| name | jterrazz-toolbelt |
| description | The exact tool roster provisioned on a jterrazz machine — modern CLI replacements (fd, ripgrep, eza, bat, sd, dust, zoxide, difftastic), AI tooling (rtk, qmd, ollama, skills), dev apps and services (gh, lazygit, docker/orbstack, linear, notion). Activates at the start of shell work, when searching or listing files, processing text, diffing, or checking whether a tool or capability is available on this machine. |
Machine toolbelt
Every jterrazz machine is provisioned by j (jterrazz-studio). The rosters below are a committed projection of the CLI's real install registry (src/internal/config/) — regenerated by make skills, kept honest by a sync test. They are exact for what j manages, not exhaustive for the machine (other tools may exist; j status shows what is actually installed here).
Reach for these first
Modern replacements are on every machine — prefer them over the defaults:
| Instead of… | Use |
|---|
| cd (jumping around) | zoxide — Smarter cd command |
| Finder in the terminal | yazi — Terminal file manager |
| cat (for humans) | bat — Cat clone with syntax highlighting |
| du -sh | dust — Intuitive disk usage tool |
| ls | eza — Modern ls replacement |
| find | fd — Fast find alternative |
| grep -r | ripgrep — Fast grep alternative |
| sed (simple replaces) | sd — Intuitive sed alternative |
| diff | difftastic — Structural diff tool |
| raw git porcelain (interactive) | lazygit — Terminal UI for git |
| raw GitHub API / web UI | gh — GitHub CLI for repository management |
| grep over markdown notes | qmd — Local semantic search over markdown |
| raw dev commands (token-heavy output) | rtk — Token-optimized CLI proxy for agents |

Where knowledge lives
| Question | Read (in jterrazz-studio) |
|---|
| How the registries work, adding a tool | docs/05-tools-and-skills.md |
| Install / upgrade / status commands | docs/02-commands.md |
| What is actually installed on this machine | run j status |
Always
- Never edit the generated sections — change the registry in
src/internal/config/ and run make skills.
- The roster is the curated catalogue, not proof of local install state; when a tool is missing,
j install <name> puts it on.
- Repo-layout doctrine is not here: see the
jterrazz-repo-structure skill.
