+### Preset Packages in Workspaces
+
+When you have a preset package within your workspace (a package that provides rules to be consumed by others), you can prevent aicm from installing rules into it by setting `skipInstall: true`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "skipInstall": true,
+  "rulesDir": "./rules",
+  "targets": ["cursor"]
+}
+```
+
+This is useful when your workspace contains both consumer packages (that need rules installed) and provider packages (that only export rules).

 - **overrides**: Map of rule names to `false` (disable) or a replacement file path.
 - **mcpServers**: MCP server configurations.
 - **workspaces**: Set to `true` to enable workspace mode. If not specified, aicm will automatically detect workspaces from your `package.json`.
+- **skipInstall**: Set to `true` to skip rule installation for this package. Useful for preset packages that provide rules but shouldn't have rules installed into them.
