Installation

Option A: npx (recommended)

npx e-ink-skill

This installs the skill to Codex by default:

${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/e-ink

You can target another agent or a custom skill root explicitly:

npx e-ink-skill --cursor       # ~/.cursor/skills/e-ink
npx e-ink-skill --claude       # ~/.claude/skills/e-ink
npx e-ink-skill --openclaw     # ~/.openclaw/skills/e-ink
npx e-ink-skill --agents       # ~/.agents/skills/e-ink
npx e-ink-skill --path ~/.agents/skills
npx e-ink-skill --all          # Install to all known skill roots
npx e-ink-skill --uninstall    # Remove from the selected target; Codex by default
