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.
