manage-dotfiles-configlisted

Safely edit tool config files in this dotfiles repo (Zed, Neovim, Ghostty, Yazi, tmux, lazygit, etc.) by looking up real current docs for exact option/keybind/action names instead of guessing, then validating per file format. Use when changing editor or terminal settings or keybindings, adding/remapping a shortcut, toggling a panel/dock, or whenever the user references a config file like keymap.json, settings.json, init.lua, config.toml, or asks "what's the action/option for X in <tool>".

# manage-dotfiles-config Edit machine config in `~/dotfiles` without guessing. Three rules: **look up the real option/action name, make the edit, validate before declaring done.** Never invent a config key or action identifier from memory — they drift between versions. ## Workflow 1. **Locate** the file in the Tool catalog below (paths are stow-managed in `~/dotfiles`). 2. **Look up** the exact key/action/option via the `find-docs` skill (Context7) — see "Docs lookup" per tool. Don't guess identifiers like `editor::GoToDefinition` or a settings key; confirm them against current docs. 3. **Edit** the file (preserve the surrounding comment/idiom style). 4. **Validate**: `bash scripts/validate-config.sh <file>` (auto-detects format). Fix until ✓. 5. **Check the Gotchas catalog** for the tool before finishing. ## Tool catalog | Tool | Config path(s) | Format | Docs lookup (find-docs) | |------|----------------|--------|-------------------------| | Zed | `~/.config/zed/keymap.json`, `settings.json` | JSONC | lib `/websites/zed_dev` — query for action ids / setting keys | | Neovim (LazyVim) | `~/.config/nvim/lua/**` | Lua | `ctx7 library "Neovim"` / `"LazyVim"` | | Ghostty | `~/.config/ghostty/config` | key=value | `ctx7 library "Ghostty"` | | Yazi | `~/.config/yazi/keymap.toml`, `yazi.toml` | TOML | `ctx7 library "Yazi"` | | tmux | `~/.tmux.conf` | tmux conf | `ctx7 library "tmux"` | | lazygit | `~/.config/lazygit/config.yml` | YAML | `ctx7 library "lazygit"` | Add new
