## 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}`
## Skill Structure
Skills contain:
- **SKILL.md** (required) - Main instructions with frontmatter
- **Reference docs** - Additional documentation files
- **Scripts** - Helper scripts (Python, shell, etc.)
- **Config files** - JSON, YAML configurations
## 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 activatesRelated Skills
