Add completion information for existing CLI utility?

Question

For example, I would like to add completion to adb so that when I hit Tab after adb I can see sub-commands like shell and install. In Bash or Zsh the completion is always in separate file, so this is not an issue. How do I do similar thing in PowerShell (if ever possible)?

You can't. PowerShell uses the IntelliSense engine. You *could* create aliases, however — Maximilian Burszley, Oct 24 '17 at 15:56

Use TabExpansion++.

There is precedent for using a script to generate completers for native commands (see here).

(The comment about PowerShell using Intellisense is incorrect.)
