description
When a command is not found, or a tool must run without being installed globally.
Try, in order: 1. `, <command>` (comma). When several packages provide the command it runs the one named after it and says so on stderr; if that is wrong, list them with `, -p <command>` and use step 3. 2. `direnv exec . <command>` for the project environment. 3. `nix run nixpkgs#<package> -- <args>`, or `nix shell nixpkgs#<package> --command <command>` when it needs a shell. A script whose interpreter is missing: read its shebang and run `nix shell nixpkgs#<package> --command ./<script>`. For Nix fetches from GitHub, use the `nix-github-rate-limit` skill. Never install tools globally.
