Detailed Introduction

OpenSkills is a developer-oriented universal skills loader for discovering, installing, and running “skills” in agent or script environments. Distributed as an npm package, it provides a CLI and lightweight interfaces to manage small tooling modules uniformly, reducing integration overhead when composing capabilities.

Main Features

  • Unified packaging and publishing workflow for skills via npm.
  • A minimal CLI to list, install, uninstall and execute skills.
  • Support for running skills as independent modules, making it easy to integrate locally or in CI pipelines.

Use Cases

  • Package standalone tools or scripts as skills for on-demand invocation by agents or automation flows.
  • Rapidly experiment with new skills in local development or distribute and update skill collections in CI.
  • Foster a small plugin ecosystem where the community contributes reusable utility modules.

Technical Features

  • Implemented in TypeScript with an emphasis on light weight and composability.
  • Uses the npm ecosystem for distribution and versioning, compatible with existing build tools.
  • Designed to be decoupled from specific agent runtimes or script hosts, focusing on discovery and execution contracts for skills.
