MDE Global Tool Migration

Use this skill when moving global tooling from ad hoc installers into mise ownership.

Goal

Shrink unmanaged global installs to zero or an explicit exception registry.

Classification Rules

• mise-owned: global runtime or global CLI declared in /Users/rmanaloto/.config/mise/config.toml
• native-manifest-owned: library or repo dependency that belongs in project manifests
• exception: macOS/system tool in configs/mde-install-exceptions.json
• removed: obsolete or broken tool that should no longer be installed

Workflow

1. Run mise run mde:migrate:global-tools -- --dry-run.
2. Review reports/mde-migration/*-inventory.json and *-summary.md.
3. If approved, run mise run mde:migrate:global-tools -- --apply.
4. Re-run with --verify and then run mise run mde:drift.

Required Outcomes

• No agent should install repo-managed global tools with brew, bun, uv, pipx, cargo, or go directly.
• Legacy installer scripts may remain only as transitional wrappers or explicit exceptions.
• Every migration decision must be traceable through reports/agent-policy/ telemetry.
