Getting Started

How It Works
AISPM maintains an aispm.json manifest in your project root that tracks installed skills:
{
"skills": {
"code-reviewer": {
"version": "1.2.0",
"model": "claude",
"path": ".claude/commands/code-reviewer.md",
"installedAt": "2026-04-05T12:00:00.000Z"
}
}
}
Skill content (Markdown instructions) is fetched from the AISPM registry and written to the appropriate model directory. Your AI assistant picks up the instructions automatically.
