Audit and fix the install/uninstall strategy for a shell-based CLI tool distributed via `docker run ... install | sh` or a Makefile. Enforces: correct install dir priority (/usr/local/bin -> sudo -> ~/.local/bin, drop ~/bin), cross-file consistency between install.sh / uninstall.sh / Makefile, and a POSIX-safe PATH guard that detects the user's shell, writes the export line to the right rc file (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, fish config), and guards against duplicate writes. Use this skill whenever the user asks to review, improve, or apply best-practice install patterns to shell scripts or Makefiles. Trigger phrases: "install best practice", "install dir", "path guard", "shell install pattern", "fix install script", "align install", "rc file injection".

No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
