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.

ClawBack reads secrets from environment variables or config/secrets.json: { "BROKER_API_KEY": "your-broker-api-key", "BROKER_API_SECRET": "your-broker-api-secret", "BROKER_ACCOUNT_ID": "your-account-id", "TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN": "optional-for-notifications", "TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID": "optional-for-notifications" }
ClawBack uses an adapter pattern for broker integration. Each broker implements a common interface defined in broker_adapter.py.
