+
+1. **Prompt for Path**:
+```
+Enter custom path for Claude (or press Enter for default):
+> /opt/agentic-kit/claude
+```
+
+2. **Validate Path**:
+```
+Validating path: /opt/agentic-kit/claude
+
+  ✓ Path is absolute
+  ✓ Parent directory exists
+  ✓ Write permissions verified
+  ✓ Sufficient disk space (50 MB available)
+  ⚠ Directory does not exist (will be created)
+```
+
+3. **Confirm Custom Path**:
+```
+╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
+║            Custom Path Confirmation           ║
+╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════╝
+
+Tool: Claude
+Proposed Path: /opt/agentic-kit/claude
+Default Path:  /home/user/.claude/
+
+This is different from the default path.
+
+Validation Results:
+  ✓ Path is valid and writable
+  ✓ Sufficient disk space available
+  ⚠ Directory will be created
+
+Do you want to proceed with this custom path? (y/N):
+```
+
+### Path Validation Rules
+
+The installer validates paths for safety and compatibility:
+
+**Required**:
+- ✓ Absolute path (not relative)
+- ✓ Parent directory exists
+- ✓ Write permissions
+- ✓ At least 50 MB free space
+
+**Warnings** (allowed with confirmation):
+- ⚠ Directory doesn't exist (will be created)
+- ⚠ Directory already exists (may overwrite)
+
+**Errors** (installation blocked):
+- ✗ Parent directory missing
+- ✗ No write permissions
+- ✗ Insufficient disk space
+
+### Path Examples
+
+**Valid Paths**:
+```bash
+# Home directory (default)
+/home/user/.claude/
+
+# Project-specific
+/home/user/projects/my-app/.agentic/claude/
+
+# Team shared
+/opt/team/ai-tools/claude/
+
+# External drive
+/mnt/external/agentic-kit/claude/
+
+# With tilde expansion
+~/.config/agentic-kit/claude/
+```
+
+**Invalid Paths**:
+```bash
+# Relative path (missing leading /)
+./claude/
+
+# Non-existent parent
+/nonexistent/parent/claude/
+
+# System directory without permissions
+/usr/bin/claude/
+
+# Windows-style on Linux
+C:\Users\user\claude\
+```
+
+### Tilde (~) Expansion
+
+The installer automatically expands `~` to your home directory:
+
+```bash
+# You enter:
+~/.claude/
+
+# Expands to:
+/home/user/.claude/
+```
+
+### Multiple Tool Paths
+
+Each tool can have its own custom path:
+
+```
+Configure Paths:
+
+  Claude:   /opt/agentic/claude/     (custom)
+  Opencode: /home/user/.opencode/    (default)
+  Ampcode:  /opt/agentic/ampcode/    (custom)

+## FAQ
+
+### General Questions
+
+#### Q: What is Agentic Kit?
+
+**A**: Agentic Kit is a collection of AI agents and skills that enhance AI-powered development tools like Claude, Opencode, Ampcode, and Droid. It provides pre-built agents for common tasks (code generation, refactoring, testing) and skills for specific capabilities (document processing, design, automation).
+
+#### Q: Which variant should I choose?
+
+**A**:
+- **First-time users**: Start with **Standard** (recommended)
+- **Just trying it out**: Use **Lite** (minimal)
+- **Need all features**: Choose **Pro** (complete)
+
+#### Q: Can I install multiple tools?
+
+**A**: Yes! You can install all 4 tools simultaneously. Each tool is completely isolated with no conflicts. They can even use different variants.
+
+#### Q: How much disk space do I need?
+
+**A**:
+- Lite: ~510 KB per tool
+- Standard: ~8.4 MB per tool
+- Pro: ~9 MB per tool
+- Plus: 50 MB minimum free space required
+
+#### Q: Can I upgrade from Lite to Standard or Pro later?
+
+**A**: Yes! Simply run the installer again and select the new variant. The installer will detect your existing installation and upgrade it.
+
+---
+
+### Installation Questions
+
+#### Q: Where are tools installed by default?
+
+**A**:
+- Claude: `~/.claude/`
+- Opencode: `~/.opencode/`
+- Ampcode: `~/.ampcode/`
+- Droid: `~/.droid/`
+
+These paths are automatically detected by each tool.
+
+#### Q: Can I install to a custom location?
+
+**A**: Yes! When prompted "Do you want to customize any paths? (y/N)", answer `y` and enter your preferred path. The installer will validate it for you.
+
+#### Q: How long does installation take?
+
+**A**:
+- Lite: ~10 seconds
+- Standard: ~30 seconds
+- Pro: ~60 seconds
+
+Times vary based on system performance.
+
+#### Q: Can I install without user interaction?
+
+**A**: Yes! Use silent mode:
+```bash
+agentic-kit install --silent --variant=standard --tools=claude
+```
+
+#### Q: Do I need sudo/admin permissions?
+
+**A**: Not for default paths (in your home directory). You only need elevated permissions if installing to system directories like `/opt/` or `/usr/local/`.
+
+---
+
+### Variant Questions
+
+#### Q: What's the difference between Standard and Pro?
+
+**A**: Standard includes 8 core skills (document processing, design, branding). Pro adds 14 advanced skills (ML, blockchain, DevOps, security, etc.). Size difference is only ~600 KB.
+
+#### Q: Can I mix variants across tools?
+
+**A**: Yes! You can install Claude Standard, Opencode Lite, and Ampcode Pro simultaneously. Each tool's variant is independent.
+
+#### Q: Will Lite work for professional development?
+
+**A**: Lite is suitable for basic code generation but lacks document processing and advanced features. We recommend Standard for professional use.
+
