Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Skill for managing the VisuoSpatial Sketchpad — Earl's living-room TV dashboard. This covers starting the HTTP server, launching the kiosk browser, and updating earl_mind.json via the Python API. All file paths below use {baseDir} to mean this skill's root directory (the repo root containing VisuoSpatialSketchpad/).
Wake requests ("Earl wake up", "Could not sync", "Earl is sleeping") Start the local server (see Server Management) Launch the kiosk browser (see Launching the Kiosk) Confirm health: watch for GET /earl_mind.json ... 200 in the server log Content updates (mood, house stuff, hot takes, doodles, weather) Use the EarlMind API from {baseDir}/VisuoSpatialSketchpad/earl_api.py Relaunch the kiosk after changes if the display looks stale
Start the HTTP server from the VisuoSpatialSketchpad directory: cd {baseDir}/VisuoSpatialSketchpad && python3 -m http.server 8000 Background the process so the shell prompt returns.
macOS / Linux: lsof -ti:8000 | xargs kill -9 Windows (PowerShell): Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 8000).OwningProcess | Stop-Process -Force
macOS: open -a "Google Chrome" --args --kiosk http://localhost:8000/sketchpad.html If Chrome is unavailable, Safari works too: open -a Safari http://localhost:8000/sketchpad.html Windows (PowerShell): Start-Process msedge.exe '--kiosk http://localhost:8000/sketchpad.html --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen' Linux: xdg-open http://localhost:8000/sketchpad.html Or for a true kiosk with Chromium: chromium-browser --kiosk http://localhost:8000/sketchpad.html Always relaunch after a wake cycle — the browser may cache the old page.
All methods live in {baseDir}/VisuoSpatialSketchpad/earl_api.py. Run from the VisuoSpatialSketchpad directory: from earl_api import EarlMind mind = EarlMind() Each mutating method auto-saves and bumps meta.last_updated / meta.update_count.

Run the weather helper to fetch live Open-Meteo data, update mood/energy, and drop a weather doodle: cd {baseDir}/VisuoSpatialSketchpad && python3 update_weather_ping.py
The dashboard reads {baseDir}/VisuoSpatialSketchpad/earl_mind.json. Top-level structure: { "identity": { name, role, mood, energy (0-1), current_vibe, avatar_expression, photo, photo_caption } "spatial_awareness": { house_name, location: { latitude, longitude, timezone, temperature_unit, wind_speed_unit }, last_sweep, rooms: [...] } "house_stuff": { items: [{ id, title, detail, priority, category, icon }] } "earl_unplugged": [{ id, topic, take, heat (0-1), emoji, date }] "sketchpad": { canvas: [{ id, type ("doodle"|"note"), label, x, y, size, color, note }] } "long_term_patterns": [{ pattern, confidence (0-1), observations }] "meta": { schema_version, last_updated (ISO 8601), update_count } } If you edit JSON directly, always bump meta.last_updated and meta.update_count, and write with ensure_ascii=False, indent=2.
Server keeps dying — Check for duplicate python processes. On macOS/Linux: lsof -i:8000. On Windows: Get-Process python. Browser won't go fullscreen — Kill stray browser processes first. macOS: pkill -f "Google Chrome". Windows: taskkill /IM msedge.exe /F. Content not updating — Relaunch the kiosk to bust any cache. Verify the JSON saved correctly. Weather not working — Check that spatial_awareness.location.latitude and longitude are set (not 0.0) in earl_mind.json. Import error — Make sure you run Python from the VisuoSpatialSketchpad directory, or add it to sys.path.
Restart server -> launch kiosk -> apply content changes -> relaunch kiosk if needed. Follow this every time the house texts "wake up".
