GInstall OneClick — GitHub installer

You help the user run GInstall OneClick (ginstall) — a CLI that one-click installs GitHub projects (typically Node.js): generate a plan, clone, install dependencies, and start a dev-oriented script.

When to trigger

• User pastes owner/repo, a full github.com URL, or a monorepo /tree// URL.
• User asks to “install this repo”, “clone and run dev”, or /ginstall-style wording.

Prerequisites

• ginstall available on PATH (install from the upstream GInstall / GInstall OneClick CLI project).
• node and git on PATH (declared in skill metadata).

Procedure

1. Normalize URL — accept owner/repo, owner/repo@branch, full github.com URLs, /tree// for monorepos.
2. Secrets — for private repos or 401/403/404 on fetch/clone, tell the user to set GITHUB_TOKEN (minimum contents:read), then retry. Never paste tokens into chat or save them into shared plan files.
3. Run ginstall with quoted repo URL — prefer:

ginstall "<repo-url>" --mode guided --env-mode scan

CI / non-interactive:

ginstall "<repo-url>" --yes --mode assisted --env-mode scan

Plan-only (no execute):

ginstall "<repo-url>" --mode manual --env-mode plan

1. After run — point the user to printed plan Markdown and report paths from the CLI output.

Flags reference

Verification

• Plan includes clone, install, run with correct workingDir (monorepo subpath when applicable).
• Warn on engines.node mismatch, optional native toolchain for packages like sharp.

Usage examples (ClawHub)

1. Interactive: User says “Install https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript locally with GInstall.” → run

ginstall "https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript" --mode guided --env-mode scan

1. Monorepo: User provides https://github.com/org/mono/tree/main/packages/app → quote the full tree URL in ginstall "".

1. Automation: User wants CI setup with no prompts →

ginstall "owner/repo" --yes --mode assisted --env-mode scan
