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.

Legacy	Modern	Legacy	Modern
`grep -r`	`rg`	`diff`	`difft`
`find`	`fd`	`time`	`hyperfine`
grep on JSON	`jq`	`cat`	`bat`
sed on YAML	`yq`	`cloc`	`tokei` / `scc`
awk on CSV	`qsv`	grep for sec	`semgrep`
sed on TOML	`dasel`

Workflows

Missing Tool Resolution

Diagnose:

which <tool>

command -v <tool>

type -a <tool>

Map binary: Check

references/binary_to_tool_map.md

(

rg

ripgrep

ansible

ansible-core

batcat

bat

)

Install:
```
scripts/install_tool.sh <tool> install
```
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

Symptom	Fix
Installed but not found	`hash -r` or add dir to PATH
No sudo	`cargo install` , `pip install --user` , manual binary
Debian `bat` = `batcat` , `fd` = `fdfind`	Symlink to `~/.local/bin/`

See

references/troubleshooting.md

for Docker fallbacks and permission workarounds.

`scripts/auto_update.sh`	Batch update package managers
`scripts/check_environment.sh`	Audit environment and PATH
