirmation → Runs only after "yes" → Verifies with "postman --version"

Would love feedback, especially: - What other packages/tools should have special handling? - Should it prefer flatpak even more aggressively? - Any scary edge cases I missed?

Thanks!
