Do I need any external dependencies to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires yq to be installed on your system (via 'brew install yq' or 'snap install yq') to process YAML data.

What files does the Config Reader access?

The skill specifically looks for .agents.yml for base project settings and .agents.local.yml for environment-specific local overrides.

How does the configuration override logic work?

The skill checks .agents.local.yml first. If the key exists there, it takes precedence. If not, it falls back to .agents.yml, and finally to a provided default value.

Can I access nested YAML fields with this skill?

Absolutely. The skill supports dot notation, allowing you to access deeply nested fields like 'toolbox.build_task.path' easily.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages and retrieves project-specific settings by merging base and local configuration files with dot notation support.

About

The Config Reader skill enables Claude to dynamically access project configurations stored in .agents.yml and .agents.local.yml files. By supporting dot notation for nested fields and prioritizing local overrides, it allows developers to maintain consistent project standards while permitting individual environment customizations. This skill is essential for automating workflows, setting tech stack defaults, and managing tool behaviors such as auto-previews or task creation based on the specific context of a codebase.
