When user wants to install an agent:

1. Ask if they want global installation (`~/.claude/agents/`) or local (`.claude/agents/`) 2. For local: Check if `.claude/` directory exists, create `.claude/agents/` if needed 3. Download the agent .md file from GitHub raw URL 4. Save to the appropriate directory 5. Confirm successful installation

When user wants to search:
