Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
How to keep the environment reproducible and drift-free — the detect/drift, doctor-diagnostic, and content-hashed lock discipline envctl uses, plus how the built-in agent-env engine (envctl agent) provisions and locks the agent config. Use when checking environment health, diagnosing drift, regenerating or verifying a lock, or making the agent environment reproducible. Triggers: 'is the environment stable', 'check for drift', 'run doctor', 'the lock is stale', 'make this reproducible', 'env is inconsistent', 'sync the agents'.Key capabilities
- →Detect drift in the agent environment
- →Run doctor diagnostics for environment health
- →Provision and lock agent configuration
- →Verify content-hashed lock files
- →Synchronize agent skills and MCP assets
How it works
The skill uses `envctl` and its built-in agent-env engine to detect environment drift, run diagnostics, and provision agent configurations, ensuring reproducibility through content-hashed lock files.
Inputs & outputs
When to use env-stabilize
- →Check environment stability
- →Detect configuration drift
- →Sync agent environment
- →Verify lock files
About env-stabilize
Ensures environment stability by pinning tools and agent configurations to content hashes. It provides diagnostic tools to detect drift between the actual environment and the declared state.

When not to use it
- →When hand-editing generated `.claude`/`.codex` files directly
- →When installing missing binaries via ad-hoc methods instead of nix-profile
- →When needing to modify git-tracked harness skills
Limitations
- →Drift detection compares live state to declared state
- →Doctor diagnostics provide a read-only health report
- →The lock file is authoritative for `envctl agent sync` operations
How it compares
This skill enforces a content-hashed lock discipline for environment stability, ensuring reproducibility and detectable drift, unlike environments managed by manual edits or ad-hoc installations.
