open-knowledge-pack-software-lifecycle-frame-a-proposal
Frame a new design proposal (RFC-shape) under proposals/ — problem before solution, named beneficiary and observable change, real alternatives, honest drawbacks, and a live open-questions backlog. Read when asked to frame a proposal, write an RFC, propose a design, pitch a change, draft a PRD-style design doc, or open a design proposal for review. Do NOT read to record a decision after it is accepted (use record-a-decision), to write an implementation spec (use write-a-spec), to write a postmortem (use write-a-postmortem), or to review or critique an existing design (use review-a-design).

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Frame a proposal — turn a problem into a reviewable RFC The platform `open-knowledge` skill still governs every markdown operation here (reads via `exec`/`search`, writes via `write`/`edit`, links as plain relative markdown, never native Read/Edit/Grep/`cat` on in-scope files). This skill layers proposal-authoring craft on top: it decides *what a good proposal contains and in what order you earn
What does the open-knowledge-pack-software-lifecycle-frame-a-proposal skill do?
Frame a new design proposal (RFC-shape) under proposals/ — problem before solution, named beneficiary and observable change, real alternatives, honest drawbacks, and a live open-questions backlog. Read when asked to frame a proposal, write an RFC, propose a design, pitch a change, draft a PRD-style design doc, or open a design proposal for review.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add inkeep/open-knowledge --skill frame-a-proposal --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 inkeep/open-knowledge, a repository with 3,279 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.
