Dotfile backup, sync, and version control with chezmoi. Tracks shell configs (.zshrc, .bashrc, .zshenv), git (.gitconfig), editors (helix, vim, nvim), terminal tools (broot, starship, alacritty, kitty, wezterm), and XDG .config/ files. Operations include track, add, sync, push, pull, backup, restore, status, diff, re-add. Setup for chezmoi init, dotfiles remote, GitHub private repository, cross-machine sync, multi-account SSH. Handles merge conflicts, secret detection, Go templates.
/plugin marketplace add terrylica/cc-skills/plugin install terrylica-dotfiles-tools-plugins-dotfiles-tools@terrylica/cc-skillsThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
references/configuration.mdreferences/prompt-patterns.mdreferences/secret-detection.mdreferences/setup.md| Component | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Source | $(chezmoi source-path) | Git repository with dotfile templates |
| Target | ~/ | Home directory (deployed files) |
| Remote | GitHub (private recommended) | Cross-machine sync and backup |
| Config | ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml | User preferences and settings |
chezmoi source-path # Show source directory
chezmoi git -- remote -v # Show GitHub remote
chezmoi status # Show drift between source and target
chezmoi managed | wc -l # Count tracked files
After editing a config file, add it to chezmoi:
chezmoi status # 1. Verify file shows as modified
chezmoi diff ~/.zshrc # 2. Review changes
chezmoi add ~/.zshrc # 3. Add to source (auto-commits if configured)
chezmoi git -- log -1 --oneline # 4. Verify commit created
chezmoi git -- push # 5. Push to remote
Add a previously untracked config file:
chezmoi add ~/.config/app/config.toml # 1. Add file to source
chezmoi managed | grep app # 2. Verify in managed list
chezmoi git -- push # 3. Push to remote
Pull changes from GitHub and apply to home directory:
chezmoi update # 1. Pull + apply (single command)
chezmoi verify # 2. Verify all files match source
chezmoi status # 3. Confirm no drift
Bulk sync all modified tracked files to remote:
chezmoi status # 1. Review all drift
chezmoi re-add # 2. Re-add all managed files (auto-commits)
chezmoi git -- push # 3. Push to remote
brew install chezmoi # macOS
/usr/bin/env bash << 'CONFIG_EOF'
chezmoi init # Create empty source
chezmoi add ~/.zshrc ~/.gitconfig # Add first files
gh repo create dotfiles --private --source="$(chezmoi source-path)" --push
CONFIG_EOF
chezmoi init git@github.com:<user>/dotfiles.git
chezmoi apply # Deploy to home directory
Move source to custom location (e.g., for multi-account SSH):
/usr/bin/env bash << 'SKILL_SCRIPT_EOF'
mv "$(chezmoi source-path)" ~/path/to/dotfiles
SKILL_SCRIPT_EOF
Edit ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml:
sourceDir = "~/path/to/dotfiles"
Verify:
chezmoi source-path # Should show new location
Switch to different GitHub account or repository:
chezmoi git -- remote -v # View current
chezmoi git -- remote set-url origin git@github.com:<user>/<repo>.git # Change
chezmoi git -- push -u origin main # Push to new remote
/usr/bin/env bash << 'GIT_EOF'
chezmoi git -- status # 1. Identify conflicted files
chezmoi git -- diff # 2. Review conflicts
# Manually edit files in $(chezmoi source-path)
chezmoi git -- add <resolved-files> # 3. Stage resolved files
chezmoi git -- commit -m "Resolve merge conflict"
chezmoi apply # 4. Apply to home directory
chezmoi git -- push # 5. Push resolution
GIT_EOF
After major operations, verify system state:
chezmoi verify # Exit 0 = all files match source
chezmoi diff # Empty = no drift
chezmoi managed # Lists all tracked files
chezmoi git -- log --oneline -3 # Recent commit history

Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
