What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the management of multiple programming language and tool versions across your projects, ensuring consistency and eliminating version conflicts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version Management: Install, pin, and switch between different versions of Node.js, Rust, Python, and many other tools.
  • Project Consistency: Use .prototools files to define and enforce specific tool versions for your projects.
  • Use Case: When starting a new project that requires a specific Node.js version and a particular Rust compiler, you can use this Skill to install and manage both versions without them interfering with your global installations.

Quick Start

Use the proto skill to install the latest stable version of Node.js.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage multiple Python and Node.js versions in the same project?▼

A unified version manager handles multiple Python and Node.js versions by installing, pinning, and switching between specific releases. This prevents global installation conflicts and ensures project consistency.

What is the best way to enforce specific tool versions for reproducible builds?▼

To enforce specific tool versions for reproducible builds, use a .prototools configuration file. This file defines and locks exact versions of Node.js, Rust, Go, and other tools required across your project environment.

Can I use a single version manager for Rust, Go, and Bun instead of separate tools?▼

Yes, a single unified version manager supports Rust, Go, and Bun. It provides a centralized interface supporting installation and switching for over 800 tools via plugins, eliminating separate language-specific managers.

How do I pin a specific npm or pnpm version alongside Node.js?▼

Pin specific npm or pnpm versions alongside Node.js by defining the desired tool versions in your project's .prototools configuration file. This ensures the correct package manager and runtime versions activate automatically.

Does proto support Deno and Bun for JavaScript development environments?▼

Yes, proto supports Deno and Bun for JavaScript development environments. It manages their installation and version pinning alongside Node.js, allowing seamless switching between different JavaScript runtimes.
