Does Prompter replace my AI coding agent?

No. Prompter installs instructions your agent reads. You keep using Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, or another tool as usual — Prompter shapes how it works rather than replacing it.

Do skills ship inside the npm package?

No. The npm package contains only the CLI. Skills are fetched from the Anvil registry during `prompter init`, according to your account tier, then cached locally.

Can I use it across several projects?

Yes. The CLI is installed once globally and the login applies machine-wide. Run `prompter init` in each project to pick the skills relevant there.

Should I commit the prompter/ directory?

Yes, for specs and changes. That's the point — specs become a shared record of what's built, and proposals can be reviewed in a pull request like code.

Does Prompter send my code to Anvil?

No. The CLI only downloads skill files and validates your license key. Reading your code is done by your own AI agent, on your machine.

How do I update my skills?

Run `prompter update` to refresh the workflow files, and `prompter init` again to pull the latest skill versions from the registry. Update the CLI itself with `prompter upgrade`.
