Installation Strategy
When the user wants to install a skill, follow this order strictly:
- **Always try
okx skill add <name>first** — this downloads the skill and installs it to all detected agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) in one step.
- **Only if
addfails**, fall back to manual download:
- Tell the user why
addfailed (network error, npx unavailable, permission issue, etc.)
- Offer
okx skill download <name> --dir <path>as an alternative
- Guide the user to manually unzip and place files in their agent's skill directory
Never skip add and go straight to download unless add has already failed.
