This external article explains the operating model behind botfiles: a dotfiles-inspired repo for agent instructions, skills, hooks, task folders, shell bootstrap, and cross-session memory.
The practical claim is simple: agent work becomes less fragile when context lives in regular files, not only inside a chat product. A task can pause in one session, resume in another, and carry its inputs, artifacts, decisions, and validation state with it.
The article also covers the remote-workspace stack behind the workflow: an always-on VM, private networking, persistent terminal sessions, browser and phone access, and notifications that let agents keep working without making a laptop the bottleneck.
