Open Knowledge Skills

Agent Skills published by Open Knowledge. Each skill teaches an agent one repeatable task, and every one of them is plain markdown you can read before you install it.

skills/ is generated. The skills there are projected from the Open Knowledge source tree, so each directory name matches its SKILL.md frontmatter name.

Install

Add this repository as a Claude Code plugin marketplace, then install what you want:

/plugin marketplace add inkeep/open-knowledge-skills
/plugin install open-knowledge@open-knowledge-skills

open-knowledge is the platform skill: it teaches an agent to read, search, link, and write markdown through Open Knowledge's MCP server. The rest are optional packs. Run /plugin marketplace list to see everything this repository publishes.

You can also copy any skill straight into your agent's skills folder (.claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/, .codex/skills/, or the vendor-neutral .agents/skills/). Open Knowledge can install and update them for you, and keeps their version history.

Writing your own

template/SKILL.md.example is a starting point. The field that matters most is description: it is a routing rule, not a title, and it is what both skills.sh and the host agent match on to decide whether to load the skill at all.

Read CONTRIBUTING.md before opening a PR.
