2 things to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 5 stars5 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when ANY command fails with 'command not found', when installing CLI tools (ripgrep, fd, jq, yq, bat, etc.), auditing project environments, or batch-updating tools. Triggers on: command not found, install tool, missing binary, environment audit, update tools, which, apt install, brew install.

The file declares its own license as (MIT AND CC-BY-SA-4.0). That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

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.

grep on JSONjqcatbat
sed on YAMLyqcloctokei/scc

Workflows

Missing Tool Resolution

  1. Diagnose: which <tool>, command -v <tool>, type -a <tool>
  2. Map binary: Check references/binary_to_tool_map.md (rg->ripgrep, ansible->ansible-core, batcat->bat)
  3. Install: scripts/install_tool.sh <tool> install
  4. 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

SymptomFix
Installed but not foundhash -r or add dir to PATH
No sudocargo install, pip install --user, manual binary
Debian bat=batcat, fd=fdfindSymlink to ~/.local/bin/

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