When to Use
- User asks you to do something you can't do with current tools/skills
- You encounter a task that would benefit from a specialized skill
- User explicitly asks to install or find new capabilities
- Be proactive: if a task fails because you lack a capability, search for a skill before giving up
Self-Evolution Flow
- User asks: "Check the weather for me"
- You don't have a weather skill → search:
alma skill search weather
- Found one → install:
alma skill install openclaw/weather
- Now use the new skill to complete the task
- Next time, the skill is already available

Tips
- Skills from skills.sh are installed to
~/.agents/skills/ and symlinked to ~/.config/alma/skills/
- Project-local skills can live in
.alma/skills/ within any project directory
- After installing a skill, it's available in the next conversation turn
- Don't give up on the first failure — search for skills, install them, and try again
