Software

This page lists common fresh-machine applications. The download links point to official project pages, while repeatable installs should use Homebrew manifests or the thin helper script in this repository.

Install Strategy

• Use Brewfile for terminal foundations and daily CLI tools.
• Use Brewfile.apps for optional desktop applications.
• Keep download links for apps that need manual review, account setup, or license checks.
• Keep one-off experiments out of the manifests until they become part of daily work.

Skill vs Script

A Codex skill can help operate or document the setup flow, but it is not the best source of truth for machine state. Scripts and package-manager manifests are better because they are versioned in the repository, reviewable in pull requests, and safe to rerun.

Use skills for orchestration and maintenance notes. Use Brewfile, Brewfile.apps, and pnpm software:* commands for actual installs. See Codex Skills for when to use a skill, local script, or plugin.
