1. Is the full skill already installed?

   • Global: grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/user-research-cookiy/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
   • Project: grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/user-research-cookiy/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
   • No das: block → full skill installed, invoke and proceed
   • das: block present → go to step 2

2. Detect scope, then install:

   [ -e ~/.agents/skills/user-research-cookiy ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
   

   Global:

   npx skills add cookiy-ai/user-research-skill --skill user-research-cookiy -g -y
   

   Project:

   npx skills add cookiy-ai/user-research-skill --skill user-research-cookiy -y
