This skill helps the user install the latest ai-ready SKILL.md by John Papa into their personal skills directory.
Why?: The full ai-ready skill is ~600 lines of detailed instructions that evolve frequently. This wrapper keeps it discoverable here while the source of truth stays in johnpapa/ai-ready — always up to date.
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 behavior, 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.
tools
Create a new workshop or use an existing directory as one. Handles two paths: (A) use an existing local directory the operator points at, or (B) create a new private GitHub repo in the signed-in account. Never creates a repo inside another repo.
development
Guide for setting up vcpkg in C++ projects, managing dependency versions, and cross-compiling. Covers manifest initialization, CMake and Visual Studio integration, classic-to-manifest migration, version pinning, baselines, overrides, triplets, and cross-compilation. Use when a user is working with vcpkg project setup, installation, version management, or cross-platform builds. For specialized tasks, additional references cover custom registries and overlay ports (references/registries.md), CI/CD and binary caching (references/ci.md), and troubleshooting and dependency lifecycle (references/troubleshooting.md).
