create-skill SKILL.md skillA
create-skill from openbkn-ai/bkn-sdk is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Guides authoring of an OpenBKN Skill package (SKILL.md + references) that declares which knowledge-network capabilities it uses — metrics, functions, actions, MCP tools — so an agent reading it knows what to call, how, and which steps need user confirmation. Also covers writing a sandbox function with bkn-osdk and registering it as a tool. Use when creating a skill, writing SKILL.md for the execution factory, declaring capability dependencies, or turning Python code into a function tool. When…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Create Skill
Author a Skill package the execution factory can register and an agent can follow. No platform
code is involved: the agent already has `get_skill_content`, `search_capabilities`,
`get_kn_detail`, `query_metric`, `execute_tool` and `execute_action`; the Skill's job is to say
**which** capabilities to use and **how**.
## Works with the openbkn skill
**create-skill** writes the files; the **openbkn** skill runs `openbkn skill register`,
`openbkn skill set-status`, `openbkn sandbox run`, `openbkn function create` once they exist.
[create-bkn](../create-bkn/SKILL.md) models the network itself — a Skill assumes the network,
its metrics and its actions already exist.
## Package layout
```
{skill_dir}/
├── SKILL.md # required; frontmatter name + description (+ metadata.uses)
└── references/ # optional: report format, business rules, IO contract
└── report-spec.md
```
The execution factory parses only frontmatter `name`, `description` and `metadata` (free-form,
stored as-is). The body is prose the agent reads — the "capability dependencies" table below is
a convention, not a schema.
## Workflow
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add openbkn-ai/bkn-sdk/create-skill@sha256:0ffe81cfac7fcbdcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.d7f989a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
