CLI Tools Skill

Manage CLI tool installation, environment auditing, and updates.

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

Reactive (auto-install):

bash: : command not found zsh: command not found:

Proactive (audit): "check environment", "what's missing", "update tools"

Binary to Tool Mapping

Common binary names that differ from package names:

Binary Package (Homebrew) Package (apt) rg ripgrep ripgrep fd fd fd-find bat bat bat delta git-delta N/A exa / eza eza eza fzf fzf fzf ag the_silver_searcher silversearcher-ag http httpie httpie jq jq jq yq yq N/A gh gh gh glab glab N/A Installation Commands macOS (Homebrew)

Install single tool

brew install

Install multiple tools

brew install ripgrep fd bat eza fzf jq gh

Update all tools

brew update && brew upgrade

Linux (apt)

Install single tool

sudo apt install

Install multiple tools

sudo apt install ripgrep fd-find bat fzf jq

Update all tools

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

PHP Tools (Composer)

Global PHP tools

composer global require phpstan/phpstan composer global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer composer global require rector/rector

Project-specific

composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan composer require --dev friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer

Node.js Tools (npm)

Global Node tools

npm install -g prettier eslint typescript

Project-specific

npm install --save-dev prettier eslint typescript

Project Type Detection PHP Project

Indicators: composer.json, vendor/, *.php

Required tools:

php - PHP interpreter composer - Dependency manager phpstan - Static analysis php-cs-fixer - Code style TYPO3 Project

Indicators: composer.json with typo3/cms-core, public/typo3/

Required tools:

All PHP tools ddev - Local development typo3 - TYPO3 CLI Node.js Project

Indicators: package.json, node_modules/

Required tools:

node - Node.js runtime npm / pnpm / yarn - Package manager Go Project

Indicators: go.mod, *.go

Required tools:

go - Go compiler golangci-lint - Linter Environment Audit

Check if required tools are installed:

Check single tool

command -v &> /dev/null && echo "Found" || echo "Missing"

Check version

--version

PHP project audit

php --version composer --version command -v phpstan &> /dev/null || echo "Missing: phpstan" command -v php-cs-fixer &> /dev/null || echo "Missing: php-cs-fixer"

TYPO3 project audit

php --version composer --version ddev --version

Tool Catalog Core CLI Tools curl - HTTP client wget - File downloader jq - JSON processor yq - YAML processor tree - Directory visualizer htop - Process viewer tmux - Terminal multiplexer Development Tools git - Version control gh - GitHub CLI glab - GitLab CLI docker - Containerization ddev - Local development Search & Navigation ripgrep (rg) - Fast grep fd - Fast find fzf - Fuzzy finder bat - Cat with syntax highlighting eza - Modern ls replacement delta - Git diff viewer PHP Tools php - PHP interpreter composer - Dependency manager phpstan - Static analysis rector - Automated refactoring php-cs-fixer - Code style fixer phpunit - Testing framework infection - Mutation testing Node.js Tools node - JavaScript runtime npm / pnpm - Package managers prettier - Code formatter eslint - JavaScript linter typescript - TypeScript compiler Security Tools trivy - Vulnerability scanner grype - Container scanner cosign - Container signing Auto-Install Workflow

When a command fails with "command not found":

Extract tool name from error message Lookup package name in binary-to-tool mapping Detect OS (macOS/Linux) Install using appropriate package manager Retry original command

Example:

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:

macOS

brew update && brew upgrade

Linux

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

PHP global tools

composer global update

Node global tools

npm update -g
