Installation Issues

Stow Reports Conflicts

If stow -t ~ . reports conflicts, another file already exists at the symlink target.

Fix: Check what’s at the conflicting path and either remove it or back it up:

ls -la ~/.claude/commands/mykit.init.md

If it’s a real file (not a symlink), move it aside before stowing.

Commands Not Found After Install

Claude Code may need to be restarted to discover new commands.

Fix:

1. Restart Claude Code
2. Run /mykit.status to verify commands are detected

Permission Errors

If you get permission errors during install, the ~/.my-kit directory may be owned by root.

Fix:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.my-kit
