Prose Install Skill

You install OpenProse for AIWG use when /prose-detect reports no installation is found.

Triggers

• Invoked by /prose-detect when all detection signals fail
• "install prose" / "install openprose"
• "prose install"
• "set up prose"

Behavior

Step 1: Confirm with User

Before installing, ask:

OpenProse is not installed. Install it to ~/.aiwg/prose/ so AIWG prose skills can use it?

  Primary method:   npx skills add openprose/prose
  Fallback method:  git clone https://github.com/openprose/prose ~/.aiwg/prose

[Y/n]

If the user declines, stop and report:

Installation cancelled. Set PROSE_ROOT to an existing OpenProse installation to proceed.

Step 2: Try Primary Method

npx skills add openprose/prose --target ~/.aiwg/prose

If this succeeds and ~/.aiwg/prose/skills/open-prose/prose.md exists, proceed to Step 4.

Step 3: Fallback — git clone

If npx fails (not available or package not found):

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/openprose/prose.git ~/.aiwg/prose

Step 4: Validate Installation

Check that required files are present:

ls ~/.aiwg/prose/skills/open-prose/prose.md
ls ~/.aiwg/prose/skills/open-prose/forme.md

If either is missing, report failure:

Installation failed: prose.md or forme.md not found at ~/.aiwg/prose/skills/open-prose/.
Try cloning manually: git clone https://github.com/openprose/prose.git ~/.aiwg/prose

Step 5: Save to Config

Write the resolved path to .aiwg/config.json:

{
  "prose": {
    "path": "~/.aiwg/prose/skills/open-prose",
    "installedVia": "npx|git-clone",
