        const prompt = `Set up this environment so I can build with CrewAI.

First install the official CrewAI coding-agent skills if this environment supports npx:

npx skills add crewaiinc/skills

If npx is missing or the current agent cannot load skills, do not fail the whole setup. Report the exact issue and continue using the CrewAI docs directly.

Use these CrewAI docs as source of truth before making assumptions:
- https://skills.crewai.com
- https://docs.crewai.com/llms.txt
- https://docs.crewai.com/en/installation
- https://docs.crewai.com/en/guides/coding-tools/build-with-ai

Setup steps:
1. Check python3 --version. CrewAI requires Python >=3.10 and <3.14.
2. Install uv if missing:
   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
3. Source the uv environment if needed:
   source "$HOME/.local/bin/env"
4. Install the CrewAI CLI:
   uv tool install crewai
5. Verify the CLI:
   crewai version
   crewai create --help
6. Create a project:
   CREWAI_DMN=true crewai create
7. After project creation, inspect the generated files before editing.
8. Run:
   crewai install
   crewai run

Do not hardcode API keys. Use .env.
Do not invent CLI flags. Validate with crewai --help or crewai create --help.
If a command fails, show the exact command and error, explain the likely cause, fix what you can safely fix, and retry once.`;
