Install, upgrade, configure, and verify developer CLI tools safely. Use when a user asks to install a new CLI, command-line app, SDK tool, package-manager binary, GitHub release binary, language runtime tool, or AI/vendor CLI; configure shell PATH/completions; run first login; set API keys, tokens, or env variables for a CLI; migrate an existing CLI install; or troubleshoot a CLI installation while avoiding secret leakage.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Installing CLI Tools ## Overview Use this skill to take a CLI from "not installed" to "usable and verified" without exposing credentials in chat, logs, shell history, or repo files. Treat installation and secret setup as separate phases. ## Workflow 1. Identify the exact CLI, target OS/architecture, intended use, and whether authentication is required. 2. Check current state with narrow commands such as `command -v tool`, `tool --version`, package-manager queries, and existing config file paths only when needed. 3. Research current official installation docs before acting unless the user supplied an exact trusted source. Prefer official docs, package registry pages, signed release notes, or the upstream GitHub release. 4. Choose the least surprising install method: - Existing project manager (`brew`, `npm`, `pipx`, `uv tool`, `cargo install`, `go install`) when official and maintained. - Vendor installer only when it is the official path and its behavior is understood. - Manual binary install only after verifying architecture, checksum/signature when available, permissions, and destination. …

How to install
mdr add codealive-ai/ai-driven-development/installing-cli-tools@sha256:ab3df77ab00d909bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.6a369da, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
