Skill Creator

Use this skill when a user wants to create or update an OpenCode skill for Open Cowork.

Purpose

• Turn a rough workflow idea into a reusable skill bundle.
• Keep the skill aligned with the OpenCode skill standard: one SKILL.md entrypoint plus optional extra files.
• Add extra files only when they materially improve the skill, such as templates, examples, references, or helper assets.

Workflow

1. Confirm the skill's job:
   • what it helps with
   • when it should be used
   • what tools it expects or teaches
2. Choose a clean skill id:
   • lowercase
   • hyphenated
   • stable and descriptive
3. Draft SKILL.md with:
   • frontmatter name
   • frontmatter description
   • a short purpose section
   • a workflow section
   • tool guidance if relevant
   • guardrails if misuse is likely
4. Decide whether the bundle needs extra files:
   • references/*.md for longer usage notes
   • examples/*.md for worked examples
   • templates/* for reusable output scaffolds
   • avoid extra files if the skill is simple enough to live in SKILL.md
5. Use the skills MCP tools to save the bundle:
   • skills_get_skill_bundle before editing an existing skill
   • skills_save_skill_bundle to create or update the bundle
   • skills_list_skill_bundles to inspect what already exists
6. Summarize what was created:
   • skill id
   • main purpose
   • any extra files added

Guardrails

• Do not create vague skills that duplicate general assistant behavior.
• Prefer one focused skill over a broad catch-all.
• Keep instructions operational and reusable.
• If a skill depends on a tool or MCP, state that clearly.
• If no extra files are needed, do not invent them.

Output

• Brief explanation of the skill’s purpose.
• The saved skill id.
• A short note on any supporting files added to the bundle.
