Symlink Manager — Cross-Platform Skill
The Core Problem
Git symlinks break across platforms because:
| Issue | macOS/Linux | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Git setting | core.symlinks=true (default) |
core.symlinks=false (default, unless Dev Mode enabled) |
| Link type | ln -s symlink |
NTFS symlink or Junction Point |
| Permissions | Any user | Requires Developer Mode or admin elevation |
| Git behaviour | Stores as symlink object | Stores as plain text file containing the target path |
When core.symlinks=false, Git checks out a symlink as a plain text file whose contents are the target path. When you then git pull on the other machine, that text file arrives instead of a real link — silent, no error.

(Industry standard: Loop Agent / Single Agent) Primary Use Case: Self-contained research, content generation, and exploration where no inner delegation is required. Self-directed research and knowledge capture loop. Use when: starting a session (Orientation), performing research (Synthesis), or closing a session (Seal, Persist, Retrospective). Ensures knowledge survives across isolated agent sessions.
