Clone the Cornelius agent repository and guide the user to open Claude Code inside it
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Run a remote Trinity agent task in a sequential, bounded loop — a fixed number of iterations or until a stop signal, with optional response chaining. Fires server-side via run_agent_loop (caller can disconnect), then polls and renders progress. The remote, durable counterpart to Claude Code's local /loop. Add `local` to run the same bounded loop natively in this session instead — inline back-to-back iterations, or a hand-off to the built-in /loop when a cadence is given.
Make any agent a system-aware orchestrator — installs /discover-agents (discover the fleet from live Trinity and/or a repo list into a descriptive fleet/system-map.yaml), /compose-system (turn the map into a Trinity SystemManifest and deploy_system), and /orchestrate (route, fan out, and run ephemeral agents via Trinity MCP). Aligns with Trinity's existing SystemManifest; no parallel standard.
Create a new skill or playbook. Guides through requirements gathering and generates the appropriate template based on complexity.
Create an executive chief of staff agent — asks about your tools, team, and priorities, then scaffolds a Trinity-compatible agent for daily briefings, meeting prep, and decision tracking
Create a personal medical-records agent — bootstraps a profile from your existing health documents, then ingests new files, maintains structured memory, tracks lab trends, prepares doctor visits, and runs an evidence-based nutrition + supplement framework
Create a content writer agent — asks about your brand voice, platforms, and topics, then scaffolds a Trinity-compatible ghostwriter agent that writes in your voice

ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of
metadata.changelogabove — e.g.clone-cornelius vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.
Clone Cornelius and launch Claude Code inside the repository.
If the user provided a destination path as an argument, use it. Otherwise, ask:
Use AskUserQuestion:
~/cornelius — Home directory (recommended)./cornelius — Current directoryDefault to ~/cornelius if no preference.
Expand ~ to the actual home directory using:
echo "$HOME"
git clone https://github.com/Abilityai/cornelius [destination]
If the destination already exists and is non-empty, inform the user and stop — do not overwrite.
Report the result:
## Cornelius Cloned
Repository cloned to: [full path]
Display this message to the user:
## Next Step: Open Claude Code in Cornelius
Cornelius is a Claude Code agent — to use it, you need to start Claude Code
with the Cornelius directory as its working directory.
**Option 1 — Exit and reopen (recommended)**
Exit this Claude Code session, then run:
cd [destination]
claude
**Option 2 — Open a new terminal tab**
Keep this session open and run in a new terminal tab:
cd [destination]
claude
**Option 3 — Use the shell command directly**
claude [destination]
Once Claude Code starts inside Cornelius, it will load the agent's CLAUDE.md
and you'll be working with Cornelius.
Do not do anything else. The skill is complete once the instructions are displayed.
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
git not found | Tell user to install Git first: brew install git or https://git-scm.com |
| Destination already exists | Warn the user, offer to use existing clone or pick a different path |
| Clone fails (network, permissions) | Show the error and suggest they try manually: git clone https://github.com/Abilityai/cornelius |
