Agents

Home Manager module that owns the Nix side of the AI coding agents: deploying the global rules, the agent CLIs, and their environment.

The canonical rules text, behavioral scenarios, and external-tool snippets live in the top-level agents/ directory. That directory stays portable Markdown with no Nix dependency; this module only wires it into place.

Files

  • rules.nix: links the global rules to every agent's config location.
  • packages.nix: agent CLIs (codex, opencode2, pi) from the llm-agents flake input, plus pkgs.mcp-grafana for the Grafana MCP server.
  • env.nix: telemetry and auto-update opt-outs for the agents.
  • dsh/: the dsh web profile that lives in ~/.dsh. See dsh/README.md for the link granularity, the tracked members and which hosts import it.

Deployed rule targets

rules.nix creates one out-of-store symlink per target, all pointing at ~/nix-config/agents/AGENTS.md:

Agent Target
Codex ~/.codex/AGENTS.md
OpenCode ~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md
Pi ~/.pi/agent/AGENTS.md
Cross-tool ~/.agents/AGENTS.md

Out-of-store means an edit to agents/AGENTS.md takes effect on the next agent session without a Home Manager switch. The trade-off is that the rules stay writable in the checkout; use a store symlink (home.file.<target>.source = ../../../../agents/AGENTS.md) if immutability matters more than fast iteration.
