AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The ai-ready skill provides a streamlined way to install and update the ai-ready tool, which automates the creation of AI-specific configuration files for software repositories. By acting as a bridge to the source repository, this skill ensures that users always have access to the most current version of the tool, which generates essential documentation like AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, and various CI workflows based on existing codebase patterns.

What it does

Provides instructions for installing the ai-ready skill via the Copilot CLI.
Ensures the user always accesses the latest version of the ai-ready tool.
Guides the user through the verification and reloading process for new skills.
Facilitates the setup of repository-specific AI configuration files.

When to use it

When you need to prepare a new or existing codebase for AI-assisted development.
When you want to automate the generation of AI-related documentation and workflows.
When you need to ensure your repository configuration is up to date with current AI best practices.

Advantages

Maintains a single source of truth for the ai-ready tool.
Simplifies the installation and update process for developers.
Promotes security by requiring user review before skill execution.

Usage examples

“make this repo ai-ready”: The agent will guide you through installing the ai-ready skill, which then analyzes your codebase to generate relevant AI configuration files and workflows.
“set up AI config”: The agent provides the necessary commands to add and reload the ai-ready skill, enabling the automated creation of your project's AI instructions.

Install

Download the skill as a ZIP:
https://mp-staging.autogineer.com/agent-skills/github/ai-ready/download
Unzip it into the cross-client skills folder of your project:
```
mkdir -p .agents/skills && unzip ai-ready.zip -d .agents/skills
```

Documentation by johnpapa

This skill helps the user install the latest ai-ready skill by John Papa.

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.

Steps

Tell the user to add the skill by running this command inside Copilot CLI:
```
/skills add johnpapa/ai-ready
```
This 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.md
```
After the user confirms they've reviewed and installed it, tell them to reload skills with /skills reload and then say make this repo ai-ready.
Do not run the command on the user's behalf. The user must run it themselves.
