Verify Prerequisites

aias update will validate that aia is reachable and that AIA_PROMPTS_DIR is set. You can check manually first:

# Confirm aia is in your login shell PATH
bash -l -c "which aia"

# Confirm AIA_PROMPTS_DIR is set and points to a real directory
echo $AIA_PROMPTS_DIR
ls "$AIA_PROMPTS_DIR"

If aia is not found, install it:

gem install aia

Set AIA_PROMPTS_DIR

Add to your shell profile (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.):

export AIA_PROMPTS_DIR="$HOME/.prompts"

Reload your shell or source the file:

source ~/.zshrc   # or ~/.bashrc
