Is the full skill already installed?
- Global: grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/user-research-cookiy/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- Project: grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/user-research-cookiy/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- No das: block → full skill installed, invoke and proceed
- das: block present → go to step 2

Detect scope, then install:
