# Dotfiles Environment

Owner skill for this machine, this repository, and the agent harness.

## 1. Workflow

1. Inspect the relevant files and `git status`.
2. Open the owner reference below; make the smallest scoped change.
3. Run the nearest check (`nix run '.#check'` for flake changes); report
   verification and remaining risk.
