Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-posit-dev-skills-alt-text-alt-text-11e4b34416b226e8/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
