Troubleshooting

$3

If install-global-skills isn't found:
`bash


Run directly

cd {project}
node ~/projects/global-skills-template/lib/setup.js

Or use bash script

bash ~/projects/global-skills-template/scripts/setup-global-skills.sh
`

$3

1. Verify installation:
`bash
ls ~/.claude-docs/skills/ | wc -l # Should show 20
ls ~/.claude-docs/meta/ | wc -l # Should show 6
`

2. Restart the application (Cursor, VS Code, etc.)

3. Check config files are in correct locations

Adding New Skills

If you add new skills to the templates/skills/ or templates/meta/ directories:

1. Add the skill file to templates/skills/ or templates/meta/
2. Update GLOBAL_SKILLS_INDEX.md in templates/ to include the new skill
3. Run install script to update installations:
`bash
install-global-skills
`

The script will:
- Copy new skills to ~/.claude-docs/skills/ or ~/.claude-docs/meta/
- Convert to Codex format (~/.codex/skills/)
- Convert to Cursor format if it's a meta skill (~/.cursor/skills-cursor/)
- Update the GLOBAL_SKILLS_INDEX.md

Note: Existing installations will get the new skills on next run of install-global-skills`.
