### Marketplace (Recommended)

[](#marketplace-recommended)

Add the [Netresearch marketplace](https://github.com/netresearch/claude-code-marketplace) once, then browse and install skills:

```
# Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add netresearch/claude-code-marketplace
```

### npx ([skills.sh](https://skills.sh))

[](#npx-skillssh)

```
npx skills add https://github.com/netresearch/cli-tools-skill --skill cli-tools
```

### Download Release

[](#download-release)

Download the [latest release](https://github.com/netresearch/cli-tools-skill/releases/latest) and extract to your agent's skills directory.

### Git Clone

[](#git-clone)

```
git clone https://github.com/netresearch/cli-tools-skill.git
```

### Composer (PHP Projects)

[](#composer-php-projects)

```
composer require netresearch/cli-tools-skill
```

Requires [netresearch/composer-agent-skill-plugin](https://github.com/netresearch/composer-agent-skill-plugin).

### npm (Node Projects)

[](#npm-node-projects)

```
npm install --save-dev \
  @netresearch/agent-skill-coordinator \
  github:netresearch/cli-tools-skill
```

Requires [@netresearch/agent-skill-coordinator](https://github.com/netresearch/node-agent-skill-coordinator), which discovers the skill in `node_modules` and registers it in `AGENTS.md` via a `postinstall` hook. For pnpm, also allowlist the coordinator's postinstall:

```
{
  "pnpm": {
    "onlyBuiltDependencies": ["@netresearch/agent-skill-coordinator"]
  }
}
```

Triggers
--------

[](#triggers)

The skill activates automatically on:

### Error Patterns

[](#error-patterns)

```
bash: : command not found
zsh: command not found:
'' is not recognized as an internal or external command

```

### User Requests

[](#user-requests)

- "check environment", "audit tools"
- "what's missing", "what's outdated"
- "install development tools"
- "update all tools"

Installation Methods
--------------------

[](#installation-methods)

The skill selects the optimal installation method based on catalog priority:

1. **GitHub Release Binary** - Direct download (fastest, no deps)
2. **Cargo** - Rust tools via cargo install
3. **UV/Pip** - Python tools
4. **NPM** - Node tools
5. **Apt/Brew** - System packages (fallback)

Priority: user-level (`~/.local/bin`, `~/.cargo/bin`) over system-level.
