How It Works

AISPM maintains an aispm.json manifest in your project root that tracks installed skills:

{
  "skills": {
    "code-reviewer": {
      "version": "1.2.0",
      "model": "claude",
      "path": ".claude/commands/code-reviewer.md",
      "installedAt": "2026-04-05T12:00:00.000Z"
    }
  }
}

Skill content (Markdown instructions) is fetched from the AISPM registry and written to the appropriate model directory. Your AI assistant picks up the instructions automatically.
