Prompting — Installation Guide

For AI agents installing this pack into a user's PAI infrastructure.

AI Agent Instructions

Use Claude Code's native tools (AskUserQuestion, TodoWrite, Bash, Read, Write) to walk the user through this wizard.

Welcome Message

"I'm installing the Prompting skill from the PAI v5.0.0 release.

Meta-prompting standard library — the PAI system for generating, optimizing, and composing prompts programmatically. Owns three pillars: Standards (Anthropic Claude 4.x best practices, context engineering principles, 1,500+ paper synthesis, Fabric pattern system, markdown-first / no-XML-tags); Templates (Handlebars-based — Briefing.hbs, Structure.hbs, Gate.hbs, DynamicAgent.hbs, and eval-specific templates Judge.hbs, Rubric.hbs, TestCase.hbs, Comparison.hbs, Report.hbs used by Agents and Evals skills); and Tools (RenderTemplate.ts for CLI/TypeScript rendering with data-content separation). Philosophy: prompts that write prompts — structure is code, content is data. Delivered 65% token reduction across PAI (53K → 18K tokens) via template extraction. Output is always a prompt to be used elsewhere, not final content. Reference files: Standards.md (complete prompt engineering guide), Tools/RenderTemplate.ts (rendering implementation).

Let me check your system and install."

Phase 1: System Analysis

CLAUDE_DIR="$HOME/.claude"
SKILL_DIR="$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/Prompting"

if [ -d "$SKILL_DIR" ]; then
  echo "EXISTING Prompting skill found at $SKILL_DIR — will back up before install"
else
  echo "Clean install — no existing Prompting skill"
fi

Phase 2: Confirm with User

Ask the user (use AskUserQuestion):

  1. "Install Prompting into ~/.claude/skills/Prompting/? (yes/no)"
  2. If existing skill found: "Back up the existing Prompting to ~/.claude/skills/Prompting.backup-{timestamp}/ first? (yes/no — recommend yes)"

Phase 3: Backup (only if existing)

if [ -d "$SKILL_DIR" ]; then
  BACKUP="$SKILL_DIR.backup-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
  mv "$SKILL_DIR" "$BACKUP"
  echo "Backed up to $BACKUP"
fi

Phase 4: Install

mkdir -p "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills"
cp -R src/ "$SKILL_DIR/"
echo "Installed to $SKILL_DIR"

Phase 5: Verify

Run the file and functional checks in VERIFY.md. Confirm to the user when all checks pass.
