TOOLS.md - Local Notes

Skills define how tools work. This file is for your specifics — the stuff that's unique to your setup.

What Goes Here

Things like:

• Camera names and locations
• SSH hosts and aliases
• Preferred voices for TTS
• Speaker/room names
• Device nicknames
• Anything environment-specific

Examples

### Cameras
- living-room → Main area, 180° wide angle
- front-door → Entrance, motion-triggered

### SSH
- home-server → 192.168.1.100, user: admin

### TTS
- Preferred voice: "Nova" (warm, slightly British)
- Default speaker: Kitchen HomePod

Why Separate?

Skills are shared. Your setup is yours. Keeping them apart means you can update skills without losing your notes, and share skills without leaking your infrastructure.

Add whatever helps you do your job. This is your cheat sheet.
