SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the friction of manually setting up and managing Pear's AI assistant skills across Codex-compatible and Claude Desktop clients, ensuring you always have access to the latest canonical skill library without inconsistent local copies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Tool Bootstrapping: Installs missing required tools like Git, GitHub CLI, and Homebrew on macOS when needed for skill management workflows.
  • On-Demand Skill Syncing: Pulls the latest Pear canonical skill repository and syncs all available skills to your local assistant targets automatically.
  • Enforced Skill Editing Workflow: Ensures all skill creation and edits are made in the canonical source repository first, then synced to local mirrors to avoid divergent copies.
  • Use Case: If you ask your AI assistant to use a Pear skill like check-partner-upc but don't have the skill library installed, this Skill automatically sets up required tools, pulls the canonical repo, and syncs all skills so the requested workflow is ready to use.
