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
- Run
npx skills find [domain] [task]— specific beats generic ("react testing" > "testing") - If no results: try synonyms ("deploy" / "deployment" / "ci-cd")
- Check
acedergren/agentic-toolsdirectly 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
-gunless 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 findexhausts all options — check known sources table above for OCI/workflow skills that may not be indexed yet
