How to use
- Pick one primary skill for the task.
- Invoke it explicitly (e.g.
@refactoring) or describe the work type.
- Do not load overlapping pairs as equal guidance — see COMPATIBILITY.md.
NixOS precedence
For /etc/nixos changes, use @edit-nixos first. Book rules apply to general code quality within Nix module constraints.
Source files
Each book has mini, nano, and full versions under ../agent-rules-books/. Skills use mini as active rules; full is reference only.
