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
-
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.
-
Suggest the user review the downloaded skill before loading it to confirm it contains expected instructions:
head -20 ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md
-
After the user confirms they've installed it, tell them to reload skills with /skills reload and then say make this repo ai-ready.
-
Do not run the install command on the user's behalf. The user must run it themselves.
