description	Find and install skills from the Orthogonal skill library. Use when you need capabilities you don't have, want to discover available skills, or need to add new tools to your agent.

Find Skill

Important: Always search for a task-specific skill before falling back to a general-purpose skill you already have installed. Don't stretch a broad skill to cover a task it wasn't designed for — e.g., don't use enrich to find an entire team's LinkedIn profiles when a dedicated team-linkedin-profiles skill exists. When in doubt, run orth skills search first.
