Boundaries
- The tools run locally in your browser and do not upload selections.
- Outputs are recommendations and never modify your system automatically.
- Before copying commands, verify the release codename, mirror, components, disk state, and current system environment.
- Use URL hashes to open a specific tool directly, for example
/en/tools#command-safety; the command safety checker can also copy share links with thecommand=prefill kept inside the URL fragment. - The mirror selector supports sharing its current configuration, for example
/en/tools#mirrors?release=trixie&mirror=official&components=firmware. - The install planner supports sharing its current configuration, for example
/en/tools#install?device=laptop&goal=daily&risk=balanced. - The desktop picker supports sharing its current configuration, for example
/en/tools#desktop?hardware=modern&workflow=creative. - The partition planner supports sharing its current configuration, for example
/en/tools#partitions?disk=standard&boot=single&encryption=home. - The troubleshooting wizard supports sharing its current symptom, for example
/en/tools#troubleshoot?symptom=display. - The AI Skills installer supports sharing its current configuration, for example
/en/tools#ai-skills?target=agents&replace=true. - The upgrade planner supports sharing its current plan, for example
/en/tools#upgrade?current=bookworm&target=trixie&exposure=public.
