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. 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. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill sends content to a TRMNL e-ink display device using the webhook API.

Parse the user's request to extract a title and message 2. If only a message is provided, generate an appropriate short title 3. Keep titles concise (under 30 characters recommended) 4. Keep text brief - e-ink displays work best with short, readable content 5. Use Markdown formatting to enhance readability (bold for emphasis, lists for multiple items) 6. If relevant, include an image URL (must be a fully qualified public URL) 7. Send the webhook using the curl command above 8. Confirm to the user what was sent If the user provides arguments like `/trmnl Meeting in 5 minutes`, interpret the first few words as a potential title and the rest as the message, or use your judgment to create an appropriate title/text split. ## Response Handling A successful response looks like: ```json {"message":null,"merge_variables":{"title":"...","text":"..."}} If you see an error message in the response, inform the user of the issue.
The device refreshes periodically, so content may not appear instantly E-ink displays are monochrome - no color support Keep content concise for best readability on the small screen Images must be fully qualified public URLs (e.g., https://example.com/image.png) Images are displayed on the right side in a two-column layout
