observal-registry
Submit, browse, install, edit, archive, restore, transfer, and version MCPs, skills, hooks, prompts, and sandboxes in the Observal registry, and get components recommended for the current user. Use when the user wants to submit a component, install one, edit a draft, publish a new version, browse the component library, or asks what they should install or are missing.
npx skills add Observal/Observal --skill observal-registry --agent claude-code
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.
# Observal Registry: Component CRUD ## Critical Rules 1. **EXECUTE commands**: run them in your shell. Set timeout to 60 seconds. 2. **Pass `--output json`** on list/show commands. 3. **Pass `--yes`** on destructive lifecycle commands (`archive`, `unarchive`) and MCP JSON submit when defaults are acceptable. 4. **When in doubt about a flag, run `<command> --help` first.** 5. **`--from-file` does NOT exist on `mcp submit`**: that flag is on `mcp edit`. --- ## Procedure: Browse Registry Use natural-language keywords with `--search`; do not require exact whole-query matches. ```bash observal registry mcp list --category developer-tools --output json observal registry mcp list --namespace platform-tools --output json observal registry skill list --namespace platform-tools --output json observal registry skill list --team platform-tools --search 'frontend design' --output json observal registry skill list --task-type code-review --harness claude-code --output json observal registry hook list --event UserPromptSubmit --output json observal registry prompt list --category coding --output json observal registry sandbox list --runtime docker --output json observal registry mcp my --output j

What does the observal-registry skill do?
Submit, browse, install, edit, archive, restore, transfer, and version MCPs, skills, hooks, prompts, and sandboxes in the Observal registry, and get components recommended for the current user. Use when the user wants to submit a component, install one, edit a draft, publish a new version, browse the component library, or asks what they should install or are missing.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Observal/Observal --skill observal-registry --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 Observal/Observal, a repository with 2,254 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.
