if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'positron-settings' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'positron-settings' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named positron-settings already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/posit-dev/positron' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f98b95ec90086d9efaf6644cd3236adb4c816138' -- 'extensions/positron-skills/templates/positron-settings' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'extensions/positron-skills/templates/positron-settings' ~/.agents/skills/'positron-settings' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'positron-settings' ~/.claude/skills/'positron-settings' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
