Key features

01Install, update, uninstall, and check tool status
02Diagnose missing commands
03Audit environment and PATH
04Detect project type and tool needs
05Recommend modern command-line alternatives

Use cases

01Resolve a command not found error
02Audit tools needed for a project
03Update tools across package managers

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

CLI Tools Skill

Install, audit, update, and recommend CLI tools across 77 cataloged entries.

Triggers

Reactive: command not found errors -- auto-resolve
Proactive: "check environment", "install X", "update tools"
Advisory: Recommend modern alternatives (grep->rg, find->fd, JSON->jq)

Preferred Modern Tools

Recommend over legacy equivalents. See references/preferred-tools.md for examples.

Legacy	Modern	Legacy	Modern
`grep -r`	`rg`	`diff`	`difft`
`find`	`fd`	`time`	`hyperfine`
grep on JSON	`jq`	`cat`	`bat`
sed on YAML	`yq`	`cloc`	`tokei`/`scc`
awk on CSV	`qsv`	grep for sec	`semgrep`
sed on TOML	`dasel`

Workflows

Missing Tool Resolution

Diagnose: which <tool>, command -v <tool>, type -a <tool>
Map binary: Check references/binary_to_tool_map.md (rg->ripgrep, ansible->ansible-core, batcat->bat)
Install: scripts/install_tool.sh <tool> install
Verify: which <tool> + <tool> --version; if still missing: hash -r, check PATH

See references/resolution-workflow.md for full diagnostic steps.

Environment Audit

Run scripts/check_environment.sh audit . and scripts/detect_project_type.sh, then cross-reference with references/project_type_requirements.md for per-type tool lists.

Batch Update

scripts/auto_update.sh (all managers) or scripts/install_tool.sh <tool> update (single).

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
Installed but not found	`hash -r` or add dir to PATH
No sudo	`cargo install`, `pip install --user`, manual binary; on Debian/Ubuntu `apt-get download` + `dpkg -x`
Debian `bat`=`batcat`, `fd`=`fdfind`	Symlink to `~/.local/bin/`

See references/troubleshooting.md for Docker fallbacks and permission workarounds.

Scripts

Script	Purpose
`scripts/install_tool.sh`	Install/update/uninstall/status
`scripts/auto_update.sh`	Batch update package managers
`scripts/check_environment.sh`	Audit environment and PATH
`scripts/detect_project_type.sh`	Detect project type

References

File	Purpose
`references/binary_to_tool_map.md`	Binary-to-catalog mapping
`references/project_type_requirements.md`	Tools per project type
`references/preferred-tools.md`	Modern tool usage patterns
`references/resolution-workflow.md`	Diagnostic/install/verify flow
`references/troubleshooting.md`	PATH, permissions, fallbacks
