Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00088 | $0.01525 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00763 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00305 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00153 |
Grade A, and why
managing-chezmoi-packages scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Managing Chezmoi Packages
Adding a dependency here means three things, not one: picking the right ecosystem, pinning it to something immutable, and making sure Renovate can see the pin. Skip the third and the pin quietly rots — which is worse than no pin, because it looks maintained.
Pick the ecosystem first
The wrong manifest usually works on the machine you're sitting at and diverges elsewhere, so
resolve this before editing anything. ./ecosystem-guide.md covers the trade-offs; the short
version:
| Use case | Ecosystem | Location |
|---|---|---|
| macOS packages (Homebrew) | brew/cask/mas | home/.chezmoidata/packages.yaml |
| CLI developer tools | mise (Aqua) | .mise.toml or home/dot_config/mise/config.toml |
| Python tools | pip | home/dot_config/dotfiles/requirements.txt |
| Docker/devcontainer | docker | home/dot_config/docker-compose/*.yml, .devcontainer/ |
| External files/repos | chezmoi externals | home/.chezmoiexternals/*.toml[.tmpl] |
| Install script CLIs | cli-versions | home/dot_config/dotfiles/cli-versions.toml |
Pin immutably
| Type | Pinning method | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Git repo | Commit SHA in revision |
revision = "abc123..." |
| GitHub file | Commit SHA in URL path | raw/<sha>/file.ext |
| Release binary | Version tag + checksum | v1.2.3 + checksum = "sha256:..." |
| Docker image | Digest | image:tag@sha256:... |
latest tags, bare branch names, version ranges, and URLs without a SHA or checksum all
resolve to something different tomorrow. ./externals-reference.md has the full type
specifications and field semantics.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

managing-chezmoi-packages is a skill published in the GitHub repository martinemde/dotfiles (9 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed ISC. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 1,525 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

dotfiles-bootstrap
Bootstrap a workstation with the dotfiles framework. Takes a GitHub user / owner+repo / explicit clone URL and runs dot init (which shells out to chezmoi) with the right safety prompts. Honors the active agent profile (ask / plan / apply / audit) so it defaults to dry-run in safer modes and full apply in apply.
vibe
Delegate a coding task to a cheap AI model (Mistral Vibe by default, but any provider Vibe knows about — DeepSeek, Gemini Flash, etc.) and supervise the result via git diff. Claude orchestrates, the cheap model codes. Claude consumes 500-1500 tokens per delegation regardless of how many file reads the delegate does…
