-# Flox Environments
-
-Flox creates reproducible development environments defined in a single TOML manifest. Every developer on the team gets identical packages, tools, and configuration — across macOS and Linux — without containers or VMs. Built on Nix with access to over 150,000 packages.
-
-## When to Activate
-
-Use this skill when the user has an environment management problem — even if they haven't mentioned Flox. Flox is the right tool when:
-
-- The project needs **system-level packages** (compilers, databases, CLI tools) alongside language-specific dependencies
-- **Reproducibility matters** — the setup should work identically on a teammate's machine, in CI, or on a fresh laptop
-- The user needs **multiple tools to coexist** — e.g., Python 3.11 + PostgreSQL 16 + Redis + Node.js in one environment
-- **Cross-platform support** is needed (macOS and Linux from the same config)
-- **AI agents need to install tools** — Flox lets agents add packages to a project-scoped environment without sudo, system pollution, or sandbox restrictions
-
-If the user just needs a single language runtime with no system dependencies, standard tooling (nvm, pyenv, rustup alone) may suffice. If they need full OS-level isolation, containers might be more appropriate. Flox sits in the sweet spot: declarative, reproducible environments without container overhead.
-
-**Prerequisite:** Flox must be installed first — see [flox.dev/docs](https://flox.dev/docs/install-flox/install/) for macOS, Linux, and Docker.
-
-## Core Concepts
-
-Flox environments are defined in `.flox/env/manifest.toml` and activated with `flox activate`. The manifest declares packages, environment variables, setup hooks, and shell configuration — everything needed to reproduce the environment anywhere.
-
-**Key paths:**
-- `.flox/env/manifest.toml` — Environment definition (commit this)
-- `$FLOX_ENV` — Runtime path to installed packages (like `/usr` — contains `bin/`, `lib/`, `include/`)
-- `$FLOX_ENV_CACHE` — Persistent local storage for caches, venvs, data (survives rebuilds)
-- `$FLOX_ENV_PROJECT` — Project root directory (where `.flox/` lives)
-
-## Essential Commands
-
-```bash
-flox init                       # Create new environment
-flox search <package> [--all]   # Search for packages
-flox show <package>             # Show available versions
-flox install <package>          # Add a package
-flox list                       # List installed packages
-flox activate                   # Enter environment
-flox activate -- <cmd>          # Run a command in the environment without a subshell
-flox edit                       # Edit manifest interactively

-## Package Installation Patterns
-
-### Basic Installation
-
-```toml
-[install]
-nodejs.pkg-path = "nodejs"
-python.pkg-path = "python311"
-rustup.pkg-path = "rustup"
-```
-
-### Version Pinning
-
-```toml
-[install]
-nodejs.pkg-path = "nodejs"
-nodejs.version = "^20.0"          # Semver range: latest 20.x
-
-postgres.pkg-path = "postgresql"
-postgres.version = "16.2"         # Exact version
-```
-
-### Platform-Specific Packages
-
-```toml
-[install]
-# Linux-only tools
-valgrind.pkg-path = "valgrind"
-valgrind.systems = ["x86_64-linux", "aarch64-linux"]
-
-# macOS frameworks
-Security.pkg-path = "darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks.Security"
-Security.systems = ["x86_64-darwin", "aarch64-darwin"]
-
-# GNU tools on macOS (where BSD defaults differ)
-coreutils.pkg-path = "coreutils"
-coreutils.systems = ["x86_64-darwin", "aarch64-darwin"]
-```
-
-### Resolving Package Conflicts
-
-When two packages install the same binary, use `priority` (lower number wins):
-
-```toml
-[install]
-gcc.pkg-path = "gcc12"
-gcc.priority = 3
-
-clang.pkg-path = "clang_18"
-clang.priority = 5               # gcc wins file conflicts
-```
-
-Use `pkg-group` to group packages that should resolve versions together:
-
-```toml
-[install]
-python.pkg-path = "python311"
-python.pkg-group = "python-stack"
-
-pip.pkg-path = "python311Packages.pip"
-pip.pkg-group = "python-stack"    # Resolves together with python
-```
-
-## Language-Specific Recipes
-
-### Python with uv
-
-```toml
-[install]
-python.pkg-path = "python311"
-uv.pkg-path = "uv"
-

