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), authoring inside a plugin or…
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
# 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 being **recognized at the right moment** and **followed
faithfully**. Most of the craft is in two places: a `description` that triggers
reliably, and a body short and concrete enough that the agent actually does what
it says. Work the stages below in order, but jump to where the user already is.
## Stage 1 — Capture intent and classify the skill
**Gate — does this already exist? Check BEFORE you build.** First list managed
skills with `skills({})`, then read any likely match with `skills({ name })`;
these are the Project/Global skills OpenKnowledge already manages. Also search
the public marketplace with `skills({ query: "<2-4 trigger words>" })` before
drafting when the task sounds reusable beyond this project. Each marketplace row

How to install
mdr add inkeep/open-knowledge/open-knowledge-write-skill@sha256:7b7be652da963fefThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.adeb8b5, 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.
