Agent Skills

Agent skills live under .agents/skills/.

Skill	Source	Description
pilotty	msmps/pilotty	Terminal TUI automation through managed PTY sessions
opentui	msmps/opentui-skill	Building terminal user interfaces with OpenTUI
build-skill	Fork of dmmulroy/build-skill	Modified with updated file size guidelines, progressive disclosure patterns, and platform skill docs aligned to real-world reference implementations

Setup

git clone git@github.com:msmps/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

Install symlinks

Stow creates symlinks in ~ mirroring the directory structure of this repo. From within the repo:

cd ~/dotfiles
stow .

This will create symlinks like ~/.zshrc -> dotfiles/.zshrc, ~/.agents -> dotfiles/.agents, etc.

Conflicts

If stow reports conflicts because a target already exists as a real file or directory, remove (or back up) the conflicting path first:

rm -rf ~/.agents   # or mv ~/.agents ~/.agents.bak
cd ~/dotfiles
stow .

Re-stow after changes

After adding or restructuring files in the repo, re-run stow to update symlinks:

cd ~/dotfiles
stow --restow .
