Use for any question about a codebase, its architecture, file relationships, or project content โ especially when graphify-out/ exists, where the question should be treated as a graphify query first. Turns any input (code, docs, papers, images, videos) into a persistent knowledge graph with god nodes, community detection, and query/path/explain tools.
Scaffold a new helper script in local/bin/ with proper boilerplate, msgr sourcing, and documentation tag.
Scaffold a bats test file in tests/<script>.bats matching a script in local/bin/<script>. Use when adding tests for an existing script that lacks coverage.
Scaffold a new theme handler in config/theme/handlers.d/<app>. Use when adding dark/light theme support for an app the orchestrator does not yet flip.
Validate fish scripts after editing. Apply when writing or modifying any .fish file in config/fish/.
Scaffold a new fish function in config/fish/functions/ with proper conventions and event handling.

When creating host-specific configuration overrides:
hostname -s
Host overrides live in hosts/<hostname>/ mirroring the
global layout:
hosts/<hostname>/
base/ -> ~/.*
config/ -> ~/.config/
install.conf.yaml
If it doesn't exist, create hosts/<hostname>/install.conf.yaml
following the Dotbot format. Use include to layer on top of
the global config:
- defaults:
link:
create: true
relink: true
force: true
The most common override is hosts/<hostname>/config/git/overrides/config.
This is where host-specific git user, signing keys, and credential
helpers go. Always [include] the shared config:
[include]
path = ~/.dotfiles/config/git/shared
Run ./install to apply. Dotbot processes
hosts/<hostname>/install.conf.yaml after the global config.
