Guide users to review and install the external ai-ready skill from its upstream repository. Use when the user asks to install or try John Papa''s ai-ready skill.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# AI Ready

This skill helps the user review and install the external [ai-ready](https://github.com/johnpapa/ai-ready) `SKILL.md` by [John Papa](https://github.com/johnpapa) into their personal skills directory.

*Why?*: The full ai-ready skill is maintained upstream and may change over time. This helper is a self-contained installer guide; the upstream repository remains an explicit external prerequisite.

## External prerequisite

This package does not vendor the upstream ai-ready skill. Before installing it, ask the user to review the source repository and confirm they are comfortable downloading that external content.

## Steps

1. Tell the user to download the latest `SKILL.md` to their personal skills directory by running one of these commands in their terminal. This will overwrite any existing local copy.

   **bash / zsh**
   ```bash
   mkdir -p ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready
   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johnpapa/ai-ready/main/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md \
     -o ~/.copilot/skills/ai-ready/SKILL.md
   ```

   **PowerShell**
   ```powershell
   New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$HOME/.copilot/skills/ai-ready" | Out-Null
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/ai-ready@sha256:30dddf2319259f1e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.0115f49, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
