# USER.local.md

<!--
  Machine-local layer: anything that stops being true when you switch machines.
  MUST be gitignored — add `USER.local.md` to .gitignore before your first commit.
  NEVER store plaintext passwords, API keys, or tokens here — write pointers to where credentials live instead.
  Facts here are DYNAMIC: verify they still hold before relying on them (probe the path, check the tool), and update this file when they don't.
  All examples below are fictional — replace everything with your own content.
-->

## Machine

<!-- Example:
- Framework 13 laptop, Windows 11 + WSL2 (Ubuntu 24.04).
- 32 GB RAM; heavy builds are fine, local LLMs are not.
-->

## Toolchain

<!-- Example:
- Node 22 via nvm; pnpm over npm on this machine.
- Editor: VS Code with vim keybindings.
-->

## Paths & layout

<!-- Example:
- Projects live under ~/dev/, one folder per repo.
- Scratch space: ~/dev/_scratch/ — safe to write temp files there.
-->

## Credential pointers (never the credentials themselves)

<!-- Example:
- GitHub: `gh` CLI is already logged in — use it instead of asking for a token.
- Cloud credentials: system keychain — never ask me to paste them into chat.
