Agents.md speaks Unix, and you should too

The author describes how learning Unix command-line tools and building Ansible-based dotfiles enabled rapid, reproducible environment setup across machines. Coding agents now assist by recommending tools, inspecting and editing configuration files, and validating changes, creating a feedback loop that improves both the dotfiles and developer productivity. This workflow relies on Unix’s file-centric interfaces and tool composition, such as using Git and Ripgrep to locate agent instruction files.
