Install Script Generator

Generate robust, cross-platform installation scripts that users can run with a single bash command via GitHub raw URLs. This SKILL.md is a lean index — long templates and tables live under references/ to protect the agent's context budget.

When to Use

• The user asks for a curl | bash one-liner for their project.
• A repo needs a install.sh that auto-detects OS, arch, and package manager.
• A Python/Go/Node/Rust module should be installable in one command from a fresh machine.

Skip this skill for Dockerfiles, CI/CD pipelines, or one-off local shell scripts.

Prerequisites

• The repo has a known <owner>/<repo> (check git remote -v) and a default branch.
• The target software's build system is identifiable (Makefile, package.json, setup.py, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc.).
• python3 is available locally if you plan to run the helper scripts under scripts/.
