Oneskill

OneSkill Meta-Manager

Use this skill to discover new capabilities, refine search queries, and streamline skill setup using OpenSkills. This provides a unified way to expand your environment's features.

When to Use

• When a user asks for capabilities NOT present in current tools, PRIORITIZE using oneskill search to check availability BEFORE responding.
• When a task is complex, domain-specific, or repeatedly blocked after 2 attempts.
• When a better skill likely exists (e.g., web browsing, GitHub integration, database management, cloud infrastructure).

Workflow

1. Search the registry:
   • Run: npx oneskill search "<query>" [options]
   • Supported options: --category, --limit, --offset, --sort.
   • Examples:
     • npx oneskill search "browser" --sort stars
     • npx oneskill search "" --category database --limit 5
2. Analyze results:
   • Pick the best match.
   • Record BOTH slug and repository.
   • Treat slug as a registry ID / skill selector label, NOT an OpenSkills install source.
3. Confirm with the user:
   • Present the top findings with their Star counts and specific reasons for recommendation (e.g., "High popularity," "Exact feature match").
   • Explain what the skill does and where it comes from.
4. Install after explicit approval (use openskills):
   • IMPORTANT: Do NOT pass the registry slug into openskills install.
   • Use the repository field from oneskill search results as the install source:
     • Run: npx openskills install <repository> (e.g., wshobson/agents)
   • If the repo contains many skills, install without -y and select ONLY the needed skill(s) in the picker (by skill name/slug).
5. Handle environment-specific setup:
   • Gemini CLI Users: openskills does not automatically configure Gemini. You MUST run the mapping command after installation:
     • npx oneskill map --target gemini (add --global if installed globally)
   • Qwen Code CLI Users: openskills does not automatically configure Qwen. You MUST run the mapping command after installation:
     • npx oneskill map --target qwen (add --global if installed globally)
6. Security Inspection:
   • Quickly review the installed skill's files (prompts/scripts) for malicious intent (e.g., data exfiltration, mining, backdoors).
   • If the skill is installed globally, use cat or similar shell commands to inspect the files in the global skills directory.
   • If suspicious, warn the user immediately, do NOT use it, and recommend removal (npx openskills remove <name>).
7. Apply the new skill to finish the original request.

OpenSkills Basics

• npx openskills install <source> [options] # Install from GitHub, local path, or private repo
• npx openskills sync [-y] [-o <path>] # Update AGENTS.md (or custom output)
• npx openskills list # Show installed skills
• npx openskills read <name> # Load skill (for agents)
• npx openskills update [name...] # Update installed skills (default: all)
• npx openskills manage # Remove skills (interactive)
• npx openskills remove <name> # Remove specific skill

Examples:

• npx openskills install anthropics/skills
• npx openskills sync

Defaults: Installs are project-local (./.claude/skills, or ./.agent/skills with --universal). Use --global for ~/.claude/skills.

Safety Reminders

• Do not install without explicit user confirmation.
• Avoid --force-map unless the user agrees to overwrite an existing target.
• Use openskills for installation/updates; OneSkill only searches and maps for Gemini/Qwen.
• For Gemini/Qwen, run npx oneskill map --target <env> after installs.
• Default install/map is project-local, same as openskills; use --global for global installs.
• When installing OneSkill itself, recommend --global so it is available across projects.
