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

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

Step 2: Install Dependencies (Optional)

Most scripts use Python standard library only:

# Optional dependencies for future features
pip install pyyaml

Step 3: Manual Copy to Agent Directory

For Claude Code

# 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

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

For VS Code/Copilot

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

Step 4: Verify Python Tools

# 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

Verification & Testing

Verify Universal Installer Installation

# 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

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

# Run brand voice analysis

Troubleshooting

Universal Installer Issues

Issue: "Command not found: npx"

Solution: Install Node.js and npm

# 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

# 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

# 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

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

# 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

# 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

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

# Reinstall
npx ai-agent-skills install alirezarezvani/claude-skills --agent claude

Cursor

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

ls .cursor/skills/

VS Code/Copilot

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

ls .github/skills/
