This Skill prevents you from breaking your dotfiles workflow by ensuring you edit the correct chezmoi source-of-truth files instead of directly changing deployed targets.

To prevent configuration drift, edit the chezmoi source state files instead of deployed targets. Modify files in the source directory, preview changes with diff and status, then run apply to safely update your home directory.
Chezmoi filename prefixes like run_ and run_onchange_ define script hook semantics. The run_ prefix executes scripts, run_onchange_ triggers scripts when content changes, and run_once_ ensures scripts execute only a single time during apply.
You can map a deployed dotfile target to its source path using the chezmoi source-path command. This ensures you locate and edit the correct source-of-truth file before applying changes to your home directory.
The safest workflow for applying dotfile changes is to edit the source state, use chezmoi status and diff to preview pending changes, and then execute chezmoi apply to synchronize the deployed targets in your home directory.
Changes disappear after running chezmoi apply if you edited the deployed target directly instead of the source state. You must modify the corresponding source file in the chezmoi source directory to preserve changes during synchronization.
Yes, you can use templates and script hooks together in chezmoi. You apply template and data conventions to source files while using script prefix semantics like run_onchange_ to execute logic when templated configurations change.
