A coding agent prompt: use my dotfile, keep keys safe, test locally without help

The author shares a one-line prompt for coding agents: "Use my dot file without leaking any API keys and test these changes locally without asking me for any help." The idea is to let the agent autonomously read personal configs, respect secret-safety constraints, and verify changes locally without human back-and-forth.
