# AI Ready
This skill helps the user install the latest [ai-ready](https://github.com/johnpapa/ai-ready) `SKILL.md` by [John Papa](https://github.com/johnpapa) 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](https://github.com/johnpapa/ai-ready) — always up to date.
## 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**
```bash
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**
```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.
2. Suggest the user review the downloaded skill before loading it to confirm it contains expected instructions:
```bash
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.
