+**Architecture stack:** Nix (Determinate Nix) → Nix Darwin (macOS system) / Home Manager (user-level packages + dotfiles) → symlinks (agent configs, global agents.md) → `rebuild.sh` (one command from fresh OS to productive setup).
+
+**Key insight — agent configs as versioned symlinks.** The global `agents.md` memory file lives in the dotfiles repo. Home Manager symlinks it into each agent's config directory. All agents (Claude Code, pi, etc.) read the same ruleset from one source-of-truth file. Change once, rebuild, every agent picks it up.
+
+**Cross-OS portability (Windows sketch):**
+
+| macOS component | Windows equivalent |
+|---|---|
+| Nix + Nix Darwin | Nix via WSL, or scoop/winget |
+| Homebrew | scoop / winget / chocolatey |
+| Westerm terminal | Windows Terminal / WezTerm |
+| Zsh + Starship | PowerShell Core + Starship, or Git Bash |
+| Neovim (Lazy.nvim) | Neovim (identical, paths differ) |
+| Herdr multiplexer | Herdr (native Windows binary) |
+| Claude Code | Claude Code (Windows CLI) |
+| `rebuild.sh` | `rebuild.ps1` or cross-OS `justfile` |
+
+**Cross-OS constants** that make this viable: Herdr (single Rust binary, works everywhere, see Agent multiplexer note above); Neovim (identical config across OSes); Claude Code/pi (both work on Windows); Starship (cross-shell prompt); global `agents.md` (plain markdown, OS-agnostic).
+
+**The target pattern:** one command from a fresh OS install to a fully productive agentic engineering environment. Every tool, every config, every agent rule — versioned, repeatable, documented for the OSes you target.
