# CLAUDE.md

macOS dev environment automation: dotfiles, AI agent configs, skills, and dev stacks.

## Commands

Run `make help` to list targets and `hal --help` for the CLI.

Use `make` targets instead of running the underlying commands directly. They chain the right tools with the right flags.

## Gotchas

- **Edit under `dotfiles/`, never under `~/`**: `hal sync` symlinks every `links` entry in `dotfiles/hal_dotfiles.json` into `~/`, so an edit to a linked path is live immediately. A new file outside a linked directory needs its own entry plus `hal sync` before anything references it.

- **Edits under `skills/` and `plugins/` are not live until published**: Claude Code loads them from the `hal-9000` marketplace on GitHub (see `dotfiles/.claude/settings.json`), and other coding agents install `skills/` via `npx skills add vinta/hal-9000`. Publish with a version bump (the `publish-plugins` skill) for a change to reach either.

- All skill descriptions must start with `Use when` (may have a `(project)` prefix if it's a project-level skill).

- For generated artifacts such as zsh completion, regenerate them with the repo command instead of editing them by hand (e.g. `make hal-completion` after modifying `bin/hal.py`).

## External Tool Documentation

Invoke the `find-docs` skill BEFORE writing code or config that touches the tools below, not only when asked about them. Do not answer from training data, even for familiar tools. Use `WebFetch` for user-provided URLs and the documentation links below.

### Context7 Library IDs

Pre-resolved IDs for the `find-docs` skill. Pass directly to `ctx7 docs`, skipping the `ctx7 library` step:
