Mise Expert

If you're juggling multiple language versions across projects or migrating from asdf, nvm, or pyenv, this skill helps you work with mise, the unified dev environment manager. It covers runtime version management, environment variables, and task running in one tool. The skill handles typical scenarios like setting up project-specific tooling, resolving version conflicts, and configuring mise.toml files. It's passed Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket audits but has a Snyk warning worth checking. Straightforward expertise for a tool that's trying to replace your stack of version managers with a single solution.

Check live docs first

mise ships several releases a month, and backends, settings, env vars and flags change between them. This file is a snapshot checked against mise 2026.10.11 (2026-10-15) release notes and docs, with settings and backends confirmed on a 2026.10.10 binary; treat it as a map of where to look, not as the current truth.

Before giving syntax, a setting name, an env var, a flag, or a backend recommendation, confirm it against a live source, in this order:

The installed binary — mise --version, mise help <command>, mise settings ls, mise registry <tool>, mise doctor. Authoritative for what this machine runs.
Current docs — context7 (resolve the mise library ID, then query the topic), or https://mise.jdx.dev (via read in omp, WebFetch in Claude Code, or Parallax fetch_page).
What changed since the snapshot — the release notes at https://github.com/jdx/mise/releases, when the installed version is newer than the one above or the user hits behavior this file doesn't match.
