Installation Guide
Plugin install (recommended)
Add the marketplace and install:
/plugin marketplace add harrymunro/nelson
/plugin install nelson@nelson-marketplace<details>
<summary>Prompt-based install</summary>
Open Claude Code and say:
Install skills from https://github.com/harrymunro/nelsonClaude will clone the repo, copy the skill into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, and clean up. To install it globally across all projects, ask Claude to install it to ~/.claude/skills/ instead.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Manual install</summary>
Clone the repo and copy the skill directory yourself:
# Project-level (recommended for teams)
git clone https://github.com/harrymunro/nelson.git /tmp/nelson
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/nelson/skills/nelson .claude/skills/nelson
rm -rf /tmp/nelson
# Or user-level (personal, all projects)
cp -r /tmp/nelson/skills/nelson ~/.claude/skills/nelsonThen commit .claude/skills/nelson/ to version control so your team can use it.
Heads up: the manual path installs the skill only. Nelson's [enforcement hooks](#enforcement-hooks) and the bundledsettings.json(which enables agent teams) are wired up automatically by the plugin system via${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}and are not picked up by a skill-only copy. If you rely on the station-tier gate, file ownership checks, or turnover brief validation, use the plugin install above. To enable agent teams with a manual install, add the env var from [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) to your ownsettings.json.

<summary>Updating</summary>
If you have used /plugin marketplace add to install you can run /plugin, arrow over to "Marketplaces", select "nelson-marketplace" and then "Enable auto-updates".
If you not enabled auto-updates you can update the marketplace with: "Marketplaces" -> "nelson-marketplace" -> "Update marketplace".
If those steps don't seem to be working it is best to remove the marketplace ("Marketplaces" -> "nelson-marketplace" -> "Remove marketplace") and re-install so Claude updates the other files it keeps track of concerning marketplaces and plugins.
/plugin marketplace update nelson-marketplace
/plugin install nelson@nelson-marketplaceIf you have installed by copying into skills/ at user or project level then you will need to remove the skills/nelson/ directory and run a Manual install again.

<details>
<summary>Verify installation</summary>

What skills are available?You should see nelson listed. You can also test it by saying "Use Nelson to..." followed by a task.

<summary>Installation for Cursor (Experimental)</summary>
If you have a Team Marketplace for your Cursor you can add nelson there. See Add a team marketplace in the cursor documentation. The needed gihub repository url is https://github.com/harrymunro/nelson.git. Once the marketplace is installed you can install nelson from it.
If you do not have access to a Team Marketplace you can still install locally for Linux and MacOS.
