missing-tools

name	missing-tools
description	Resolves missing CLI tools. Use when a command is unavailable, a shell reports command not found, or a tool must be run without installing it globally.

Use this workflow when a required command is unavailable:

1. Try comma: , <command>.
2. Try the project environment: direnv exec . <command>.
3. Use nix run nixpkgs#<package> -- <args> when a package is known.
4. Use nix shell nixpkgs#<package> --command <command> when a package is known but a temporary shell is required.

Exceptions:

• Script with a missing interpreter: read its shebang and run it with nix shell nixpkgs#<package> --command ./<script>.
• Last resort: docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/workspace" -w /workspace <image> <command>.

For GitHub-backed Nix fetches, use the nix-github-rate-limit skill.

Never install tools globally. Use Zsh for normal commands; if a user tool is only on Fish's PATH, resolve it with fish -lc 'command -v <tool>' and invoke the resulting path.
