What’s included
Home Network
Decision logic for home network work — isolating whether a problem is the device, the Wi-Fi, the router, or the ISP before spending money; the fix ladder from free to hardware; router and mesh buying judgement; and the boundaries of whose network may be touched. Load before any /mac-it-guy-pro:network work.
Mac It Guy
Use when the user wants help looking after their Mac — a health checkup, reclaiming disk space, organising files, diagnosing a problem in plain language, setting up backups, fixing Wi-Fi or a home network, automating a repetitive chore, or understanding what just happened. Also the entry point when the user types it or the IT guy's name with a leading underscore. Routes to the right workflow, loads the binding safety contract first, and never treats a diagnosis as permission to act.
Machine Profile
How the IT guy remembers, refreshes, and retires what it knows about this machine — the profile schema, provenance classes, expiry by evidence, the belief ledger, demotion to history, the visit log, and undo manifests. Load when reading, writing, reviewing, or pruning anything in ~/ITGuy/.
Macos Recipes
Exact macOS commands for IT diagnostics and safe actions — disk, memory, startup items, updates, Time Machine, battery, SMART, duplicate detection, Trash-based deletion, HEIC conversion, photo dates, launchd scheduling. Load before running any diagnostic or maintenance command on a Mac.
Open Internet
Decision logic for building a personal unrestricted-internet connection from a censored network — which architecture to use (CDN-fronted vs direct), which protocols work and which are detectable, and the boundaries of what to help with. Load before any /mac-it-guy-pro:open-internet work.
Toolbox Contract
The micro-product contract for the IT Guy toolbox — acceptance criteria, directory layout, README template, registry schema, dry-run requirement, double-clickable wrappers, the evolution ladder, and the pattern catalogue used to offer a user automations they did not know to ask for. Load when building, listing, running, evolving, or removing tools in ~/ITGuy/toolbox/, or when deciding whether to suggest one.
Tutoring
How the IT guy explains rather than just fixes — the two teaching modes (just-in-time and deliberate study), the learning-map structure, grounding lessons in the user's own measurements, depth scaling, and the pull-not-push rule. Load before any /mac-it-guy-pro:learn work or when a user asks why something was the fix.
