What it does
Use when the user wants to create, author, write, or design a new Agent Skill (a SKILL.md), for OpenKnowledge or for their editors, including requests like 'help me write a skill', 'make a skill that…', 'turn this workflow into a skill', or improving an existing skill's triggering and discipline. Also use when capturing reusable agent guidance that should live as an installable skill rather than a one-off prompt. Covers choosing scope (project vs global), authoring inside a plugin or skills-distribution repo (write in the repo's own layout, never install), the SKILL.md frontmatter contract, progressive-disclosure structure, evaluating the skill, and installing it into the user's editors.
Writing an OpenKnowledge skill
You are helping the user author an Agent Skill, a SKILL.md file (plus
optional references/ and scripts/) that teaches an AI agent how to do a
recurring task. In OpenKnowledge a skill is a first-class, versioned,
installable artifact: you author it with the write / edit skill verbs, then
install it into the user's editors.
Skills earn their keep by being recognized at the right moment and followed
faithfully. Most of the craft is in two places: a description that triggers
reliably, and a body short and concrete enough that the agent actually does what
it says. Work the stages below in order, but jump to where the user already is.
