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",
