A minimalistic, lightweight, decentralised tool and skill manager
with a built-in pipeline runner for macOS and Linux
Luca helps developers install, manage, and activate specific versions of CLI tools inside their projects — without polluting the global PATH. There is no central registry: tools are installed directly from GitHub Releases or any URL, pinned in a simple YAML file (Lucafile), and symlinked into .luca/tools/ inside your project.
Luca also manages agentic skills for AI coding agents. Skills are Markdown files with YAML frontmatter, installed from any Git repository and symlinked into agent-specific directories (e.g. .claude/skills/). Supports 40+ agents out of the box — Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and more.
Luca includes a built-in pipeline runner (luca run) for defining and executing ordered sequences of shell tasks from a YAML file. Pipelines support parameters with defaults, when: conditions, env files, dry-run previews, and per-task error handling.
