modern-cli-tools

A Claude Code plugin that enforces modern CLI tools — no more pip, npm, grep, find, or curl.

When an agent would reach for a legacy tool, this skill stops it and uses the modern equivalent instead. If the modern tool isn't installed, the agent tells you how to install it rather than falling back silently.

Tools

Modern Tool	Replaces	Purpose
uv / uvx	pip, pip3, python, virtualenv	Python packages, scripts, envs
pnpm	npm, yarn	Node.js packages
fnm	nvm	Node.js version management
rg (ripgrep)	grep	File content search
fd	find	File finding
xh	curl, wget	HTTP requests
