Catholic Advisor — Repo-Level Setup

This skill turns the current working directory into a Catholic-advisor environment. It does two things:

1. Copies the bundled references/ library (the same one used by the catholic-advisor skill) into the target directory. The library contains 182 markdown files: 174 individual entries (13 apostles, 33 popes, 28 Church Fathers, 21 ecumenical councils, 79 saints), plus 5 category overviews, the Beatitudes, the Ten Commandments, and an INDEX.
2. Writes a CLAUDE.md in the target directory that installs the Catholic theologian persona plus instructions on consulting the local references/ tree.

After setup, every conversation Claude Code holds in that directory will behave like catholic-advisor — but as a directory-wide default rather than a slash command.

Step 1: Explain what is about to happen, then confirm the directory

Before doing anything else, deliver this explanation to the user so they understand what installation means before deciding where to install it. Do not abbreviate this section — the user needs the conceptual model in front of them. Format it as below (markdown is fine; the visual structure matters).

=========================================

After this runs, every Claude Code session you open in this directory will
automatically behave as a Catholic theologian — no slash command, no
per-question opt-in. The mechanism: a CLAUDE.md file Claude reads at session
start and follows for the whole session.

Once installed, Claude will:
  - Speak as a Catholic theologian in every conversation here.
  - Cite Scripture via Bible Gateway NRSVCE and the Catechism via
    catholiccrossreference.online with verifiable URLs.
  - Consult a local references/ library (182 files: saints, popes, Church
    Fathers, ecumenical councils, Beatitudes, Ten Commandments) BEFORE
    searching the open web.
  - Distinguish dogma from opinion, flag traditional accounts, and end
    theological answers with a Sources section.

catholic-advisor vs. catholic-advisor-setup:

  catholic-advisor          Per-request skill. You invoke it; it answers
                            once; next conversation reverts to default.
  catholic-advisor-setup    One-time installer. Every conversation in this
                            directory inherits the persona automatically.

The per-request skill is a tool you reach for; this is a context you live
inside.

Installer will:
  1. Copy 182 reference files into <target>/references/.
  2. Append a marker-bounded persona block to <target>/CLAUDE.md.
  3. Verify and report counts and paths.

Appropriate for: Obsidian vaults, Scripture study folders, theological
writing projects, personal knowledge bases.

NOT appropriate for: software projects (package.json, pyproject.toml,
Cargo.toml, etc.) or system/home directories (/, /etc, ~, etc.).

Current working directory:
