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>".

From the source SKILL.md

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.
