Navigate Texas for living, moving, working, and road trips with region fit, state rules, weather risk, and daily logistics.
User needs Texas-specific guidance that generic U.S. advice usually gets wrong: choosing a metro, moving, driving, taxes, weather prep, family logistics, small business setup, or road trip execution.
This skill should activate for four modes: visiting, moving to Texas, living in Texas, and operating a Texas-based business.
This skill works statelessly for one-off Texas questions. If the user wants continuity across sessions, memory lives in ~/texas/. If ~/texas/ does not exist, read setup.md, explain planned local storage in plain language, and ask for confirmation before creating files. See memory-template.md for structure.
