| description | Curate and maintain `chezmoi/dot_config/mise/config.toml` for developer runtimes and CLI tools. Use when adding, removing, pinning, or migrating tools in Mise; selecting the correct source type (`npm`, `cargo`, `go`, `github`, `aqua`); or resolving duplication between Mise and Nix/Homebrew. |
Mise Tool Curator
Overview
Manage tool declarations in chezmoi/dot_config/mise/config.toml so runtime ownership stays consistent and installs remain reproducible.
Workflow
- Classify requested tool change: add, remove, pin, or migrate source.
- Choose the most appropriate Mise source type.
- Insert/edit the tool in the correct section, preserving organization.
- Check for duplicate ownership in
home-manager/home.nix and nix-darwin/configuration.nix.
- Provide post-edit apply commands, maintenance commands, and verification steps.
Source Selection Heuristics
| Tool type | Prefer |
|---|
| Language runtime (node/python/go/rust) | native runtime key (for example node = "24") |
| Node CLI | npm:<package> |
| Rust CLI crate | cargo:<crate> |
| Go CLI from module path | go:<module/cmd/...> |
| GitHub release binary | github:owner/repo |
| Verified binary in aqua registry | aqua:owner/repo |
Guardrails
- Avoid placing dev-tool version management in Home-Manager unless explicitly requested.
- Keep comments that explain why a tool is intentionally managed outside Mise.
- Prefer minimal edits in existing section layout.
- Do not leak secret tokens into this file.
Completion Checklist
- Summarize changed keys in
chezmoi/dot_config/mise/config.toml.
- Call out any ownership conflicts discovered and how they were resolved.
- Provide commands:
cmamise installmise upgrademise prune --yes- optional verification:
mise ls or mise doctor
