Set up OpenWork for a team

OpenWork Cloud is the team control plane: members, shared models (AI Gateway), shared skills and plugins, and the MCP Gateway. The Free plan covers up to 5 users; the Team plan is $10 per user per month. Pricing: https://openworklabs.com/pricing

The human creates the account. Don't invent passwords or create accounts for the user without asking.

Recommended: dashboard (about 15 minutes)

1. Sign up: https://app.openworklabs.com?mode=sign-up. Right after sign-up, the user names their team; that creates the organization. No credit card.
2. Invite teammates: Members > Add member, enter an email, pick a role (usually Member), Send invite. Group people under Teams > Create Team.
3. Share models: AI Gateway > AI Providers > Add provider, pick a provider, paste the org key, and choose who can use it. Members never handle keys.
4. Share a skill: create a Collection (Collections > New collection), then Plugin Directory > Create plugin > + Skill. Write a name, a "use when..." description, and markdown instructions. Share it to the Collection and grant the Collection to a team.
5. Everyone installs the desktop app (skill: https://openworklabs.com/.well-known/agent-skills/install-openwork/SKILL.md) and clicks Joining a team? Sign in. Shared skills appear under Settings > Library.

Headless: let the agent set it up

When the user wants the agent to do the setup from a terminal, follow https://openworklabs.com/start.md. It installs the openwork-bootstrap CLI (needs stable Node.js 24.x, version 24.22.1 or newer within that major; the installer fetches a private checksum-verified Node.js 24.22.1 when needed; it is not on npm) and creates a provisional workspace with a first skill. The human claims ownership later in the browser, so no password is created by the agent.
