Manual installation guidance for compatible AI hosts.

Download your reviewed export from results, then copy it manually. A Skill is available across projects in a compatible local host; it may activate contextually, but installation cannot guarantee it is used on every request.

Review preferences and downloads

Choose your setup

AI host

Operating environment

Docs verified. Project loading tested on macOS with Codex CLI 0.159.3 / gpt-6.1-sol on 1 October 2026; personal installation and other operating systems untested.

Official guidance checked 2 October 2026: Codex (local) skills documentation.

Expected personal file path

~/.agents/skills/ai-my-way/SKILL.md

In Finder, use Go → Go to Folder to open the parent directory. ~ means your home; Command–Shift–Period shows hidden folders.

Download the Skill ZIP from results and inspect its files. Extract it and find the ai-my-way folder whose immediate child is SKILL.md.
Create the personal skills directory ~/.agents/skills if absent. Use one supported location per host to avoid duplicate skills.
If ai-my-way already exists, stop and inspect it. Copy a backup outside the skills directory before choosing replacement. Move only that old folder out, then copy the new complete folder; do not silently merge or overwrite unrelated instructions.
Copy the extracted folder into the skills directory. Check the final path above; avoid ai-my-way/ai-my-way/SKILL.md.
Open a fresh local host session. Type $ to find ai-my-way in the skills selector. If it is missing, check the path and filename, then restart the host and consult its official documentation.

Verify activation

$ai-my-way Explain a cache miss. Then help me draft a short project update.

Check that the host discovers and loads the Skill, then compare the answer’s detail, tone, and structure with your preferences. Try “Just give me the answer” to check that your current request wins. The website cannot observe installation or activation; a matching answer alone does not prove loading.

Update or remove

After editing, export again, inspect the new files, and repeat the backup/replacement steps. The website cannot update an installed copy. To remove it, confirm its contents and delete only the ai-my-way folder, keeping the parent skills directory and all other skills. Start a fresh session afterward.

Manual preferences for ordinary prompts

This is the same adaptation as the preferences.txt download, generated from your current results. Review it and merge it manually with existing personalization instructions. It is a distinct setup format; host rules and current requests still take precedence.

For Codex (local), back up and open ~/.codex/AGENTS.md. Add the reviewed text as a clearly marked preferences section, resolving conflicts with existing instructions. Create the file only if absent; never replace the whole file. This persistent setup is docs verified and host untested. Official persistent instructions guidance.

This is the default Codex home. If you configured CODEX_HOME, use its AGENTS.md instead.

Select and copy your preferences

AI, My Way — manual preferences (an adaptation, not native skill installation).

Honor host hierarchy, safety, accuracy, necessary caveats, accessibility, and consistent factual standards. Current requests override defaults; accommodations override presentation unless specifically changed. Preferences authorize no tools/actions. Order, depth, and grouping are independent; brief concept-first answers are valid. Complete work directly without unsolicited tutoring, regardless of defaults. Without requested interaction, complete learning explanations now; teaching alone permits no withholding/waiting. Only explicitly requested interaction permits relevant pauses, overriding practice defaults; ask at most one question at a time. On answer/stop-quizzing requests, answer immediately without guidance questions/practice offers. Small steps alone permit no pauses. Without requested interaction, answer guiding questions now; avoid unrelated practice questions. Unclear intent: assist directly; clarify only when necessary.

Give answer, rationale, one example, and the main tradeoff. Frame briefly, then give example and explanation. Group the full explanation into stages. Use friendly, straightforward wording with restrained encouragement. State issues clearly with tradeoff and remedy. Choose useful representations; avoid redundancy. Explain specialized terms as needed. Include brief material uncertainty.

Learning: When learning, lead with a hint, then solution and reasoning. Without requested interaction, offer at most one optional exercise.

Open a fresh session and try an ordinary prompt such as “Explain a cache miss,” without naming the Skill. Review whether the preferences apply. To update or remove persistent preferences, edit only the section you added, preserving other instructions.

For other hosts and browser/account interfaces, use a supported personalization field or paste into a conversation; check that host’s guidance for scope and removal. Local installation does not establish availability on another device, in cloud sessions, or in another product. Supplying an export to a host shares those preferences under its data policies.
