name	agent-isles-install-update
description	Install or update Agent Isles in the current Claude Code project with deterministic package-manager detection and a render smoke check.

Use this skill when the user wants to install, update, enable, or verify Agent Isles in a project.

Goal

Make Agent Isles work with as few manual steps as possible while keeping package mutations explicit and reviewable.

Workflow

1. Identify the project root. Prefer the current working directory unless the user named another path.
2. Run the bundled doctor helper to detect package-manager state:

   node <plugin-root>/bin/isles-doctor.mjs --cwd . --json --smoke README.md
   

3. Read the JSON report:
   • packageManager.manager chooses npm, pnpm, or yarn.
   • commands.init is present when no package.json exists.
   • commands.installOrUpdate installs or updates agent-isles@next as a dev dependency.
   • commands.smoke renders an existing Markdown file when one was provided.
   • commands.oneShotRender renders the same Markdown with npx agent-isles@next without installing Agent Isles into the target project.
4. If the user only wants a one-off render, Agent Isles is not installed, or the user asked not to mutate dependencies, run commands.oneShotRender instead of init/install/update commands.
5. If the user asked you to install/update, run the recommended init/install/update commands.
6. Run a smoke check. Prefer an existing Markdown file in the project; otherwise create a tiny temporary Markdown fixture, render it, and remove it after verification if appropriate.
7. Report the package manager detected, commands run, generated HTML path, and any remaining issue.

Safety boundaries

• Do not install globally by default.
• Do not edit generated HTML by hand.
• Do not publish npm packages or create releases.
• Keep mutations explicit: only run install/update commands when the user asked for install/update work.
• Prefer the doctor-provided commands.oneShotRender npx command when rendering without dependency changes.
• If package-manager detection conflicts with the user's instructions, follow the user's stated package manager and mention the mismatch.
