Original Request

add comment to install.sh

Enhanced Requirements

The installation script (scripts/install.sh) needs comprehensive documentation comments to improve maintainability and user understanding. The script currently has basic comments but lacks detailed explanations of:

  1. Purpose and overview - What the script accomplishes and its role in the Machiners Platoon system
  2. Prerequisites - What users need before running the script (curl, bash version, permissions)
  3. Step-by-step explanations - Detailed comments for each major section
  4. File descriptions - What each downloaded workflow and action file does
  5. Error handling - Explanation of the set -e directive and error scenarios
  6. Post-installation - Next steps after successful installation

Acceptance Criteria

  • Add comprehensive header comment explaining script purpose and usage
  • Document prerequisites and system requirements
  • Add detailed comments for each major section (directory creation, workflow downloads, custom action downloads)
  • Include descriptions of what each downloaded file does and its role in the system
  • Explain error handling strategy (set -e)
  • Add comments about expected output and success indicators
  • Ensure comments follow shell script documentation best practices
  • Maintain script functionality while adding documentation

Dependencies

None - this is a standalone documentation enhancement.

Complexity Estimate

Low - This is a straightforward documentation task that involves adding comments to an existing, working script without changing its functionality. The script is relatively short (30 lines) and has a clear structure that just needs better documentation.
