pkgx - Universal Tool Runner

The pkgx module provides an interface for the pkgx tool runner, enabling users to fetch and run any open-source utility on-the-fly. It solves the "versioning" and "immediate availability" problems for developers.

When to Activate

  • When the user wants to run a tool once without installing it globally.
  • When testing a specific version of a software (e.g., bun@1.0).
  • When adding temporary tools to the current execution environment.

Core Principles & Rules

  • Non-Invasive: Runs tools without modifying the system's PATH or global configuration.
  • Immediate Execution: Use +pkg to temporarily inject a tool into the environment for a specific command.
  • Zero-Setup: Automatically handles tool acquisition and execution.

Patterns & Examples

Run Without Installation

# Execute bun without installing it to the system
