+# Package Script Writer - AI Integration Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+Package Script Writer (PSW) is officially recognized as an **Umbraco Backoffice Skill** for AI-assisted development workflows. This integration enables AI assistants like Claude Code to automatically set up Umbraco installations on behalf of developers.
+
+---
+
+## 🤖 What is an Umbraco Backoffice Skill?
+
+Umbraco Backoffice Skills are standardized capabilities that AI assistants can use to interact with and manage Umbraco CMS installations. PSW is one of the official skills, enabling AI to:
+
+- Generate Umbraco installation scripts
+- Execute setup commands automatically
+- Configure projects with specific packages
+- Handle unattended installations
+- Manage database configurations
+
+**Official Repository**: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS-Backoffice-Skills
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Use Cases
+
+### 1. Conversational Development
+
+**User**: *"Set up a new Umbraco site with uSync and SQLite"*
+
+**AI Assistant**: *Uses PSW skill to automatically execute:*
+```bash
+export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools" && psw -d \
+    -n MyProject -s MySolution -u \
+    --database-type SQLite \
+    -p "uSync" \
+    --admin-email admin@test.com \
+    --admin-password SecurePass1234 \
+    --auto-run
+```
+
+### 2. Complex Multi-Step Workflows
+
+**User**: *"Create three Umbraco sites: dev, staging, and production, each with different configurations"*
+
+**AI Assistant**: Uses PSW skill to generate and execute three separate configurations automatically.
+
+### 3. Learning and Experimentation
+
+**User**: *"I want to try the Bootstrap Starter Kit. Set it up for me."*
+
+**AI Assistant**: Uses PSW skill to install the template, configure the project, and start the server - all from a single request.
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Technical Details
+
+### Command Structure for AI Integration
+
+The AI skill uses a specific command structure optimized for automated workflows:
+
+```bash
+export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools" && psw -d \
+    -n ProjectName \
+    -s SolutionName \
+    -u \
+    --database-type SQLite \
+    --admin-email admin@test.com \
+    --admin-password SecurePass1234 \
+    --auto-run
+```
+
+### Critical Flags for AI Workflows
+
+| Flag | Purpose | Required |
+|------|---------|----------|
+| `-d, --default` | Generate full installation script | ✅ Yes |
+| `-u, --unattended-defaults` | Use unattended install mode | Recommended |
+| `--auto-run` | Execute script immediately | For automation |
+| `--database-type` | Specify database (SQLite, LocalDb, etc.) | Recommended |
+| `--admin-email` | Set admin email | With `-u` |
+| `--admin-password` | Set admin password | With `-u` |
+
+### Background Execution
+
+AI assistants run PSW with `run_in_background: true` because Umbraco operates as a long-running web server:
+
+```
+The AI monitors the output for:
+- Listening port notification
+- Server readiness
+- Error messages
+```
+
+### PATH Management
+
+The skill ensures PSW is available by adding the .NET tools directory to PATH:
+
+```bash
+export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools"
+```
+
+This handles systems where global .NET tools aren't in the default PATH.

+*"PSW isn't just a CLI tool you run manually - it's being integrated into AI-powered development workflows. Umbraco officially recognizes PSW as a backoffice skill."*
+
+### The Big Picture
+*"Imagine describing what you want to an AI, and it uses PSW to set up your entire Umbraco environment. That's not the future - it's happening now."*
+
+### Technical Excellence
+*"The skill handles everything: PATH management, installation verification, background execution, and server monitoring. It's a complete, production-ready integration."*
+
+### Official Recognition
+*"This is in Umbraco's official repository. PSW is recognized as a core capability for AI-assisted Umbraco development."*
+
+### Future Vision
+*"This is where development is heading. From natural language conversation to running production-ready Umbraco sites - all automated."*

+
+## 🚀 Live Demo Script
+
+### Option 1: Show the Command Structure
+
+```bash
+# This is what an AI assistant executes when you ask for an Umbraco site
+export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools" && psw -d \
+    -n AIGeneratedProject \
+    -s AIGeneratedSolution \
+    -u \
+    --database-type SQLite \
+    --admin-email admin@test.com \
+    --admin-password SecurePass1234 \
+    --auto-run
+```
+
+**Talking Points**:
+- *"Notice the `-d` flag - required for full script generation"*
+- *"The `--auto-run` flag means complete automation"*
+- *"PATH management ensures it works everywhere"*
+- *"Background execution handles long-running servers"*
+
+### Option 2: Show the Documentation
+
+Open the GitHub URL and walk through:
+
+```
+https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS-Backoffice-Skills/blob/main/plugins/umbraco-backoffice-skills/skills/package-script-writer/SKILL.md
+```
+
+**Talking Points**:
+- *"This is the official skill documentation"*
+- *"Maintained by Umbraco in their official repo"*
+- *"Used by AI assistants to automate Umbraco setup"*
+- *"Complete workflow from verification to execution"*
+
+### Option 3: Explain the Workflow
+
+Walk through the three-step process:
+
+1. **Verify Installation**
+   - AI checks if PSW is available: `psw --version`
+   - If not found, explains PATH setup
+   - If still not found, installs it: `dotnet tool install --global PackageScriptWriter.Cli`
+
+2. **Execute Command**
+   - AI constructs the appropriate command with all flags
+   - Runs it in the background
+   - Monitors output for completion
+
+3. **Monitor Startup**
+   - AI watches for "Listening on port..." message
+   - Verifies server responds on that port
+   - Reports readiness to user
