Install Ghostwriter

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.changelog above — e.g. install-ghostwriter vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.

Create a content writer agent that knows your brand voice and writes platform-specific content. Powered by Claude Code and compatible with Trinity for remote deployment, scheduling, and orchestration.

What you'll get:

• A fully configured agent directory with CLAUDE.md, skills, and Trinity files
• 5 starting skills: write, set-voice, repurpose, hooks, library
• A voice profile customized to your writing style
• Zero API keys required — Claude does all the writing natively
• Ready for local use or Trinity deployment

Built by Ability.ai — the agent orchestration platform.

STEP 1: Determine Destination

If the user provided a destination path as an argument, use it. Otherwise, ask:

Use AskUserQuestion:

• Question: "Where should Ghostwriter be installed?"
• Header: "Location"
• Show these options:
  1. ~/ghostwriter — Home directory (recommended)
  2. ./ghostwriter — Current directory
  3. Custom path — Let me specify

Default to ~/ghostwriter if no preference.

Expand ~ to the actual home directory using:

echo "$HOME"

Validate the destination does not already exist:

ls -la [destination] 2>/dev/null

If it exists, warn the user and offer:

1. Pick a different path
2. Cancel

STEP 2: Domain-Specific Questions

Ask these 4 questions to customize the agent. Each answer directly shapes the generated files.

Q1: Platforms

Use AskUserQuestion:

• Question: "What platforms do you write for? Select all that apply."
• Header: "Platforms"
• multiSelect: true
