About this skill
What does the create-agent skill do?

Creates and configures agent.yaml files, writes SOUL.md personality definitions, and sets up agent directory structures with skills, tools, and knowledge. Use when the user wants to configure an agent, create agent.yaml, write SOUL.md, set up agent directory structure, or customize agent settings.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add open-gitagent/opengap --skill create-agent --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From open-gitagent/opengap, a repository with 2,909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
