Can I use this with chezmoi dotfile management?

Yes, the skill includes native support for detecting and updating settings managed by chezmoi, including automated diffing and committing.

Is it safe to use on systems with sensitive credentials?

Yes, the skill includes a safety checklist that prevents it from adding permissions to access system paths (/etc, /usr), environment variables, or credential files.

Does this move destructive commands to global settings?

No, the skill's policy explicitly prevents moving destructive commands like rm, mv, or chmod to the user-level settings to maintain system safety.

What happens to my project-level settings files?

The skill removes redundant permissions that are already present at the user-level and deletes local setting files if they become empty, keeping your workspace clean.
