Install the Merlon Docs skill
Install
Section titled “Install”npx skills add Merlon-Docs/merlon --skill merlon-docsUse -a / --agent to target a specific host when you have more than one agent
installed (for example -a cursor or -a claude-code).
The skills CLI copies or symlinks the
skill into the selected agent’s project (or global) skills directory. Exact
paths depend on the agent — see Supported Agents
(for example .agents/skills/ for Cursor/Amp project installs, .claude/skills/
for Claude Code, .windsurf/skills/ for Windsurf).
Zero-install: copy the merlon-docs skill folder into the skills directory your
agent discovers (same Supported Agents list), not a single fixed path.
After install
Section titled “After install”The merlon-docs skill is the whole pack: it picks the workflow for each task
(bootstrap, docs-only, design, feature, UX, doc review) and loads only that
workflow’s file. You install only this one skill.
Start a bootstrap session in natural language:
/merlon-docs help me get startedThe agent asks for FEATURE, PERSONA, and EXPERIENCE before installing or
writing shards. After bootstrap succeeds, it can offer a guided first feature
(design → feature → UX → doc-only) using a recommended example or one you
choose.
The consumer install is the merlon-docs skill alone.
CLI still required
Section titled “CLI still required”The skill relies on the merlon CLI. cli-and-scripts.md in this folder says
how to install it and what each command does.
