How to Install a Skill

When the user asks to install a skill:

1. Call get_skill to retrieve all files
2. Create the directory .claude/skills/{slug}/
3. Save each file to the appropriate location:
   • SKILL.md → .claude/skills/{slug}/SKILL.md
   • Other files → .claude/skills/{slug}/{filename}
4. Read back SKILL.md to verify the frontmatter is intact

Guidelines

• Always search before suggesting the user create their own skill
• Present search results in a readable format with file counts
• When installing, confirm the skill was saved successfully
• Explain what the skill does and when it activates
