Problem with GenerateSkillIndex Tool

[SimonBlancoE]

I think the following line in the GenerateSkillIndex.ts script is problematic

const PAI_HOME = process.env.PAI_HOME || join(process.env.HOME || '', '.claude');

As I understand the process, you should have process.env.PAI_DIR as a fallback option. In my case, it wouldn't find the Skills directory in the .claude folder, and as far as I was following the instructions, there shouldn't be one at that point at least.

When adding PAI_DIR as a fallback option, the process continued successfully.

[Update]
Same goes for the file SkillSearch.ts

If these files aren't supposed to include PAI_DIR, I am really confused with the configuration.

Fixed! Updated both SkillSearch.ts and GenerateSkillIndex.ts in kai-core-install.md to use the correct resolution order:

const PAI_DIR = process.env.PAI_DIR || process.env.PAI_HOME || join(process.env.HOME || '', '.claude');

Now the tools check PAI_DIR first (as the primary variable), then PAI_HOME (for backwards compatibility), and finally fall back to ~/.claude.

Thanks for catching this!
