Update Skills

alma skill update

When to Use

• User asks you to do something you can't do with current tools/skills
• You encounter a task that would benefit from a specialized skill
• User explicitly asks to install or find new capabilities
• Be proactive: if a task fails because you lack a capability, search for a skill before giving up

Self-Evolution Flow

1. User asks: "Check the weather for me"
2. You don't have a weather skill → search: alma skill search weather
3. Found one → install: alma skill install openclaw/weather
4. Now use the new skill to complete the task
5. Next time, the skill is already available

Tips

• Skills from skills.sh are installed to ~/.agents/skills/ and symlinked to ~/.config/alma/skills/
• Project-local skills can live in .alma/skills/ within any project directory
• After installing a skill, it's available in the next conversation turn
• Don't give up on the first failure — search for skills, install them, and try again
