Automating Machine Setup with Agent Skills

i stopped writing setup scripts for new machines. or VPS.

now every one-time config is a skill my agent runs.

→ setup-rtk
→ setup-adrs
→ setup-changelog

fresh machine? i just say "set up rtk" and it runs the same way everytime. idempotent.

skills are like dotfiles, but the agent executes them.
