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
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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)
- 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>).
- 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.
