Chezmoi Creator
This skill is an operating guide for creating and maintaining chezmoi-managed dotfile repositories.
Default assumption: the user wants a working source state, not a broad tutorial. Prefer producing or modifying concrete chezmoi files over explaining the tool abstractly.
Mandatory planning
Before creating or changing chezmoi-managed files, make a concise plan that covers:
- target platforms: Linux, macOS, Windows, Codespaces, or a subset
- target files and directories to manage
- whether each target should be a regular file, template, symlink, script, create file, modify file, or external
- whether secrets, encryption, or machine-specific data are involved
- whether hooks are needed, or whether a normal chezmoi script is sufficient
If secrets or sensitive data are involved, load references/security-practices.md before designing the source state.
