AI Ready

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.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take github/ai-ready from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
