/skills add johnpapa/ai-readyThis downloads the latest version of the skill to their personal skills directory. Re-running the command updates to the latest version.
Remind the user to review the skill before loading it. They can inspect it with:
head -20 ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.mdAfter the user confirms they've reviewed and installed it, tell them to reload skills with
/skills reloadand then saymake this repo ai-ready.Do not run the command on the user's behalf. The user must run it themselves.
