Use when adding, configuring, or troubleshooting mise-managed tools - ensures proper CLI usage, detects existing config files, and diagnoses PATH/activation issues when commands aren't found.

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

# Working with mise

## Overview

mise is a polyglot tool version manager. Use this skill when:
- Adding tools to a project via mise
- Troubleshooting "command not found" when mise should have tools available
- Deciding whether mise is the right choice for a dependency

## Rules

1. **Add tools with `mise use`**, not by editing config by hand: it checks the tool exists, installs it, and writes valid syntax.
2. **Use the config file the project already has**; don't create a second one.
3. **Fix the shell when tools aren't on PATH**: diagnose activation instead of making `mise exec` the permanent workaround.

## When to Use mise vs Alternatives

### Use mise when version matters per-project

Tools where different projects need different versions:
- Language runtimes: node, python, ruby, go, rust
- Infrastructure tools: terraform, kubectl, helm
- Tools with breaking changes between versions

```bash
# Good mise candidates - version sensitivity
mise use node@20      # Projects may need different Node versions
mise use terraform@1.5  # IaC often pins specific versions
mise use ruby@3.2     # Gemfiles often require specific Ruby
```

### Use Homebrew/system when version rarely matters

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins/working-with-mise@sha256:64e484fc81aa8819

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.1458c1b, 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.
