SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Cross-platform terminal setup by providing a small, consistent set of shortcuts (proxy management, persistent path navigation, and GPU status checks) so developers can bootstrap machines quickly and reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Proxy management: proxy_on / proxy_off to toggle env vars and Git proxy settings.
  • Persistent path shortcuts: goto to add/list/cd shortcuts for quick navigation.
  • GPU status: gpu wrapper to run nvidia-smi when available.
  • Optional Conda auto-activation: hook to activate a Conda environment on shell startup.
  • Platform coverage: designed for Windows PowerShell, CMD, macOS, and Linux shell rc files.

Quick Start

Add the shell-shortcuts to your shell startup file and verify with proxy_on, goto list, and gpu.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up terminal proxy management across Windows, macOS, and Linux?

Terminal proxy management across Windows, macOS, and Linux is handled by adding the Skill to your shell startup file. This provides proxy_on and proxy_off commands to toggle environment variables and Git proxy settings consistently across operating systems.

Can I create persistent path shortcuts for quick directory navigation in PowerShell and CMD?

Yes, persistent path shortcuts for quick directory navigation in PowerShell and CMD are supported. The goto command allows you to add, list, and cd into saved directory shortcuts, ensuring reliable path navigation across different shell environments.

What is the best way to check GPU status from the terminal during workstation setup?

Checking GPU status from the terminal during workstation setup is done using the gpu wrapper. This command runs nvidia-smi when available, allowing developers to perform quick GPU checks while provisioning new machines.

How do I auto-activate a Conda environment on shell startup across different operating systems?

Auto-activating a Conda environment on shell startup across different operating systems is achieved through an optional hook provided by the Skill. This hook integrates into your shell rc files to automatically activate the specified environment.

Does this terminal setup approach work with both PowerShell and Linux shell rc files?

Yes, this terminal setup approach works with both PowerShell and Linux shell rc files. It is designed specifically for cross-platform coverage, supporting Windows PowerShell, CMD, macOS, and Linux shell startup configurations.
