Gabriel Brown 89761a7da3 Keep the personal half of the desktop in one place, and ask before installing it
Agent instructions, skills, SSH host aliases and expansion triggers are worth
having identical on every machine one person owns, and belong in none of the
shared configuration. They live in user/ now, with a manifest saying where each
piece goes and a link-user stage that puts it there.

That stage does nothing unless the machine said yes. Somebody who clones Panama
to try the desktop keeps their own ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md exactly where it was;
the question names the destinations and defaults to no. Anything displaced goes
to config/old rather than being deleted.

~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and ~/.codex/AGENTS.md were byte-identical copies of one
file, which is the drift this exists to prevent.

Also adds the vitals toggles for the battery and Claude usage readouts, which
had preferences and no way to reach them.

HashiCorp Vault & Other Syncs

HashiCorp Vault

Prerequisites

  • HashiCorp Vault Connection (token or AppRole auth)

Destination Config

Field Required Description
Vault Connection Yes The App Connection to authenticate with
Secrets Engine Mount Yes KV secrets engine mount point (e.g., secret, kv)
Path Yes Path within the engine (e.g., dev/nested, myapp/config)

Sync Options

Field Description
Initial Sync Behavior overwrite-destination, import-prioritize-infisical, or import-prioritize-hashicorp-vault
Key Schema Template for key transformation
Auto-Sync Enabled Default on
Disable Secret Deletion Prevent deletion at destination

Gotchas

  • Paths are auto-created if they don't exist — no need to pre-create them in Vault
  • Works with KV v2 secrets engines
  • This is useful for migrating from Vault to Infisical gradually — sync back to Vault while transitioning

Other Supported Destinations

All destinations follow the same general pattern: App Connection → Source → Destination → Sync Options. Key differences are in the destination config fields.

AWS Parameter Store

  • Destination Config: Region, KMS Key ID (optional), Path prefix
  • Mapping: Each Infisical secret → separate SSM parameter
  • Type: Secrets stored as SecureString parameters

GitLab

  • Destination Config: Group or Project, Environment scope
  • Mapping: CI/CD variables

Bitbucket

  • Destination Config: Workspace, Repository
  • Mapping: Repository variables

Netlify

  • Destination Config: Site, Context (production/deploy-preview/branch-deploy)

Railway

  • Destination Config: Project, Environment, Service (optional)

Render

  • Destination Config: Service

Fly.io

  • Destination Config: App name

Heroku

  • Destination Config: App name
  • Note: Secrets synced as config vars — Heroku restarts the dyno on changes

Databricks

  • Destination Config: Host, Secret Scope

1Password

  • Destination Config: Vault

Supabase
