What it does
Modern CLI Tools is an agent skill from shepherdjerred/monorepo. Safe, current usage of ripgrep, fd, bat, eza, fzf, zoxide, sd, jq, yq, hyperfine, delta, bottom, dust, duf, procs, btop, and tldr. Use when selecting or invoking modern Unix CLI tools, especially instead of fragile shell pipelines.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/data-benchmarks-and-git.md`, `references/interactive-and-system-tools.md` and `references/releases.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Summarization. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Monorepo for all of my projects. The licence is GPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- Invoking modern Unix CLI tools
- Especially instead of fragile shell pipelines
Example prompts
- “/modern-cli-tools”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46ddf2f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
rgjqyqshgit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Modern CLI Tools loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 872 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Safe, current usage of ripgrep, fd, bat, eza, fzf, zoxide, sd, jq, yq, hyperfine, delta, bottom, dust, duf, procs, btop, and tldr. Use when selecting or invoking modern Unix CLI tools, especially instead of fragile shell pipelines.
Modern CLI Tools
Prefer a tool because its semantics fit the task, not because it is newer. Preserve filenames as data, use machine-readable output, validate empty selections, and never turn filenames into shell source.
Current baseline
Verified 2026-08-03:
| Tool | Current release | Primary use |
|---|---|---|
| ripgrep | 15.2.0 | Recursive text/regex search |
| fd | 10.4.2 | Filesystem path search |
| bat | 0.26.1 | Syntax-aware file viewing |
| eza | 0.23.5 | Interactive directory listing |
| fzf | 0.74.2 | Interactive fuzzy selection |
| zoxide | 0.10.0 | Frecency directory navigation |
| sd | 1.1.0 | Search/replace with regex or fixed strings |
| jq | 1.8.2 | JSON filtering/transformation |
| yq | 4.53.3 | YAML and structured-data transformation |
| hyperfine | 1.20.0 | Reproducible command benchmarking |
| delta | 0.19.2 | Git diff/pager rendering |
| bottom | 0.14.7 | Terminal process/system monitor (btm) |
Read references/releases.md for the 34-page research ledger. Read references/search-files-and-text.md for ripgrep, fd, eza, bat, and sd semantics. Read references/data-benchmarks-and-git.md for jq, yq, hyperfine, and delta. Read references/interactive-and-system-tools.md for fzf, zoxide, bottom/btop, dust, duf, procs, and tldr.
Filename safety
Filenames can contain spaces, newlines, leading dashes, quotes, and shell metacharacters. Prefer:
- native
fd --exec/--exec-batch, - argv arrays in the current language/shell,
- NUL-producing and NUL-consuming options only when every pipeline stage supports them,
--before path operands,- machine-readable output instead of parsing decorated tables.
Do not interpolate {} into sh -c. Do not pipe newline-delimited paths into xargs rm, command substitution, or a shell loop that reparses text.
ripgrep
rg 'pattern' src
rg --hidden --glob '!.git/**' 'pattern'
rg --count-matches 'pattern'
rg --multiline --multiline-dotall 'start.*end'rg -ccounts matching lines;--count-matchescounts occurrences.-U/--multilinepermits matches across lines, but dot still excludes newline unless dotall is enabled.-udisables ignore rules but still omits hidden files;-uuincludes hidden, and-uuuadditionally searches binary data.--no-ignore --hiddensearches the working tree, not Git history. Use Git history commands for commit history.
fd
fd --absolute-path 'pattern' root
fd --full-path 'src/.+\.ts$'
fd --changed-within 2d
fd --type d --type empty --exec rmdir -- {}-pmeans match against the full path, not print an absolute path; use-a/--absolute-pathfor output.-S +1mselects files at least one decimal megabyte in size, including exactly 1,000,000 bytes; use+1mifor one MiB (1,048,576 bytes) —m/miare separate decimal/binary units, not aliases.-cis color control; use--changed-withinand--changed-beforefor time filters.- Native exec preserves argv and avoids shell injection.
eza and bat
Use eza for interactive display, not as a parser input. -h enables the column header row. --color-scale color-scales age/size fields; it is not a custom-theme loader. Use documented theme or EZA_COLORS configuration.
Use bat for human viewing. In pipelines or scripts, disable decoration/color or use the underlying file directly so control sequences do not become data.
sd
Current sd processes line by line by default. Use -A / --across for cross-line replacements, -F for fixed strings, -p for preview, and -- before operands that can begin with -.
Review replacements before in-place mutation. Regex replacement syntax is not identical to every sed dialect.
jq
jq -e -r '.items[]?.name' input.json
jq --arg name "$NAME" '.name = $name' input.json
jq --argjson config "$CONFIG_JSON" '.config = $config' input.json-remits strings without JSON quoting.-emakes false/null/no-result affect exit status.--argpasses a string;--argjsonparses JSON.- Shell-quote jq programs so the shell does not consume
$, brackets, or quotes. - Slurp loads all inputs; streaming changes the data model. Consider memory before using either on large input.
yq
This skill refers to Mike Farah's Go yq, not the separate Python wrapper with the same name.
yq eval '.services.api.image' compose.yaml
yq eval --inplace '.version = "2"' config.yamlTreat in-place editing as a local mutation and inspect the diff. Configure input/output format when extension detection is ambiguous. Preserve null and missing-value semantics deliberately; YAML round trips can change representation.
Show full SKILL.md (336 more words)Show less
fzf
Fuzzy selection can return no value and can return text beginning with -. Capture the result without word splitting, validate cancellation/empty output, then pass it as one argument with -- where supported.
Do not use vim $(fzf), cd $(...), or git checkout $(...). Prefer shell arrays/read primitives or native NUL protocols.
hyperfine
Replace invented performance numbers with a reproducible local benchmark:
hyperfine --warmup 3 --runs 20 \
--export-json benchmark.json \
'rg pattern corpus' \
'grep -R pattern corpus'Record tool versions, corpus, hardware, filesystem, cache state, warmup, and environment. Hyperfine commands run through a shell; do not interpolate untrusted input. A local result is not a universal speed or memory claim.
Git delta
Configure delta as a Git pager through reviewed Git config. Side-by-side, navigation, line numbers, syntax themes, and pager environment all affect output. Do not feed decorated pager output into automation.
System tools
btmis bottom;btopis a different monitor.- dust visualizes disk usage; duf summarizes filesystem space.
- procs presents process data; do not parse its human table for process control.
- tldr clients implement a specification and vary by language/version; verify the installed client.
Use system-native structured interfaces for destructive process/storage operations. A fuzzy human selection is not authorization to kill or delete without exact target resolution.
Interactive aliases
Do not transparently alias cat, ls, find, or grep in automation: replacements are not CLI-compatible. Distinct interactive abbreviations/functions are fine when the user wants them.
Install through a trusted package manager or reviewed release artifact. Do not pipe a mutable installer into a shell. If Cargo installation is intentionally used, select the exact crate and use its locked package graph.
Review checklist
- Verify the installed tool and release before using recent flags.
- Preserve filenames with native argv/NUL mechanisms and
--. - Distinguish ripgrep matching lines, occurrences, multiline, hidden, ignored, and binary semantics.
- Use fd absolute-path and time flags correctly.
- Keep human decoration out of machine pipelines.
- Use jq
-e, typed args, and deliberate raw/slurp/stream behavior. - Confirm the intended yq implementation before scripting.
- Validate fzf cancellation and exact selection.
- Benchmark a fixed corpus instead of repeating universal speed claims.
- Keep destructive process/file actions outside brittle text pipelines.
