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), 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

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add inkeep/open-knowledge --skill write-skill --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.
