Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00039 | $0.02508 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.01254 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00502 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00251 |
Grade A, and why
chezmoi-workflows scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 322 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Chezmoi Workflows
Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Backing up dotfiles to Git repository
- Syncing configuration files across machines
- Tracking changes to shell configs, editor settings, or other dotfiles
- Managing templated configurations with chezmoi
- Troubleshooting dotfile drift between source and target
Architecture
| Component | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Source | $(chezmoi source-path) |
Git repository with dotfile templates |
| Target | ~/ |
Home directory (deployed files) |
| Remote | GitHub (private recommended) | Cross-machine sync and backup |
| Config | ~/.config/chezmoi/chezmoi.toml |
User preferences and settings |
1. Status Check
chezmoi source-path # Show source directory
chezmoi git -- remote -v # Show GitHub remote
chezmoi status # Show drift between source and target
chezmoi managed | wc -l # Count tracked files
2. Track File Changes
After editing a config file, add it to chezmoi:
chezmoi status # 1. Verify file shows as modified
chezmoi diff ~/.zshrc # 2. Review changes
chezmoi add ~/.zshrc # 3. Add to source (auto-commits if configured)
chezmoi git -- log -1 --oneline # 4. Verify commit created
chezmoi git -- push # 5. Push to remote
3. Track New File
Add a previously untracked config file:
chezmoi add ~/.config/app/config.toml # 1. Add file to source
chezmoi managed | grep app # 2. Verify in managed list
chezmoi git -- push # 3. Push to remote
What ships with it
5 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.

chezmoi-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository terrylica/cc-skills (72 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,508 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
