Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the /hq-cowork-install — Install the Cowork plugin skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by indigoai-us/hq-core in core/packages/hq-pack-cowork/skills/hq-cowork-install/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

This is the HQ-native setup helper for Cowork.

Run:

core/packages/hq-pack-cowork/scripts/install-cowork-plugin.sh --install

It checks host prerequisites, registers the local hq Claude marketplace, installs/enables hq-cowork@hq, and builds:

~/Downloads/hq-pack-cowork.plugin

and prints the exact Cowork upload and smoke-test steps.

If the user only wants the upload artifact without touching Claude's plugin registry, omit --install.

Optional output path:

core/packages/hq-pack-cowork/scripts/install-cowork-plugin.sh --install --out /tmp/hq-pack-cowork.plugin

After upload, Cowork should be able to use the same HQ behaviors as default HQ sessions through the plugin's host-side MCP transport.
