Integration with Other Skills

When another Skill indicates "XX needs to be installed," automatically use winget to install:

用户: "帮我用 Everything 搜索文件"
→ 检测 Everything 未安装
→ 提示: "Everything 未安装，需要安装吗？"
→ 用户确认
→ winget install voidtools.Everything --silent
→ 安装完成，继续执行搜索

• Show progress during installation (in silent mode, show "Installing...")
• Confirm the result after installation is complete
• Format list output as a table

Security Rules

• HITL confirmation is required before installation: Show information about the application to be installed
• HITL confirmation is required before uninstallation
• Always use --silent and --accept-package-agreements to avoid pop-up blocking
• Do not automatically execute upgrade --all: Confirm one by one
• Prefer the official winget source and avoid untrusted sources
