📦 Prerequisites (MANDATORY)

This skill requires the @notyped/gitai CLI tool to be installed and configured on the system BEFORE the agent can operate.

The AGENT MUST NOT attempt to install this package or configure it.

1. CHECK if gitai is available:

   command -v gitai
   

2. IF MISSING, STOP immediately and inform the user:

   "The gitai CLI tool is not installed. Please install it globally (e.g., npm install -g @notyped/gitai) and configure it before using this skill."

3. CHECK if ~/.gitai exists.

4. IF MISSING, STOP immediately and inform the user:

   "The gitai tool is installed but not configured. Please run gitai in your terminal to complete the setup."

5. ONLY PROCEED if both checks pass.
