Agent Install Guide

Overview

AI agents need deterministic, verifiable instructions. Unlike humans who can infer "download to a safe place", AI agents need exact paths and explicit success criteria.

This skill provides principles for writing "Agent-Ready" installation guides.

When to Use

• Creating installation or setup documentation
• Writing guides that AI agents will execute
• Documenting installation for automation

Workflow

1. Ask for filename: User may have a preferred location (e.g., docs/setup.md, INSTALL.md). If no preference, suggest INSTALL.md.
2. Apply principles: Follow the core principles below when writing.
3. Offer README integration: After creating the guide, ask if user wants to add a reference to their project README.
