 The implementation should be profile-aware, but default to the standard OpenClaw profile path above.
 
+#### Special rule for `skills/hf/`
+
+The plugin `skills/` directory should include an `hf/` subfolder.

+However:
+- if installer is run **without** `--install-cli`, do **not** copy `skills/hf/` into the OpenClaw profile skills directory
+- if installer is run **with** `--install-cli`, then `skills/hf/` should be copied together with the CLI installation flow

+In other words:
+- normal plugin install copies regular plugin skills
+- `hf` skill content is gated behind `--install-cli`
