AI Ready

This skill helps the user review and install the external ai-ready SKILL.md by John Papa into their personal skills directory.

Why?: The full ai-ready skill is maintained upstream and may change over time. This helper is a self-contained installer guide; the upstream repository remains an explicit external prerequisite.

External prerequisite

This package does not vendor the upstream ai-ready skill. Before installing it, ask the user to review the source repository and confirm they are comfortable downloading that external content.

Steps

1. 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 behaviour, the user can replace main in the URL with a specific tag or commit SHA.

2. Suggest the user review the downloaded skill before loading it to confirm it contains expected instructions:

   head -20 ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md
   

3. After the user confirms they've installed it, tell them to reload skills with /skills reload and then say make this repo ai-ready.

4. Do not run the install command on the user's behalf. The user must run it themselves.
