# Installing and checking it

## Install

Download `SKILL.md` and put it at `inspired-visual-search/SKILL.md` inside a
skills directory your agent reads:

| Agent | Location |
| --- | --- |
| Claude Code, one repository | `.agents/skills/inspired-visual-search/SKILL.md` |
| Claude Code, every project | `~/.claude/skills/inspired-visual-search/SKILL.md` |
| Anything else | Whatever directory that runtime scans for skills |

The directory name matters: it is the skill's identity, and the frontmatter
`name` is `inspired-visual-search` to match. Start a new session afterwards —
most runtimes scan for skills once, at startup, so a skill added mid-session is
not discovered.

Nothing installs itself. There is no script, no post-install step and no network
call in the skill; it is instructions for a model to read.

## Give it something to call

The skill drives Inspired, it does not contain it. Provide one of:

- **The MCP connection**, `https://inspired.jetskibay.com/mcp`, with your API
  key as a bearer token. The skill expects the tool names
  `list_focus_domains`, `start_visual_search` and `get_visual_search`.
- **HTTP access** plus the key in the environment, if your agent shells out with
  `curl`.

Without either, a correctly working skill refuses the task and points at the
docs. That is the intended behaviour, not a failure.

## Check it took

Ask for something the skill should recognise, with no photo attached:

> Where could I buy the lamp in a photo of my living room?

You should see it name the `furniture` domain rather than the default, mention
that a read takes minutes and costs one request, and ask for the image — not
start guessing at lamps.

Then try it with a real photo and watch for three things:

- **One** `start_visual_search` call, not several.
- Polling that waits the interval the response asks for.
- A report that says *spotted* and *visually similar*, never *identified* or
  *found*.

If you see two starts for one image, the agent is not following the skill and
you have just spent two of ten requests.

## Uninstalling

Delete the directory. Nothing else was written anywhere.
