CLI Tools Skill

Manage CLI tool installation, environment auditing, and updates.

Capabilities

  1. Reactive: Auto-install missing tools on "command not found"
  2. Proactive: Audit project dependencies and tool versions
  3. Maintenance: Batch update all managed tools

Triggers

Reactive (auto-install):
bash: <tool>: command not found
zsh: command not found: <tool>
Proactive (audit): "check environment", "what's missing", "update tools"

Auto-Install Workflow

When a command fails with "command not found":
  1. Extract tool name from error message
  2. Lookup package name in binary-to-tool mapping
  3. Detect OS (macOS/Linux)
  4. Install using appropriate package manager
  5. Retry original command
Example:
bash
# Error: zsh: command not found: rg

# Resolution:
brew install ripgrep  # macOS
# or
sudo apt install ripgrep  # Linux

# Retry
rg "pattern" .

Batch Update

Update all managed tools:
bash
# macOS
brew update && brew upgrade

# Linux
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

# PHP global tools
composer global update

# Node global tools
npm update -g
