My Raspberry Pi could not carry the dream. A 2018 Mac mini could.
I wanted a small army of agents running 24x7 and a place to host all my homelab apps. The Pi was never going to do it. A colleague handed me his 2018 Mac mini and the whole thing took shape in one sitting.
I treated skills like dotfiles. Then they started spawning subagents.
My CLAUDE.md was turning into a Frankenstein .bashrc. Skills landed and my first instinct was 'dotfiles for Claude'. Half right. Dotfiles sit, skills move.
