Use when ANY command fails with 'command not found', when installing CLI tools (ripgrep, fd, jq, yq, bat, etc.), auditing project environments, or batch-updating tools. Triggers on: command not found, install tool, missing binary, environment audit, update tools, which, apt install, brew install.

CLI Tools Skill
Install, audit, update, and recommend CLI tools across 77 cataloged entries.
Triggers
- Reactive:
command not founderrors -- auto-resolve - Proactive: "check environment", "install X", "update tools"
- Advisory: Recommend modern alternatives (
grep->rg,find->fd, JSON->jq)
Preferred Modern Tools
Recommend over legacy equivalents. See references/preferred-tools.md for examples.
| Legacy | Modern | Legacy | Modern |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| grep -r | rg | diff | difft |
| find | fd | time | hyperfine |
| grep on JSON | jq | cat | bat |
| sed on YAML | yq | cloc | tokei/scc |
| awk on CSV | qsv | grep for sec | semgrep |
| sed on TOML | dasel | | |
Workflows
Missing Tool Resolution
- Diagnose:
which <tool>,command -v <tool>,type -a <tool> - Map binary: Check
references/binary_to_tool_map.md(rg->ripgrep,ansible->ansible-core,batcat->bat) - Install:
scripts/install_tool.sh <tool> install - Verify:
which <tool>+<tool> --version; if still missing:hash -r, check PATH
See references/resolution-workflow.md for full diagnostic steps.
Environment Audit
Run scripts/check_environment.sh audit . and scripts/detect_project_type.sh, then cross-reference with references/project_type_requirements.md for per-type tool lists.
Batch Update
scripts/auto_update.sh (all managers) or scripts/install_tool.sh <tool> update (single).
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| Installed but not found | hash -r or add dir to PATH |
| No sudo | cargo install, pip install --user, manual binary |
| Debian bat=batcat, fd=fdfind | Symlink to ~/.local/bin/ |
See references/troubleshooting.md for Docker fallbacks and permission workarounds.
Scripts
| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| scripts/install_tool.sh | Install/update/uninstall/status |
| scripts/auto_update.sh | Batch update package managers |
| scripts/check_environment.sh | Audit environment and PATH |
| scripts/detect_project_type.sh | Detect project type |
References

Use when work should span one or more detached tasks but still behave like one job with a single owner context. TaskFlow is the durable flow substrate under authoring layers like Lobster, ACPX, plugins, or plain code. Keep conditional logic in the caller; use TaskFlow for flow identity, child-task linkage, waiting state, revision-checked mutations, and user-facing emergence.

# Lobster Lobster executes multi-step workflows with approval checkpoints. Use it when: - User wants a repeatable automation (triage, monitor, sync) - Actions need human approval before executing (send, post, delete) - Multiple tool calls should run as one deterministic operation ## When to use Lobster | User intent | Use Lobster? | | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------
