Use this skill to apply the canonical risk-gated dotfiles workflow when work is broad, autonomous, high-risk, or multi-session; when the user tags AGENT_WORKFLOW.md; or when repeated agent friction needs durable guidance.

About this skill
This skill implements a standardized, risk-gated workflow for managing dotfiles changes. It prevents errors during broad, autonomous, or high-risk tasks by enforcing structured worklogs, plan gates, and verification steps. Use this skill for multi-session projects, when the AGENT_WORKFLOW.md tag is present, or when complex changes require durable guidance to reduce agent friction.

Dotfiles agent workflow
Read AGENT_WORKFLOW.md; it is the source of truth.
Apply
- Route through root and nearest nested
AGENTS.md. - For qualifying work, copy
.agents/worklogs/TEMPLATE.mdand record the outcome, stopping condition, risks, and verification surfaces. - Before high-risk implementation, run the plan gate. Record an exact blocker; never silently skip it.
- Follow the implementation and documentation sections. For qualifying work, keep the worklog current with decisions and evidence.
- For qualifying work, run the full landing gate in
AGENT_WORKFLOW.md. Otherwise, run focused checks and the landing steps required by rootAGENTS.md.
