Installation

1. Visit the Monocle releases page
2. Download both Monocle-initial-commit.zip and Monocle-initial-commit.zip.sha256 from this release's Assets
3. In Terminal, cd ~/Downloads and validate the downloaded .zip
   • For example: shasum -a 256 -c Monocle-initial-commit.zip.sha256
4. Only if you observe OK, expand the .zip
   • For example: unzip Monocle-initial-commit.zip
5. Validate the unpacked skill's SHA256 matches the skill_sha256 shown above
   • For example: python3 monocle/scripts/verify_report.py --manifest monocle
6. Only after you've confirmed a matching skill_sha256, install the skill:
   1. Claude Code
      • mkdir -pv ~/.claude/skills (as needed)
      • rm -Rfv ~/.claude/skills/monocle (if upgrading, remove the old directory first)
      • cp -Rv monocle ~/.claude/skills/
   2. Codex
      • mkdir -pv ~/.agents/skills (as needed)
      • rm -Rfv ~/.agents/skills/monocle (if upgrading, remove the old directory first)
      • cp -Rv monocle ~/.agents/skills/
7. Re-verify the installed skill
   • Claude Code: python3 ~/.claude/skills/monocle/scripts/verify_report.py --manifest ~/.claude/skills/monocle
   • Codex: python3 ~/.agents/skills/monocle/scripts/verify_report.py --manifest ~/.agents/skills/monocle
