## Workflow

1. Search for skills matching the user's request using `search_skills`
2. Present results with title, description, author, and file list
3. If the user picks a skill, retrieve it with `get_skill` to get all files
4. Install by saving files to the user's chosen skill directory and verify the SKILL.md exists
5. Confirm installation and explain what the skill does and when it activates

## Example

```
search_skills({"query": "code review", "limit": 5, "category": "coding"})
get_skill({"id": "abc123"})
```

## Available Tools

Use these prompts.chat MCP tools:

- `search_skills` - Search for skills by keyword
- `get_skill` - Get a specific skill by ID with all its files

## How to Search for Skills

Call `search_skills` with:

- `query`: The search keywords from the user's request
- `limit`: Number of results (default 10, max 50)
- `category`: Filter by category slug (e.g., "coding", "automation")
- `tag`: Filter by tag slug

Present results showing:
- Title and description
- Author name
- File list (SKILL.md, reference docs, scripts)
- Category and tags
- Link to the skill

## How to Get a Skill

Call `get_skill` with:

- `id`: The skill ID

Returns the skill metadata and all file contents:
- SKILL.md (main instructions)
- Reference documentation
- Helper scripts
- Configuration files

## How to Install a Skill

When the user asks to install a skill:

1. Call `get_skill` to retrieve all files
2. Confirm the target host and choose an installation root such as `<user-skill-root>/{slug}/` or `<workspace-skill-root>/{slug}/`
3. Save each file to the appropriate location:
  - `SKILL.md` → `<skill-root>/{slug}/SKILL.md`
  - Other files → `<skill-root>/{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
- Keep installation instructions host-agnostic unless the user explicitly asks for one platform
