Install vs Answer Directly

SituationDecision
User explicitly asks for a skillInstall
Specialized domain (OCI, Stitch, TDD workflow)Install — domain skills have non-obvious knowledge
General programming questionAnswer 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
