What is the primary purpose of the launchd-manage skill?

It allows Claude to manage and troubleshoot the macOS launchd agent responsible for automatically syncing your dotfiles and Homebrew configuration to GitHub.

Can I manually trigger a sync if the agent is stopped?

Yes, the skill can execute the underlying auto-sync.sh script directly to perform an immediate update regardless of the agent's status.

Does it require specific plist configurations?

It is optimized for the com.user.dotfiles-sync.plist agent but can be used as a template for managing other macOS launch agents.

Where are the synchronization logs stored?

Logs are stored at ~/Library/Logs/dotfiles-sync.log. This skill can read and tail these logs to show you recent sync activities and errors.

How does it handle Homebrew dependencies?

The synchronization script automatically runs 'brew bundle dump' to update your Brewfile before committing and pushing changes to your repository.
