This Skill helps you configure the Sway window manager by guiding keybindings, window rules, outputs, inputs, and workspace setups. It reduces the cognitive load of manual edits and keeps your environment consistent.

Core Features & Use Cases

Output & Input: Configure displays and input devices for a smooth Wayland experience.
Startup & Reload: Set programs to run on startup and reload the config when changes are made.
