description	Install or reimage NixOS from live media; progressively disclose per-hardware steps. Trigger when in a live/rescue shell preparing a fresh install.

NixOS Install (incremental)

Start here; branch into sub-skills (e.g., apple-silicon) when the hardware requires it.

Meta: only record steps we have actually performed; after each new verified step, update this skill or the appropriate sub-skill.

Steps we have confirmed

• Hardware-specific install commands live in sub-skills (e.g., see apple-silicon for macbookpro2025).

To-do (fill in after we perform them)

• Entirely replace our hacky installer with the declarative approach described by Michael Stapelberg (2025-06-01) for new systems: https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2025-06-01-nixos-installation-declarative/ — adopt once we’ve run it end-to-end.
• ARM/PinePhone installer
