Read availability and access separately
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Preview only | No installation package is available for this listing. |
| Public package | The archive can be downloaded without HowAI sign-in. |
| Restricted package | Sign-in and the required account entitlement are checked. |
| Untested result | File availability does not establish the output was reproduced in your environment. |
A label about the original offer does not establish whether an installable archive exists on HowAI. Use the installation options and current package state on the detail page.
Match an error to the right guide
| Problem | Start with |
|---|---|
| No package / HTTP 409 | Availability in the installation guide |
| Login required / HTTP 401 | Account authorization in the CLI guide |
| Membership required / HTTP 402 | Your plan and account entitlement |
| Daily limit / HTTP 429 | The reset time and shared account allowance |
| Files exist but Skill not listed | Folder locations and the agent-specific guide |
Keep the error text, CLI version, target directory and package version when reporting a problem. Remove tokens, authorization codes and private project content.
FAQ
Use the command displayed here or on the Skill detail page. The current distribution is the site-hosted .tgz, not a promised npm package.
