## Manual Installation

For development, customization, or offline use:

### Prerequisites

- **Python 3.7+** (for running analysis scripts)
- **Git** (for cloning repository)
- **Claude AI account** or **Claude Code** (for using skills)

### Step 1: Clone Repository

```bash
git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git
cd claude-skills
```

### Step 2: Install Dependencies (Optional)

Most scripts use Python standard library only:

```bash
# Optional dependencies for future features
pip install pyyaml
```

### Step 3: Manual Copy to Agent Directory

#### For Claude Code

```bash
# Copy all skills
cp -r marketing-skill ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r c-level-advisor ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r product-team ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r project-management ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r engineering-team ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r ra-qm-team ~/.claude/skills/

# Or copy single skill
cp -r marketing-skill/content-creator ~/.claude/skills/content-creator
```

#### For Cursor

```bash
# Copy to project directory
mkdir -p .cursor/skills
cp -r marketing-skill .cursor/skills/
```

#### For VS Code/Copilot

```bash
# Copy to project directory
mkdir -p .github/skills
cp -r engineering-team .github/skills/
```

### Step 4: Verify Python Tools

```bash
# Test marketing tools
python marketing-skill/content-creator/scripts/brand_voice_analyzer.py --help
python marketing-skill/content-creator/scripts/seo_optimizer.py --help

# Test C-level tools
python c-level-advisor/cto-advisor/scripts/tech_debt_analyzer.py --help
python c-level-advisor/ceo-advisor/scripts/strategy_analyzer.py --help

# Test product tools
python product-team/product-manager-toolkit/scripts/rice_prioritizer.py --help
python product-team/ui-design-system/scripts/design_token_generator.py --help
```

---

## Verification & Testing

### Verify Universal Installer Installation

```bash
# Check Claude Code installation
ls ~/.claude/skills/

# Check Cursor installation
ls .cursor/skills/

# Check VS Code installation
ls .github/skills/

# Check Goose installation
ls ~/.config/goose/skills/
```

### Test Skill Usage

#### In Claude Code

1. Open Claude Code
2. Start a new conversation
3. Test a skill:
   ```
   Using the content-creator skill, analyze this text for brand voice:
   "Our platform revolutionizes data analytics..."
   ```

#### In Cursor

1. Open Cursor
2. Use Cmd+K or Ctrl+K
3. Reference skill:
   ```
   @content-creator analyze brand voice for this file
   ```

### Test Python Tools Locally

```bash
# Create test file
echo "Sample content for analysis" > test-article.txt

# Run brand voice analysis
python ~/.claude/skills/content-creator/scripts/brand_voice_analyzer.py test-article.txt

# Run SEO optimization
python ~/.claude/skills/content-creator/scripts/seo_optimizer.py test-article.txt "sample keyword"
```

## Troubleshooting

### Universal Installer Issues

#### Issue: "Command not found: npx"

**Solution:** Install Node.js and npm

```bash
# macOS
brew install node

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm

# Windows
# Download from https://nodejs.org/
```

#### Issue: "Failed to install skills"

**Solution:** Check network connection and permissions

```bash
# Check network
curl https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills

# Check write permissions
ls -la ~/.claude/
```

#### Issue: "Skills not showing in agent"

**Solution:** Restart agent and verify installation location

```bash
# Verify installation
ls -R ~/.claude/skills/

# Restart Claude Code
# Close and reopen application
```

### Manual Installation Issues

#### Issue: Python scripts not executable

**Solution:** Add execute permissions

```bash
chmod +x marketing-skill/content-creator/scripts/*.py
chmod +x c-level-advisor/*/scripts/*.py
chmod +x product-team/*/scripts/*.py
```

#### Issue: "Module not found" errors

**Solution:** Install required dependencies

```bash
# Install Python dependencies
pip install pyyaml

# Or use Python 3 specifically
pip3 install pyyaml
```

#### Issue: Skills not recognized by agent

**Solution:** Verify SKILL.md format and location

```bash
# Check SKILL.md exists
ls ~/.claude/skills/content-creator/SKILL.md

# Verify YAML frontmatter
head -20 ~/.claude/skills/content-creator/SKILL.md
```

### Agent-Specific Issues

#### Claude Code

```bash
# Reset skills directory
rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/

# Reinstall
npx agent-skills-cli add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --agent claude
```

#### Cursor

```bash
# Cursor uses project-local skills
# Verify project directory has .cursor/skills/

ls .cursor/skills/
```

#### VS Code/Copilot

```bash
# GitHub Copilot uses .github/skills/
# Verify directory structure

ls .github/skills/
```
