FAQPage Schema

How do I migrate Claude skills and commands from dotfiles to home-manager?▼

Migrate Claude assets by copying skills and commands into home-manager managed directories, adding corresponding home.file entries, and establishing symlinks to ~/.claude paths. This consolidates Claude-related configuration under home-manager for easier maintenance and deployment across macOS and devbox.

Can I use home-manager to organize Claude assets on macOS and devbox?▼

Yes. Home-manager manages Claude assets by symlink, directing them to ~/.claude paths on both macOS and devbox. This approach ensures environment consistency and centralizes Claude skill and command references without external dependencies.

What's the best way to keep Claude dotfiles and home-manager in sync?▼

Move Claude assets into home-manager's declarative configuration, update home.file entries to reference the new locations, and remove parallel dotfile management. This single-source-of-truth approach eliminates sync friction and simplifies asset deployment.

Do I need external tools to migrate Claude assets to home-manager?▼

No. The migration requires no external dependencies. Home-manager handles file copying, symlink establishment, and asset wiring natively, simplifying the process to configuration changes and file reorganization.

Why should I move Claude skills from dotfiles to home-manager?▼

Home-manager provides declarative, reproducible asset management, eliminating manual dotfile maintenance. Centralizing Claude skills, commands, and references reduces configuration drift and accelerates onboarding across development workstations.
