+## Minimal Mode
+
+Everything opinionated in this config — command shadows, startup side-effects, key and environment overrides, and terminal integrations — is active by default but can be switched off with universal variables. Four category toggles and one master switch are available:
+
+| Variable | Disables |
+|---|---|
+| `__fish_config_op_aliases` | Command shadows: `ls`→eza, `cat`→bat, `cd`→zoxide, `rm`→trash, `top`→btop, and friends; `grep`/`cp`/`mv`/`wget` flag injection |
+| `__fish_config_op_autoexec` | Startup side-effects: Fisher bootstrap, theme apply, `paru`/`yay` wrapper generation, auto venv activation, WakaTime hook |
+| `__fish_config_op_overrides` | Vi mode, `exit`→`smart_exit`, `$PAGER`/`$MANPAGER`/`$CDPATH`, bang-bang history expansion, autopair, puffer, Starship prompt, theme colors |
+| `__fish_config_op_integrations` | Kitty/WezTerm window abbreviations, `done` notifications, `spwin`/`tab`/`split`, `hist`, `logs`, `upgrade`, WakaTime |
+| `__fish_config_opinionated` | Master switch — all four categories at once |
+
+Set any of them to a falsy value (`0`, `false`, `no`, `off`, `n`) to disable; erase the variable to re-enable:
+
+```fish
+# Plain shell: disable everything opinionated
+set -U __fish_config_opinionated 0
+
+# Or pick a single category, e.g. keep integrations but drop command shadows
+set -U __fish_config_op_aliases off
+
+# Back to full flavor
+set -Ue __fish_config_opinionated
+```
+
+Command shadows react immediately; bindings, prompt, and abbreviations take effect in new shells. With aliases disabled, `rm` deletes permanently again instead of trashing. See `help config opinionated` for the full component list.

+Notes:
+
+  - Command shadows (rm, cat, ls, ...) react immediately; conf.d-level
+    components (bindings, prompt, abbreviations, hooks) take effect in
+    new shells.
+  - With aliases disabled, rm falls back to bare `command rm` — files
+    are deleted permanently, not trashed.
+  - Disabled integration commands (spwin, tab, split, hist, logs,
+    upgrade) print an error naming the variable that disabled them.
+  - On CachyOS, the distro fish config's own aliases, history override,
+    and bang-bang bindings are stripped per category as well.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#   __fish_config_op_enabled <category_variable>
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#   Guard predicate for opinionated components (AGENTS.md Task #3). The master
+#   switch __fish_config_opinionated is always evaluated first via
+#   __fish_variable_check: a falsy master value (0/false/no/off/n) disables
+#   every category at once, regardless of the category variable's own value.
+#   Otherwise the supplied category variable is evaluated the same way.
+#   Unset or empty variables (status 2) and unrecognized values (status 3)
+#   leave the component enabled — opinionated components are active by
+#   default and these variables are pure opt-out knobs.
+#
+# ARGUMENTS
+#   category_variable  Name (without $) of the category opt-out variable:
+#                      __fish_config_op_aliases, __fish_config_op_autoexec,
+#                      __fish_config_op_overrides, or
+#                      __fish_config_op_integrations
+#
+# RETURNS
+#   0  Component enabled (variables truthy, unset, or unrecognized)
+#   1  Component disabled (master or category variable is falsy)
