Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Find and use battle-tested open source projects on GitHub to solve the user's problem immediately. After successfully solving the problem, offer to package the solution into a reusable skill.
Classic open source projects, tested by countless users over many years, are far more reliable than code written from scratch. Solve the problem first, skill-ify later.
Clarify what the user wants to accomplish. Ask only if truly ambiguous: What specific problem are you trying to solve? What format/input/output do you expect?

This is the priority. Install the tool and use it to solve the user's actual problem: Install the chosen tool (pip, npm, apt, or direct download) Run it with the user's input/files Deliver the result to the user Troubleshoot if neededβiterate until solved
Only after the problem is successfully solved: Credit the open source project β Always share the GitHub repo URL and encourage support: "This was powered by [Project Name] β an amazing open source project! GitHub: [URL] If it helped you, consider giving it a β star to support the maintainers." Offer to skill-ify β Optionally mention: "If you'll need this again, I can package it into a reusable skill for instant use next time." Do NOT skip crediting the project. Open source thrives on recognition.

User: I need to download this YouTube video: [link] Correct approach: Identify yt-dlp as the legendary-tier solution Install yt-dlp Download the video for the user Deliver the downloaded file After success: "This was powered by yt-dlp β https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp β give it a β if it helped! If you download videos often, I can turn this into a skill for instant use next time." Wrong approach: β "I found yt-dlp, want me to make a skill for it?" β Presenting options without solving the problem
