Installer

Overview

This meta-skill handles installation and setup tasks for intelligent textbook projects. It consolidates three installation skills into a single entry point with on-demand loading of specific installation guides.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when users request:

• Setting up a new MkDocs Material project
• Creating a new intelligent textbook from scratch
• Installing a learning graph viewer
• Setting up skill usage tracking with hooks
• Bootstrapping project infrastructure

Step 1: Identify Installation Type

Match the user's request to the appropriate installation guide:

Routing Table

Trigger Keywords	Guide File	Purpose
new project, mkdocs, textbook, bootstrap, setup, template, new book	references/mkdocs-template.md	Create new MkDocs Material project
graph viewer, learning graph, visualization, interactive graph, concept viewer	references/learning-graph-viewer.md	Add learning graph viewer to existing project
track skills, skill usage, activity tracking, hooks, usage analytics	references/skill-tracker.md	Set up skill tracking with hooks
cover image, home page, social media, og:image, montage, book cover, index page	references/home-page-template.md	Create home page with cover image and social metadata

Decision Tree

Creating a new project/textbook from scratch?
  → YES: mkdocs-template.md

Adding a learning graph viewer to existing project?
  → YES: learning-graph-viewer.md

Setting up skill usage tracking?
  → YES: skill-tracker.md

Creating a cover image or setting up home page with social metadata?

Examples

Example 1: New Textbook Project

User: "I want to create a new intelligent textbook about machine learning" Routing: Keywords "create", "new", "textbook" → references/mkdocs-template.md Action: Read mkdocs-template.md and follow its workflow

Example 2: Add Graph Viewer

User: "Add an interactive viewer for the learning graph" Routing: Keywords "viewer", "learning graph", "interactive" → references/learning-graph-viewer.md Action: Read learning-graph-viewer.md and follow its workflow

Example 3: Track Skill Usage

User: "I want to track which skills I use most often" Routing: Keywords "track", "skills", "usage" → references/skill-tracker.md Action: Read skill-tracker.md and follow its workflow

Example 4: Create Cover Image

User: "Help me create a cover image for my textbook" Routing: Keywords "cover image", "textbook" → references/home-page-template.md Action: Read home-page-template.md and follow its workflow

Example 5: Set Up Home Page with Social Sharing

Common Workflows

Full Project Setup

For a complete new project, users typically run these installations in order:

1. mkdocs-template.md - Create the project structure
2. home-page-template.md - Create cover image and configure home page
3. learning-graph-viewer.md - Add graph visualization (after learning graph exists)
4. skill-tracker.md - Enable usage analytics (optional)

Verification Commands

After any installation, verify with:

# For MkDocs projects
mkdocs serve
# Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/[project-name]/

# For skill tracker
cat ~/.claude/activity-logs/skill-usage.jsonl | tail -5
