+### AdaL
+
+AdaL users have two paths to get Firecrawl skills:
+
+1. **Native bootstrap** (this CLI):
+   ```bash
+   npx -y firecrawl-cli@latest init --agent adal
+   ```
+   Installs skills to `~/.adal/skills/` as symlinks. No Firecrawl API key is needed for installation.
+
+   **Collision safety:** If a skill name already exists as a user-owned directory or file under `~/.adal/skills/`, it is skipped (never overwritten). Only stale symlinks are replaced.
+
+2. **AdaL marketplace** (inside an AdaL session):
+   ```
+   /plugin marketplace add firecrawl/cli
+   /plugin install firecrawl@firecrawl
+   ```
+   Installs via AdaL's plugin system to `~/.adal/plugin-cache/`. The two paths use different install locations and precedence; choose based on your workflow.