-UV_CACHE_DIR = "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/uv-cache"
-PIP_CACHE_DIR = "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/pip-cache"

-
-## Hooks and Profile
-
-### Hooks — Non-Interactive Setup
-
-Hooks run on every activation. Keep them fast and idempotent. Rule of thumb: **if it should happen automatically, put it in `[hook]`; if the user should be able to type it, put it in `[profile]`.**
-
-```toml
-[hook]
-on-activate = """
-  setup_database() {
-    if [ ! -d "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/pgdata" ]; then
-      initdb -D "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/pgdata" --no-locale --encoding=UTF8
-    fi
-  }
-  setup_database
-"""
-```
-
-### Profile — Interactive Shell Configuration
-
-Profile code is available in the user's shell session.
-
-```toml
-[profile]
-common = """
-  dev() { npm run dev; }
-  test() { npm run test -- "$@"; }
-"""
-```
-
-## Anti-Patterns
-
-### Absolute Paths
-
-```toml
-# BAD — breaks on other machines
-[vars]
-PROJECT_DIR = "/home/alice/projects/myapp"
-
-# GOOD — use Flox environment variables
-[vars]
-PROJECT_DIR = "$FLOX_ENV_PROJECT"
-```
-
-### Using exit in Hooks
-
-```toml
-# BAD — kills the shell
-[hook]
-on-activate = """
-  if [ ! -f config.json ]; then
-    echo "Missing config"
-    exit 1
-  fi
-"""
-
-# GOOD — return from hook, don't exit
-[hook]
-on-activate = """
-  if [ ! -f config.json ]; then
-    echo "Missing config — run setup first"
-    return 1
-  fi
-"""
-```
-
-### Storing Secrets in Manifest
-
-```toml
-# BAD — manifest is committed to git
-[vars]
-API_KEY = "<set-at-runtime>"
-
-# GOOD — reference external config or pass at runtime
-# Use: API_KEY="<your-api-key>" flox activate
-[vars]
-API_KEY = "${API_KEY:-}"
-```
-
-### Slow Hooks Without Idempotency Guards
-
-```toml
-# BAD — reinstalls every activation
-[hook]
-on-activate = """
-  pip install -r requirements.txt
-"""
-
-# GOOD — skip if already installed
-[hook]
-on-activate = """
-  if [ ! -f "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/.deps_installed" ]; then
-    uv pip install -r requirements.txt --quiet
-    touch "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/.deps_installed"
-  fi
-"""
-```
-
-### Putting User Commands in Hooks
-
-```toml
-# BAD — hook functions aren't available in the interactive shell
-[hook]
-on-activate = """
-  deploy() { kubectl apply -f k8s/; }
-"""
-
-# GOOD — use [profile] for user-invokable functions
-[profile]
-common = """
-  deploy() { kubectl apply -f k8s/; }
-"""
-```

-"""
-
-[services]
-postgres.command = "postgres -D $FLOX_ENV_CACHE/pgdata -k $FLOX_ENV_CACHE"

