Add a tool
Search first:
maison package search <name>
Prefer a mise backend for versioned standalone tools. Add tools to the consumer repository:
maison tool add github:owner/repository latest
maison tool add npm:@scope/package latest
Use a bootstrap package for a Homebrew bottle or host-integrated package:
maison package add brew:tool --macos
Only add a package to Nix when system activation or a privileged service depends on it. Tool and package authoring writes
only consumer files, requires a clean Git authoring checkout, refreshes the consumer fast-forward-only, and rejects dirty
declaration or lock targets. A successful mutation creates a focused commit containing only its declaration and generated
lock paths, such as added(tool): \github:owner/tool@version``. If commit creation fails, validated files remain in place
for manual recovery.
Tool and package commands use parser-backed TOML edits. Supported comments, quoted keys, table boundaries, arrays of tables, and CRLF line endings are preserved; malformed configuration fails before Maison replaces the file.
