fish-deps manages these tools. Run `fish-deps` to check status, or
`fish-deps install` to install missing ones.

## Required

    uv        Python package manager (Astral)
    cargo     Rust toolchain (via rustup)
    fish      Fish shell >= 4.0
    fisher    Fish plugin manager
    starship  Cross-shell prompt
    fzf       Fuzzy finder
    zoxide    Smart cd with frecency
    direnv    Per-directory environment loading
    paru      AUR helper (Arch only; preferred)
    yay       AUR helper (Arch only; fallback)

## Integrations

    wakatime   Developer time tracking
    tailscale  Mesh VPN client

## Recommended

    eza         Modern ls replacement
    lsd         ls replacement (fallback to eza)
    bat         Syntax-highlighted cat
    btop        Modern resource monitor
    dust        Disk usage tree (Rust)
    duf         Disk usage/free overview
    prettyping  Colorized ping wrapper
    ov          Modern pager (replaces less)
    ripgrep     Fast line search
    lazygit     Terminal git UI
    lazydocker  Terminal docker UI
    trash       Safe delete (trash-cli)
    kitty       GPU-accelerated terminal (primary)
    wezterm     GPU-accelerated terminal (alternative)
    python3     Standalone interpreter — used by the AI session helpers
                (save_claude_session / save_antigravity_session) and the
                paru/yay log cleaner. Note: uv does not provide python3 on
                PATH, and Arch's base does not include it, so it is listed
                separately. All consumers degrade gracefully without it.

## Install Methods

The install priority for each tool:

    cargo     Rust tools (eza, lsd, bat, dust, ov, ripgrep, trashy, zoxide,
              starship) — always gets the latest crate version
    system PM paru / apt / brew / dnf / etc. — for tools without a crate
    git clone fzf — installed from GitHub to ~/.fzf/
    curl      starship installer, fisher bootstrap, uv installer
    pipx      Python-based tools
