Atmos Root Configuration

Use this skill for the root mechanics of atmos.yaml: how Atmos finds config files, merges them, resolves project-relative paths, imports modular config, and routes section-specific work to the right skill. Do not use this skill as a catchall for every atmos.yaml section.

Configuration Discovery

Atmos searches for atmos.yaml in this order:

1. --config CLI flag or ATMOS_CLI_CONFIG_PATH.
2. Active profile selected by --profile or ATMOS_PROFILE.
3. Current working directory.
4. Git repository root.
5. Parent directory walk.
6. Home directory.
7. System directory.