-
-[options]
-systems = ["x86_64-linux", "aarch64-linux", "x86_64-darwin", "aarch64-darwin"]
-```
-
-Activate with services: `flox activate --start-services`
-
-## Environment Sharing
-
-Flox environments are git-native. Commit the `.flox/` directory and every collaborator gets the same environment:
-
-```bash
-git add .flox/
-git commit -m "Add Flox environment"
-# Teammates just run:
-git clone <repo> && cd <repo> && flox activate
-```
-
-For reusable base environments across projects, push to FloxHub:
-
-```bash
-flox push                         # Push environment to FloxHub
-flox activate -r owner/env-name   # Activate remote environment anywhere
-```
-
-Compose environments with `[include]`:
-
-```toml
-[include]
-base.floxhub = "myorg/python-base"
-
-[install]
-# Project-specific additions on top of base
-fastapi.pkg-path = "python311Packages.fastapi"
-```
-
-## AI-Assisted and Vibe Coding
-
-Flox is ideal for AI-assisted development and vibe coding workflows. When an AI agent needs a tool that isn't available in the current environment — a compiler, a database, a linter, a CLI utility — it can add it to the project's Flox manifest without requiring sudo access, polluting system packages, or hitting sandbox restrictions.
-
-**Why this matters for agents:**
-- **No sudo required** — `flox install` works entirely in user space, so agents can add packages without elevated permissions
-- **Project-scoped** — packages are installed into the project environment only, not globally, so different projects can have different versions without conflict
-- **Sandbox-friendly** — agents running in sandboxed or restricted environments can still install the tools they need through Flox
-- **Reversible** — every change is captured in `manifest.toml`, so unwanted packages can be removed cleanly with no system residue
-- **Reproducible** — when an agent sets up an environment, that exact setup is committed to git and works for everyone
-
-**Agent workflow pattern:**
-
-```bash
-# Agent discovers it needs a tool (e.g., jq for JSON processing)
-flox search jq                    # Verify the package exists
-flox install jq                   # Install into project environment
-
-# Or for more control, edit the manifest directly
-tmp_manifest="$(mktemp)"
-flox list -c > "$tmp_manifest"
-# Add the package to [install] section, then apply
-flox edit -f "$tmp_manifest"
-
-# Run a command with the tool available
-flox activate -- jq '.results[]' data.json
-```
-
-This makes Flox a natural fit for any workflow where Claude Code or other AI agents need to bootstrap project tooling on the fly.
-
-## Debugging
-
-```bash
-flox list -c                      # Show raw manifest
-flox activate -- which python     # Check which binary resolves
-flox activate -- env | grep FLOX  # See Flox environment variables
-flox search <package> --all       # Broader package search (case-sensitive)
-```
-
-**Common issues:**
-- **Package not found:** Search is case-sensitive — try `flox search --all`
-- **File conflicts between packages:** Add `priority` to the package that should win
-- **Hook failures:** Use `return` not `exit`; guard with `${FLOX_ENV_CACHE:-}`
-- **Stale dependencies:** Delete the `$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/.deps_installed` flag file

+## Hooks and Profile
+
+### Hooks — Non-Interactive Setup
+
+Hooks run on every activation. Keep them fast and idempotent. Rule of thumb: **if it should happen automatically, put it in `[hook]`; if the user should be able to type it, put it in `[profile]`.**
+
+```toml
+[hook]
+on-activate = """
+  setup_database() {
+    if [ ! -d "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/pgdata" ]; then
+      initdb -D "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/pgdata" --no-locale --encoding=UTF8
+    fi
+  }
+  setup_database
+"""
+```
+
+### Profile — Interactive Shell Configuration
+
+Profile code is available in the user's shell session.
+
+```toml
+[profile]
+common = """
+  dev() { npm run dev; }
+  test() { npm run test -- "$@"; }
+"""
+```
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+### Absolute Paths
+
+```toml
+# BAD — breaks on other machines
+[vars]
+PROJECT_DIR = "/home/alice/projects/myapp"
+
+# GOOD — use Flox environment variables
+[vars]
+PROJECT_DIR = "$FLOX_ENV_PROJECT"
+```
+
+### Using exit in Hooks
+
+```toml
+# BAD — kills the shell
+[hook]
+on-activate = """
+  if [ ! -f config.json ]; then
+    echo "Missing config"
+    exit 1
+  fi
+"""
+
+# GOOD — return from hook, don't exit
+[hook]
+on-activate = """
+  if [ ! -f config.json ]; then
+    echo "Missing config — run setup first"
+    return 1
+  fi
+"""
+```
+
+### Storing Secrets in Manifest
+
+```toml
+# BAD — manifest is committed to git
+[vars]
+API_KEY = "<set-at-runtime>"
+
+# GOOD — reference external config or pass at runtime
+# Use: API_KEY="<your-api-key>" flox activate
+[vars]
+API_KEY = "${API_KEY:-}"
+```
+
+### Slow Hooks Without Idempotency Guards
+
+```toml
+# BAD — reinstalls every activation
+[hook]
+on-activate = """
+  pip install -r requirements.txt
+"""
+
+# GOOD — skip if already installed
+[hook]
+on-activate = """
+  if [ ! -f "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/.deps_installed" ]; then
+    uv pip install -r requirements.txt --quiet
+    touch "$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/.deps_installed"
+  fi
+"""
+```
+
+### Putting User Commands in Hooks
+
+```toml
+# BAD — hook functions aren't available in the interactive shell
+[hook]
+on-activate = """
+  deploy() { kubectl apply -f k8s/; }
+"""
+
+# GOOD — use [profile] for user-invokable functions
+[profile]
+common = """
+  deploy() { kubectl apply -f k8s/; }
+"""
+```

