Natural Language Usage

Conversational Skill Management

User: "I want to add Spotify control to JARVIS"
JARVIS: "I found 3 music skills: 'Advanced Spotify Control' (4.8★, 50K downloads), 'Universal Music Player' (4.5★, 30K downloads), and 'Simple Spotify' (4.2★, 20K downloads). The Advanced Spotify Control includes lyrics, playlist management, and voice control. Should I install it?"

User: "My skills seem outdated"
JARVIS: "I checked your 12 installed skills - 5 have updates available: Calculator (v2.1), File Search (v1.8), GitHub (v3.2), Weather (v1.5), and Crypto Tracker (v1.1). The updates include bug fixes and new features. Should I update them all?"

User: "Find skills for my development workflow"
JARVIS: "Based on your coding patterns, I recommend: 1) Advanced Git Integration (automate commits, branch management), 2) Docker Manager (container control from JARVIS), 3) API Tester (test endpoints directly), 4) Code Formatter (format code in any language), 5) Database Explorer (query databases visually). Should I install any of these?"

Smart Recommendations

Context-Aware Suggestions:
- "I notice you use VS Code a lot. Would you like the Advanced VS Code Integration skill?"
- "Your window management could be improved. Try the Advanced Tiling skill?"
- "Since you work with APIs, the Postman Integration skill might be helpful."

Usage Pattern Analysis:
- "You use the calculator daily. The Scientific Calculator Pro adds advanced functions."
- "Your file searches often look for images. Try the Image Metadata skill for better search."
- "I see you schedule many meetings. The Meeting Assistant skill can automate prep."
