@tyler.given/best-practices-config

CI/Docker-safe explicit installer for the best-practices knowledge base.

Unlike @tyler.given/best-practices, this package has no postinstall script and makes no home-directory writes. Content is installed only when you explicitly run the setup command.

Use cases

• CI pipelines (npm install without side effects)
• Docker images (no home-dir pollution)
• Per-repo devDependency (install content into a project-local path)
• Environments without interactive TTY

Install

npm install --save-dev @tyler.given/best-practices-config

Usage

# Interactive — choose domains, install to ./best-practices/
npx @tyler.given/best-practices-config setup

# Specify target directory
npx @tyler.given/best-practices-config setup --target .ai/skills/best-practices

# CI mode — installs all available domains non-interactively (CI env var set automatically)
npx @tyler.given/best-practices-config setup --target .ai/skills/best-practices

What gets installed

• SKILL.md — skill definition (agent navigation + invocation guide)
• categories.md — full domain taxonomy reference
• technology_and_information/ — IT, cybersecurity, data science, AI, git workflow, etc.
• Additional domains based on your selection (or all available in CI mode)
