I am terrible at naming things...
XIL (pronounce zil, as in godzilla) is a simple, easy to use, add-on to the XBPS package manager. This is NOT a package manager or a replacement to XBPS as it only handles the basic commands. Void Linux is an awesome distro that more people should be using, but the package manager can be a little weird for people who have never used a package manager or coming from Ubuntu/Fedora/etc. So this introduces more "sane" install commands in the same way that APT and DNF handle theirs, or "interprets/translates" what the user wants into the proper XBPS command if they haven't dealt with a package manager. It may have more "advanced" commands added eventually, but as of today it is focused on general use cases.
Clone this repo, download the zip, or download the file. Add it to your $PATH. Make sure it has permissions to run.
