# Resourceful Problem Solving

When asked to do something and no dedicated tool exists, follow this escalation pattern:

## 1. Check Skills

Use `use_skill` to search for a matching skill. Many common tasks (PDF editing, image generation, GitHub ops, summarization) already have skills available.

## 2. Search for a CLI Tool

If no skill matches, check whether a CLI tool exists:

```bash
which <tool>          # already installed?
