At a glance

Configure and optimize Ghostty terminal with themes, fonts, keybindings, and performance settings.

  • Works in 6 steps: Identify Configuration Need → Configuration Categories → Configuration Workflow → …
  • Setting up Ghostty
  • SKILL.md covers Config File Location, Instructions, Output Format and Project Context
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ghostty Config is an agent skill from wcygan/dotfiles. Configure and optimize Ghostty terminal with themes, fonts, keybindings, and performance settings. Use when setting up Ghostty, creating terminal configs, customizing keybinds, or troubleshooting terminal behavior. Keywords: ghostty, terminal, config, keybind, theme, font, terminal config, ghostty.conf

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `REFERENCE.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Configuration for Development Environments.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up Ghostty
  • Creating terminal configs
  • Customizing keybinds
  • Troubleshooting terminal behavior

Example prompts

  • “/ghostty-config”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Configuration Need
  2. Configuration Categories
  3. Configuration Workflow
  4. Common Configuration Tasks
  5. Reference Documentation
  6. Integration with Dotfiles

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b385ffa. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are ini and bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • ghostty.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ghostty Config loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 409 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 409 words (~1,750 tokens).

“Configure Ghostty terminal emulator following best practices and XDG Base Directory specification.”
