Dotfiles

Portable configuration files for a consistent terminal environment across Linux machines.

Quick Start

git clone git@github.com:nmotlagh/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
cd ~/dotfiles
./setup.sh
source ~/.bashrc

The setup script backs up any existing configs to ~/.dotfiles_backup/ before symlinking.

What's Included

File / Dir	Purpose
.bashrc	Interactive shell: prompt with git branch, history, color support
.bash_aliases	Shortcuts for git, navigation, GPU monitoring, tmux
.bash_functions	Helper functions: venv, findlarge, expsetup
.bash_profile	Login shell: sources .bashrc, sets up $PATH
.vimrc	Vim config with Dracula theme, vim-plug, airline, fzf
.tmux.conf	Tmux with Catppuccin Mocha colors, vi copy mode
.gitconfig	Git aliases, histogram diffs, LFS support
.claude/CLAUDE.md	Claude Code global instructions
.codex/AGENTS.md	Codex CLI global instructions
skills/	Shared Agent Skills for Claude Code and Codex CLI
setup.sh	Symlink installer with backup and vim-plug bootstrap

Highlights

Bash Prompt

• User, host, directory, git branch + dirty flag, last exit code
• Supports virtualenv display and machine-specific ~/.bash_local

Tmux

• Prefix: Ctrl+Space
• Splits: \ horizontal, - vertical (open in current path)
• Pane nav: h/j/k/l (vim-style) or Alt+Arrow to resize
• Copy mode: vi-style (Escape to enter, v select, y yank)
• Theme: Catppuccin Mocha — blue session pill, green active window tab
• Mouse enabled, 10k scrollback, auto window renumber

Vim

• Dracula color scheme, relative line numbers
• Space as leader (jj to escape insert mode)
• Split navigation with Ctrl+h/j/k/l
• Plugins: vim-surround, vim-commentary, vim-gitgutter, vim-airline, fzf.vim

Git

• Aliases: st, co, br, ci, visual (graph log), uncommit
• Histogram diff algorithm, auto-setup remote on push

Agent Skills

Skills are stored in skills/ and symlinked into both ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.codex/skills/ by setup.sh. They follow the open Agent Skills standard and work across both tools.

Skill	Invocation	What It Does
compile-latex	Auto or /compile-latex	Compile paper, categorize errors/warnings
check-refs	Auto or /check-refs	Validate \ref{}, \cite{}, \label{}
check-tables	Auto or /check-tables	Number consistency: tables vs prose
acl-format-check	Auto or /acl-format-check	ACL submission compliance checklist
proofread-section	/proofread-section <file>	Grammar, style, clarity review
review-paper	/review-paper	Full ACL reviewer simulation (forked context)
fill-results	/fill-results <path>	Update tables from experiment output
codex	/codex	Delegate tasks to OpenAI Codex CLI

To add a new skill, create skills/<name>/SKILL.md — it will be available to both agents after running setup.sh (or immediately for Claude Code since ~/.claude/skills is a direct symlink to skills/).

Customization

Create ~/.bash_local for machine-specific settings (not version controlled):

export CUSTOM_VAR="value"
alias work='cd ~/my-project'

Prerequisites

• Bash, Git
• Optional: vim-plug (auto-installed by setup.sh), tmux, NVM
