SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the management and auto-installation of CLI tools that are missing, ensuring development and CI environments stay productive without manual tool installation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reactive auto-install: when a command is not found, the skill automatically installs the required tool.
  • Proactive auditing: it checks project environments and tool versions to surface gaps.
  • Maintenance: batch updates of all managed tools across supported platforms.

Quick Start

Try a failing command to trigger auto-install, for example run: rg --version. The skill will install ripgrep (via the appropriate package manager) and then retry the original command.
