| description | Make any repo AI-ready — analyzes your codebase and generates AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, CI workflows, issue templates, and more. Mines your PR review patterns and creates files customized to your stack. USE THIS SKILL when the user asks to "make this repo ai-ready", "set up AI config", or "prepare this repo for AI contributions". |
AI Ready
This skill helps the user install the latest ai-ready SKILL.md by John Papa into their personal skills directory.
Why?: The full ai-ready skill is ~600 lines of detailed instructions that evolve frequently. This wrapper keeps it discoverable here while the source of truth stays in johnpapa/ai-ready — always up to date.
Steps
-
Tell the user to download the latest SKILL.md to their personal skills directory by running one of these commands in their terminal. This will overwrite any existing local copy.
bash / zsh
mkdir -p ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johnpapa/ai-ready/main/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md \
-o ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md
PowerShell
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$HOME/.copilot/skills/ai-ready" | Out-Null
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johnpapa/ai-ready/main/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md" -OutFile "$HOME/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md"
For reproducible behavior, the user can replace main in the URL with a specific tag or commit SHA.
-
Suggest the user review the downloaded skill before loading it to confirm it contains expected instructions:
head -20 ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md
-
After the user confirms they've installed it, tell them to reload skills with /skills reload and then say make this repo ai-ready.
-
Do not run the install command on the user's behalf. The user must run it themselves.
