Install vs Answer Directly

Situation	Decision
User explicitly asks for a skill	Install
Specialized domain (OCI, Stitch, TDD workflow)	Install — domain skills have non-obvious knowledge
General programming question	Answer directly — no skill needed
User says "can you do X"	Check for skill first, answer directly if none found

Default: check before assuming no skill exists.

Search Strategy

1. Run npx skills find [domain] [task] — specific beats generic ("react testing" > "testing")
2. If no results: try synonyms ("deploy" / "deployment" / "ci-cd")
3. Check acedergren/agentic-tools directly for OCI, auth, and workflow skills

If npx isn't available: npm i -g skills then retry.

When No Results Found

npx skills find [query] returned no matches.
Options:
- I can help directly with my general capabilities
- Create your own: npx skills init my-skill-name

NEVER

• Never install without -g unless user explicitly wants project-local — project-local install puts skills in ./node_modules/.claude/ which most users don't want
• Never skip showing the skills.sh link — users may want to inspect before installing
• Never assume npx skills find exhausts all options — check known sources table above for OCI/workflow skills that may not be indexed yet
