On npm 7+, `--` causes npm to treat subsequent flags as package names, resulting in a 404 error. Replace with `npx` which correctly passes flags to the install script. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`npm i -g @chrisai/seed` registers the bin but does not run the installer to copy files to ~/.claude/commands/seed/. Replace all install commands with `npx @chrisai/seed` which correctly executes the install script across all npm versions.

npx doesn't work either. Claude is trying to read files from .claude/skills/seed/ not from .claude/commands/seed/ so it fails. I had to manually copy seed dir from commands to skills and then it worked. |

Global install (Fixes
npm i -g @chrisai/seedinstalls silently butseedcommand is not available #1):npm i -g @chrisai/seedregisters theseedbinary but never runs the installer to copy files to~/.claude/commands/seed/.

Use
npx @chrisai/seedfor all install methods, which directly executes the install script and correctly passes flags like--localand--config-dir.Tested
npx @chrisai/seed— installs to~/.claude/commands/seed/npx @chrisai/seed --local— installs to./.claude/commands/seed/(project only)🤖 Generated with Claude Code
