# Linux workflow

Read the matching guide before acting, resolving links relative to this skill directory rather than the project cwd.

- Diagnose system services, boot, permissions, devices, networking, or root boundaries: [linux](../linux/SKILL.md).
- Configure or troubleshoot Arch Linux packages, pacman, AUR/PKGBUILD, or upgrades: [archlinux](../archlinux/SKILL.md).
- Work on kernel virtual consoles, `/dev/ttyN`, getty, fonts, or keymaps: [linux-console](../linux-console/SKILL.md).
- Edit user-owned HOME/XDG config, dotfiles, shell environment, or user services: [linux-userland](../linux-userland/SKILL.md).

Read each applicable guide when a task crosses these boundaries.
A terminal emulator or pty is not a kernel virtual console; generic Linux tasks do not automatically require system diagnosis.
Follow each guide's safety constraints; routing never authorizes privileged commands or system mutation.
