| description | Query live Open Software os-platform production data through the platform API. Use when an agent needs current Issues/Bounties, Orgs, Projects, Submissions, Comments, Activity, Contributors, or API status instead of inspecting repo files, fixtures, screenshots, or stale docs. |
os-platform
Use this skill when the user asks about current Open Software / os-platform state: Issues, Bounties, Projects, Orgs, Submissions, Comments, Activity, Contributors, or whether API endpoints are real-backed. Prefer the bundled script over reading code, seed data, frontend fixtures, or docs when the question is about production data.
Quick Start
Run commands from this skill directory:
python3 scripts/os_platform.py status
python3 scripts/os_platform.py issues list open-software --q "wallet" --limit 10
python3 scripts/os_platform.py issues search open-software "wallet bug" --status todo
python3 scripts/os_platform.py issues show open-software 123
python3 scripts/os_platform.py issues take open-software 123 --yes
Configuration:
- The default API base URL is
https://app.opensoftware.co/api.
OS_PLATFORM_API_BASE_URL can override the default unless --base-url is passed.OS_PLATFORM_API_KEY is required unless --api-key is passed. The script sends it as Authorization: Bearer ....- Optional project defaults can be stored in
os-platform.json in the workspace root or a parent directory. Supported fields are org and limit; both are optional.
- Never ask the user to paste an API key into chat. Ask them to set the environment variable in their shell or agent runtime.
- The installer does not prompt for or write environment values. If the API key is missing, tell the user to set it first.
Routing Rules
The script is deterministic. Most commands are read-only; issues take is the only controlled write command and moves a todo Issue to in_progress after confirmation or --yes. If the Issue has no assignee, issues take first assigns it to the authenticated API user. Do not rely on the script to decide user intent. Route the request before calling it.
Use the user prompt first, then os-platform.json, then ask the user for missing required parameters. Do not guess an org, issue number, project, or contributor when the prompt and config do not provide one.
- Org state or details: use
org get <org>.
- Project lists or details: use
projects list <org> or project get <org> <project>.
- Issue lists, filters, or work queues: use
issues list <org> with the narrowest filters.
- Issue searches by rough user phrasing: use
issues search <org> "<query>" with narrow filters when useful.
- A specific Issue/Bounty by number: use
issues show <org> <number>.
- Taking a todo Issue: after the user confirms they want to work on it, use
issues take <org> <number>; use --yes only when confirmation already happened in chat or another trusted workflow.
- Issue submissions, activity, or comments: use the scoped command with
<org> and <issue-number>.
- Contributors: use
contributors list <org> or contributors show <org> <user-handle>.
If the user asks for issues and omits org, read os-platform.json; if it has org, use it. If no org is available, ask the user which org to use before running the script.
When the user asks for issues to work on, prioritize todo issues assigned to the user or with no assignee before other todo issues. If the user identity is unclear, prefer unassigned todo issues and ask which user handle to use for assigned work.
Specific Issue Triage
When the user asks about a specific issue, fetch the live issue first, then inspect the current local codebase before suggesting implementation work.
- Use
issues show <org> <number> to get the live issue title, body, labels, project, and status.
- Search the local codebase for terms from the issue title/body, related route names, component names, API paths, labels, and project handles.
- Compare the issue request with the current implementation, tests, and nearby patterns before recommending work.
- Ground suggestions in both the issue data and code references; say when the codebase does not provide enough evidence.
- If the issue is actionable, suggest a concise implementation path and likely test or verification commands. If it is not actionable, explain what information is missing.
Available Script
scripts/os_platform.py is primarily a read-only API helper, with one controlled write command for taking an Issue. It uses only Python standard library modules.
Core commands:
python3 scripts/os_platform.py status
python3 scripts/os_platform.py org get <org>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py projects list <org>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py project get <org> <project>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py issues list <org>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py issues search <org> "<query>"
python3 scripts/os_platform.py issues show <org> <number>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py issues take <org> <number>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py submissions list <org> <issue-number>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py activity list <org> <issue-number>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py comments list issue <org> <issue-number>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py contributors list <org>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py contributors show <org> <user-handle>
python3 scripts/os_platform.py raw GET /v1/...
Common flags:
--limit N caps list output.--json prints the unwrapped data payload.--full prints the full unwrapped data without compact summarization.--base-url URL overrides OS_PLATFORM_API_BASE_URL and the default base URL.
issues take:
- Fetches the Issue first.
- Refuses to update unless the current status is
todo.
- Assigns the Issue to the authenticated API user first when the Issue has no assignee.
- Prompts before moving the Issue to
in_progress, unless --yes is passed.
scripts/install.sh installs this skill into a local agent skills directory. It defaults to ~/.codex/skills, supports --dest, --source, --repo, --ref, --path, and --force, and never stores credentials.
Workflow
- Decide whether the question is about current production state. If yes, use this skill.
- If the target route is unclear, read
references/api-map.md.
- Run the narrowest script command that answers the question.
- Use default compact output for summaries. Use
--json or --full only when exact fields matter.
- Cite the live API result in your answer, and mention if a route appears fixture-backed or unreachable.
Language Rules
- User-facing product language says Issue.
- Internal tables/code may say Bounty.
- The product is Open Software and the platform/repo is os-platform.
- If the API path says
bounties, explain results to users as Issues unless discussing internal implementation.
Safety
- The bundled API script is read-only except for
issues take. Do not add more mutation commands unless the user explicitly asks for a new version of the skill.
- Do not print or persist
OS_PLATFORM_API_KEY.
- Do not infer private data from missing public data. A 404 on private/member-only resources can mean hidden, missing, or inaccessible.
- Treat production data as current at request time, not as a durable local fact.
