oo Find Skills

Use this skill when the user wants to discover, compare, recommend, or install existing published skills from the OOMOL or oo skill catalog through oo skills search and oo skills install.

Workflow

1. Normalize the request into a search sentence and keywords

Convert the user request into:

• one short internal intent statement
• one concise English sentence for the search text
• 1 to 3 required keywords or short phrases for the --keywords filter

Rules:

• The sentence must always be in English, regardless of the user's language.
• Keywords are required on every search. Always provide 1 to 3 keywords and never run a search without --keywords.
• Keywords may use the user's original language. Keep product names, brand names, and proper nouns exactly as the user wrote them and do not translate them. For example, keep 滴答清单 as 滴答清单; do not turn it into TickTick.
• The backend tokenizes --keywords, so original-language and product-name keywords reach the catalog entry the user actually wants. The free-text sentence alone runs an untokenized semantic search that can map a localized product onto a different global product.
• The sentence should describe only the user's need itself.
• Prefer a short sentence built from task + capability + domain or constraint.
• Do not add meta words such as skill, skills, search, or install unless the user's actual need depends on those words.
• Avoid filler words.
• Do not exceed 3 keywords.

Examples:

• Sentence: translate scanned images from Japanese to English Keywords: Japanese, image translation
• Sentence: create a task in the dida365 to-do app Keywords: 滴答清单, dida365
• Sentence: generate a QR code from text Keywords: QR code
• Sentence: convert speech to text Keywords: transcription
• Sentence: write Markdown more effectively Keywords: Markdown, writing

Use the sentence as the main search text and always pass the 1 to 3 keywords through --keywords.

2. Search for candidate skills

Always run the keyword-refined form:

oo skills search "<english sentence>" --keywords "<comma-separated keywords>" --json

Then:

• Rank only from the returned JSON array.
• Prefer semantic matches between the original user goal and the returned description, skillDisplayName, or name.
• Keep one primary skill.
• Keep one fallback skill only if it is genuinely plausible.

If the returned array is empty, tell the user there is no matching skill available right now and stop. Do not present a menu.

3. Filter installable results

• Treat a search item as installable only when it includes both packageName and name.
• If the JSON array is non-empty but no installable items exist, stop and tell the user that no installable skill could be derived from the search results. Do not present a menu.

4. Rank the installable results

• Rank the installable JSON items using only the fields in the response.
• Pick one primary skill and, only if credible, one fallback skill.

5. Report or ask the user to choose

• If the user asked to find, compare, recommend, or check whether a skill exists, report the primary skill and any credible fallback, briefly explain why they match, and ask whether the user wants to install one. Do not install yet.
• If the user explicitly asked to install, add, set up, or choose and install a matching skill, ask the user to choose between the available install actions.
• If the user later names or selects one of the reported installable skills, treat that as confirmation for that exact install action.

Interaction rules:

• If a credible fallback exists, offer these actions:
  1. Install the primary skill as primarySkillName (primaryPackageName)
  2. Install the fallback skill as fallbackSkillName (fallbackPackageName)
  3. Install both
  4. Install neither
• If no credible fallback exists, offer only these actions:
  1. Install the primary skill as primarySkillName (primaryPackageName)
  2. Install neither

• First, try to use the <!-- agentic:var skillSelectionPromptTool --> tool with one short multiple-choice question that includes only the actions that are actually available.
• If the <!-- agentic:var skillSelectionPromptTool --> tool is unavailable in the current mode or the tool call fails, fall back to plain text.
• If the <!-- agentic:var skillSelectionPromptTool --> UI returns None of the above, treat that as the same outcome as Install neither.

• Prefer asking the user with a short multiple-choice prompt in chat.
• If the host provides a short-question UI, you may use it. Otherwise ask in plain text.
• If the UI returns None of the above, treat that as the same outcome as Install neither.

• In either UI or text form, the label for every install action must include the concrete skillName (packageName) text.

Fallback text format:

1. Install <skillName> (<packageName>)
2. Install <skillName2> (<packageName2>)
3. Install both
4. Install neither

Reply with: 1, 2, 3, or 4

If no credible fallback exists, use:

1. Install <skillName> (<packageName>)
2. Install neither

Reply with: 1 or 2

If the user reply is not one of the explicit numbers that correspond to the currently available options, do not install anything. Ask the user to reply with one of the displayed numbers.

6. Install after confirmation

• After the user chooses an install action, install only the selected skill or skills with oo skills install.
• If the user chooses Install neither, declines installation, or the UI returns None of the above, do not install anything. Reply with exactly one short acknowledgement in the user's language that no skill was installed, then stop. Do not continue with extra result explanation, matched-result recap, ranking recap, package names, skill names, descriptions, or repeated summaries.
• Batch by package:
  • If both selected skills come from the same package, install them with one command and multiple -s flags.
  • If they come from different packages, run one install command per package. If Install both requires multiple oo skills install commands across different packages and a later command fails after an earlier one succeeded, report the partial completion accurately: say which package/skill installation(s) succeeded, say which command failed, say that no rollback was attempted, and then stop.

Install examples:

• Single skill install:

oo skills install "<packageName>" -s "<skillName>"

• Two skills from the same package:

oo skills install "<packageName>" -s "<skillName1>" -s "<skillName2>"

• Two skills from different packages:

oo skills install "<packageName1>" -s "<skillName1>"
oo skills install "<packageName2>" -s "<skillName2>"

11. Use each search result's name field as the -s value. Use skillDisplayName only for display text.
12. Never invent package names, skill names, versions, or extra metadata.
13. If oo skills search or oo skills install fails for any reason other than the explicit HTTP 402 billing case, stop immediately and report the exact command failure. Do not invent recommendations, do not claim an install succeeded, and do not continue silently.
14. If the command output shows HTTP 402 or OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT, stop immediately, tell the user their current account has insufficient credit or is overdue, and direct them to https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge before retrying.
15. If a command fails with a message saying the self-hosted connector only supports connector commands, or with JSON error code not_authenticated in self-hosted connector mode, an OOMOL account is required. Ask the user to run oo auth login, then stop.

Behavior Notes

• oo skills search --json returns at most 5 results because that is the CLI behavior for this command; do not try to enforce or emulate a different limit in the skill text.
• Use skillDisplayName when present, otherwise fall back to name.
• Prefer the closest semantic match for the primary skill.
• Break ranking ties deterministically by preferring the result whose description or display text more directly matches the same user request.
• Prefer non-duplicate results over near-duplicates.
• If the semantic match is still tied, prefer the result with clearer install identifiers (packageName plus name) and richer explanatory text.
• You may compare response text fields against the original user request, but you must not use external metadata or guessed fields to break ties.
• Treat a fallback as credible only when it is the next-best result that still plausibly solves the same user request, not merely a loosely related or duplicate-looking match.
• Do not install anything before the user explicitly chooses one of the four options.
