+If `picgen` is not available, install the CLI first:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @ai-agent-tools/picgen@latest
+```
+
+To install or update this skill for supported agents, prefer the standard Skills installer:
+
+```bash
+npx -y skills add ai-agent-tools/picgen --skill picgen -g -y --copy
+```
+
+For Codex only, the CLI also provides a direct fallback:
+
+```bash
+picgen skill install codex --force

+After installing or updating a skill, the user may need to restart the agent or open a new session before the skill is visible.

+## Provider Setup

+When terminal prompts are visible to the user, `picgen setup` is acceptable.
+
+When running inside an agent environment where interactive terminal prompts are not visible, do not run `picgen setup` as a blocking wizard. Ask the user for:
