Dotfiles/Config Team Spawn Recipe

Team Composition

Role	Model	Tools	Purpose
Lead/Coordinator (you)	inherit	All	Coordinate cross-system changes
Mise Specialist	Haiku	Read, Glob, Grep, Bash	Handle mise.toml changes
Chezmoi Specialist	Haiku	Read, Glob, Grep, Bash	Handle chezmoi template changes
Validator	Haiku	Read, Glob, Grep, Bash	Run validation after changes

Spawn Protocol

1. Analyze the change: Does it need mise config, chezmoi templates, or both?
2. Spawn mise-specialist and chezmoi-specialist in parallel:
   • Mise: tool version changes, backend selection, task runner updates
   • Chezmoi: template edits under home/, OS-conditional logic
3. Spawn validator after both complete:
   • uv run mde-py validate --all
   • mise doctor
   • chezmoi doctor
4. Coordinate any conflicts between mise and chezmoi changes

File Ownership (No Conflicts)

Owner	Owns	Cannot Touch
Mise Specialist	.mise.toml, mise.toml, mise.lock	home/
Chezmoi Specialist	home/**/*	.mise.toml
Validator	Nothing (read + run)	Config files
Lead	Brewfile, pyproject.toml	Delegates config

Decision Tree

Does this change need...
├── Only mise config? → mise-specialist alone
├── Only shell/dotfile config? → chezmoi-specialist alone
├── Both? → both in parallel, then validator
└── Also Brewfile? → add brew-specialist

Key Rules

• mise config at ~/.config/mise/config.toml is chezmoi-managed
• Changes MUST go through home/dot_config/mise/config.toml.tmpl
• Full lifecycle: edit template -> chezmoi apply -> mise install -> mise lock -> mise reshim
