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
