name: mise-config description: Generates mise.toml project configuration. Use when setting up project tools, environment variables, or task automation with mise.

Mise Configuration Generator

Generates mise.toml configuration files for project-level tool management, environment variables, and task automation.

When to Use This Skill

• Setting up mise for a new project
• Adding tools (Node, Python, Ruby, etc.) to mise.toml
• Configuring environment variables
• Creating tasks/scripts for build automation
• Configuring mise settings (auto_install, python_venv, etc.)

File Naming Conventions

mise supports multiple configuration file locations with the following priority order:

1. mise.local.toml - Local overrides (gitignored)
2. mise.toml - Project configuration (committed)
3. mise/<env>.toml - Environment-specific (e.g., mise/production.toml)
4. mise/config.toml - Alternative location
5. .mise/config.toml - Hidden directory variant

Recommendation: Use mise.toml for project defaults, mise.local.toml for local overrides.

Keyword-Based Resource Loading

When users mention specific keywords, load the corresponding resource file:

Multiple keywords: Load all matching resources.

Basic Template

Minimal mise.toml for a new project:

Copy[tools]
node = "20"

[env]
NODE_ENV = "development"

[tasks.dev]
run = "npm run dev"

[tasks.build]
description = "Build the project"
run = "npm run build"

Quick Start

Node.js 프로젝트

1. mise.toml 생성:

   Copy[tools]
   node = "20"
   

2. 설치: mise install
3. 확인: node --version

Build 자동화

1. mise.toml에 추가:

   Copy[tasks.build]
   run = "npm run build"
   

2. 실행: mise run build

환경별 설정

1. mise.toml (개발 기본값)
2. mise.production.toml (프로덕션 오버라이드)
3. 활성화: MISE_ENV=production mise install

Common Use Cases

1. JavaScript/TypeScript Project

Copy[tools]
node = "20"
pnpm = "latest"

[env]
NODE_ENV = "development"

[tasks.dev]
description = "Start dev server"
run = "pnpm dev"

[tasks.build]
description = "Build for production"
run = "pnpm build"
depends = ["lint", "test"]

[tasks.lint]
run = "pnpm lint"

[tasks.test]
run = "pnpm test"

2. Python Project

Copy[tools]
python = "3.11"

[env]
_.python.venv = { path = ".venv", create = true }

[settings]
python_venv_auto_create = true

[tasks.install]
description = "Install dependencies"
run = "pip install -r requirements.txt"

[tasks.test]
run = "pytest"

3. Multi-Language Project

Copy[tools]
node = "20"
python = "3.11"
go = "1.21"

[tasks.build]
description = "Build all components"
depends = ["build-frontend", "build-backend"]

[tasks.build-frontend]
run = "npm run build"
dir = "frontend"

[tasks.build-backend]
run = "go build -o bin/server ./cmd/server"
dir = "backend"

Configuration Workflow

1. Identify requirements: What tools, environment variables, and tasks are needed?
2. Load relevant resources: Based on keywords mentioned
3. Generate configuration: Combine sections into mise.toml
4. Add file-based tasks (optional): For complex scripts, use separate task files

Task Files vs TOML Tasks

TOML tasks (recommended for simple commands):

• Good for: single commands, command lists, simple dependencies
• Inline in mise.toml

File-based tasks (for complex scripts):

• Good for: multi-line scripts, Ruby/Python logic, reusable functions
• Stored in .mise/tasks/ or mise/tasks/
• Example: .mise/tasks/deploy (executable file with #MISE metadata)

User's Existing Setup

The user has a global mise configuration at ~/dots/config/mise/config.toml with:

• Many CLI tools (fzf, ripgrep, bat, jq, etc.)
• Ruby setup tasks
• DevOps tools setup tasks
• Custom task files in Ruby (common.rb provides shared helpers)

When generating project configurations, assume the user already has common tools globally and focus on project-specific needs.

Output Format

Always provide:

1. File path: Where to save the configuration (e.g., mise.toml)
2. Complete configuration: Ready to copy-paste
3. Next steps: How to activate the configuration

Example output:

CopySave as `mise.toml`:

[Generated configuration here]

To activate:
  mise install        # Install tools
  mise trust          # Trust the config (first time)
  mise run build      # Run tasks

Advanced Features

Incremental Builds

Tasks can detect changes and skip unnecessary work:

Copy[tasks.build]
run = "npm run build"
sources = ["src/**/*.ts", "package.json"]
outputs = ["dist/**/*.js"]

Template Variables

Environment variables support templates:

Copy[env]
PROJECT_ROOT = "{{config_root}}"
HOME_DIR = "{{env.HOME}}"

Task Arguments

Tasks can accept runtime arguments:

Copy[tasks.deploy]
run = "kubectl apply -f manifests/$1"
# Usage: mise run deploy production

Error Handling

Common issues:

• "tool not found": Tool not in mise registry → use ubi:, npm:, cargo: prefix
• "task failed": Check depends order, ensure prerequisite tasks succeed
• "permission denied": File-based tasks need executable bit (chmod +x)

Related Commands

• mise use <tool>[@version] - Add tool to mise.toml
• mise set <key>=<value> - Add environment variable
• mise tasks - List available tasks
• mise run <task> - Execute a task
• mise watch -t <task> - Watch for changes and re-run task
