Package Installation Skill
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS: Space-separated package names to install.
Workflow
When to escalate: For complex backend decisions, version conflicts, or security concerns, consult the Package Manager subagent.
For each package in $ARGUMENTS:
1. Identify Package Type
Check in order:
-
Mise registry:
mise registry | grep -i <package> -
Known GUI/system apps: GUI applications → cask, system utilities → brew
Package type mapping:
| Package Type | Format |
|-------------|---------|
| Aqua registry | "aqua:owner/repo" = "version" |
| GitHub releases | "github:owner/repo" = "version" |
| Python CLI | "pipx:package" = "version" |
| Node.js CLI | "npm:package" = "version" |
| GUI app | Add to casks list |
| System utility | Add to brews list |
2. Discover Latest Version
GitHub tools (aqua/github):
gh release view --repo <owner>/<repo> --json tagName --jq .tagName
npm:
npm view <package> version
PyPI:
pip index versions <package> 2>/dev/null | head -1
Native mise:
mise ls-remote <tool> | tail -1
3. Add to Manifest
Mise tools → home/dot_config/mise/config.toml:
- Add under
[tools]section - Use backend prefix
- Pin exact version
- Follow comment organization (Runtimes, Aqua, GitHub, Python, Node)
Homebrew → home/.chezmoidata/packages.yaml:
- Add to
packages.darwin.brewsorpackages.darwin.casks - Follow alphabetical order
4. Verify
chezmoi diff
Expected: Only the intended manifest file changed. If unrelated changes appear, investigate.
5. Apply
Requires user approval:
chezmoi apply
CRITICAL: Always run chezmoi apply with no arguments. This triggers run_onchange_00-install-mise-tools.sh.tmpl which runs mise install. Targeted apply (chezmoi apply <file>) skips this script.
If the diff shows unrelated changes, ask the user how to proceed - do NOT attempt a partial apply.
6. Commit
git add <manifest-file>
git commit -m "feat: add <package-name>"
After all packages: Ask user "All packages installed and committed. Push to origin?"
Rules
- Mise > Homebrew for dev tools; aqua > other mise backends
- Exact versions only (no
latest, ranges, wildcards) - One commit per package
- Edit source files in
home/only
Reference
See docs/package-management.md for complete backend documentation.
