Is it safe to run a reconfiguration?

Yes, running with the reconfigure argument or flag allows you to update your settings while preserving your existing data collections.

Does it support existing configurations?

Yes, it automatically detects legacy config.yml files and migrates your settings and plugin configurations to the new JSON-based format.

Why do I need to run setup-things?

It creates the required directory structure and configuration files that all other brenna-plugs career plugins depend on to store and retrieve data.

What happens if I have uncommitted changes?

The skill performs a safety check and will warn you if there are uncommitted or diverged changes in your Git repository before proceeding with migration.

Can I use this without a Git remote?

Yes, during setup you can choose to keep your .things directory local-only, though Git is recommended for portability.
