How installing works

A pack is a folder of files. Nothing runs in the background, nothing signs you up for anything, and nothing talks to your bank or your email. You copy the folder onto your computer and your assistant starts reading it. Works with Claude Code.

What you actually get

One folder. Inside it: the skills, the templates you fill in with your own details, the scheduled job files, and the test cases we run every night. All of it is plain text you can open and read. You can change any of it.

The three lines you type

Open the terminal, then type these one at a time, pressing enter after each. You can copy them.

1. First, copy the pack onto your computer. This makes a new folder inside whatever folder you are sitting in.

git clone https://github.com/skillorchard/starter-pack.git

2. Then step into that folder, the way you would double-click into it.

cd starter-pack/packs/starter

3. Then run the installer. It copies the files into place and tells you what it put where. On Windows the last line is install.ps1 instead.

bash install.sh
About ten minutes

The three lines take under a minute. The other nine are you filling in the template with your own details: what you charge, who your clients are, how you write, and the things your assistant must never do. That part is the whole point, so do not rush it.

Removing it

Delete the folder. That is the whole uninstall. There is no account to close and nothing left behind on your machine.

Words used above

A skill
a small instruction file your assistant reads. It says how you want a particular job done, in plain writing, and your assistant follows it when the job comes up.
A scheduled job
a reminder your assistant runs at a set time, for example every Friday afternoon. It shows you what it is about to do before it does anything.
A template
a starter file you fill in once, with your rates, your clients and how you write. Your assistant reads it so you stop repeating yourself.
The terminal
the plain text window where you type the three lines below. On a Mac it is called Terminal, on Windows it is PowerShell.
