install
Install AIWG-compatible packages from remote Git repositories into the current workspace
Best use case
install is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
It is a strong fit for teams already working in Codex.
Install AIWG-compatible packages from remote Git repositories into the current workspace
Teams using install should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill

# AIWG Install You install AIWG-compatible packages from remote Git repositories into the current workspace. ## Triggers Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description): - "grab the package from github" → install from Git URL - "pull in owner/repo" → install using shorthand ref - "add a community addon" → install remote package - "install from that repo" → install from Git URL ## Trigger Patterns Reference | Pattern | Example | Action | |---------|---------|--------| | Install by URL | "install from https://github.com/org/pkg" | Run `aiwg install https://github.com/org/pkg` | | Install by shorthand | "install owner/repo" | Run `aiwg install owner/repo` | | Install with branch | "install owner/repo at main" | Run `aiwg install owner/repo#main` | ## Behavior When triggered: 1. **Extract intent**: - What is the Git reference? Accept a full HTTPS URL or an `owner/repo` shorthand (resolved against github.com by default). - Is a specific branch, tag, or commit hash mentioned? Append as `#ref`. 2. **Resolve the reference**: | Input form | Example | Resolved | |------------|---------|----------| | Full URL | `https://github.com/org/pkg` | used as-is | | Shorthand | `org/pkg` | `https://github.com/org/pkg` | | Shorthand + ref | `org/pkg#v1.2.0` | `https://github.com/org/pkg#v1.2.0` | 3. **Run the command**: ```bash # Install by full URL aiwg install https://github.com/owner/aiwg-package # Install by shorthand (github.com assumed) aiwg install owner/aiwg-package # Install a specific branch or tag aiwg install owner/aiwg-package#v2.0.0 ``` 4. **Report the result** inline — confirm the package name, version, and where its artifacts were deployed. Warn if the source does not appear to be a valid AIWG package. ## Examples ### Example 1: Install from a full GitHub URL **User**: "install this addon from git: https://github.com/acme/aiwg-devtools" **Extraction**: Full URL `https://github.com/acme/aiwg-devtools` **Action**: ```bash aiwg install https://github.com/acme/aiwg-devtools ``` **Response**: "Installed aiwg-devtools (v1.3.0) from https://github.com/acme/aiwg-devtools. Artifacts deployed to `.claude/`. Registered in packages registry." ### Example 2: Install using owner/repo shorthand **User**: "install acme/aiwg-devtools" **Extraction**: Shorthand `acme/aiwg-devtools`, resolved to `https://github.com/acme/aiwg-devtools` **Action**: ```bash aiwg install acme/aiwg-devtools ``` **Response**: "Installed aiwg-devtools (v1.3.0) from https://github.com/acme/aiwg-devtools. Artifacts deployed to `.claude/`. Registered in packages registry." ### Example 3: Install a specific version tag **User**: "install acme/aiwg-devtools at v1.2.0" **Extraction**: Shorthand `acme/aiwg-devtools`, ref `v1.2.0` **Action**: ```bash aiwg install acme/aiwg-devtools#v1.2.0 ``` **Response**: "Installed aiwg-devtools (v1.2.0) from https://github.com/acme/aiwg-devtools at tag v1.2.0. Artifacts deployed to `.claude/`." ## Clarification Prompts If the user's intent is ambiguous: - "What is the Git URL or owner/repo shorthand for the package you want to install?" - "Should I install the latest commit on the default branch, or a specific tag or branch?" ## References - @$AIWG_ROOT/src/cli/handlers/install.ts — Install command handler - @$AIWG_ROOT/docs/cli-reference.md — CLI reference