+
+Activate with services: `flox activate --start-services`
+
+## Environment Sharing
+
+Flox environments are git-native. Commit the `.flox/` directory and every collaborator gets the same environment:
+
+```bash
+git add .flox/
+git commit -m "Add Flox environment"
+# Teammates just run:
+git clone <repo> && cd <repo> && flox activate
+```
+
+For reusable base environments across projects, push to FloxHub:
+
+```bash
+flox push                         # Push environment to FloxHub
+flox activate -r owner/env-name   # Activate remote environment anywhere
+```
+
+Compose environments with `[include]`:
+
+```toml
+[include]
+base.floxhub = "myorg/python-base"
+
+[install]
+# Project-specific additions on top of base
+fastapi.pkg-path = "python311Packages.fastapi"
+```
+
+## AI-Assisted and Vibe Coding
+
+Flox is ideal for AI-assisted development and vibe coding workflows. When an AI agent needs a tool that isn't available in the current environment — a compiler, a database, a linter, a CLI utility — it can add it to the project's Flox manifest without requiring sudo access, polluting system packages, or hitting sandbox restrictions.
+
+**Why this matters for agents:**
+- **No sudo required** — `flox install` works entirely in user space, so agents can add packages without elevated permissions
+- **Project-scoped** — packages are installed into the project environment only, not globally, so different projects can have different versions without conflict
+- **Sandbox-friendly** — agents running in sandboxed or restricted environments can still install the tools they need through Flox
+- **Reversible** — every change is captured in `manifest.toml`, so unwanted packages can be removed cleanly with no system residue
+- **Reproducible** — when an agent sets up an environment, that exact setup is committed to git and works for everyone
+
+**Agent workflow pattern:**
+
+```bash
+# Agent discovers it needs a tool (e.g., jq for JSON processing)
+flox search jq                    # Verify the package exists
+flox install jq                   # Install into project environment
+
+# Or for more control, edit the manifest directly
+tmp_manifest="$(mktemp)"
+flox list -c > "$tmp_manifest"
+# Add the package to [install] section, then apply
+flox edit -f "$tmp_manifest"
+
+# Run a command with the tool available
+flox activate -- jq '.results[]' data.json
+```
+
+This makes Flox a natural fit for any workflow where Claude Code or other AI agents need to bootstrap project tooling on the fly.
+
+## Debugging
+
+```bash
+flox list -c                      # Show raw manifest
+flox activate -- which python     # Check which binary resolves
+flox activate -- env | grep FLOX  # See Flox environment variables
+flox search <package> --all       # Broader package search (case-sensitive)
+```
+
+**Common issues:**
+- **Package not found:** Search is case-sensitive — try `flox search --all`
+- **File conflicts between packages:** Add `priority` to the package that should win
+- **Hook failures:** Use `return` not `exit`; guard with `${FLOX_ENV_CACHE:-}`
+- **Stale dependencies:** Delete the `$FLOX_ENV_CACHE/.deps_installed` flag file
