Tool

Overview

Handle local tool onboarding in one pass: either install the tool with the best available package manager for the host and verify it, or document the tool without installing it, then use the schemas skill to initialize and update the schema-defined Dendron note set rooted at [[<prefix>.<name>]] with concise install and usage guidance.

Require the user to choose the root prefix explicitly. The only valid prefixes are vpkg and pkg. If the request does not specify one, ask which prefix to use before creating or updating notes.

When documenting or refreshing tool notes, always research the tool on the internet instead of relying on internal knowledge alone. Find the authoritative sources first and prefer the official GitHub repo and official docs/manual. Keep package-wide links in the root note's Resources section, but when the research is self-contained to a topic, reference, or API note, keep those links in the current note instead of pushing everything up to the root.
