Skills

A skill is the atomic unit of design capability in Open Design — one folder, one SKILL.md, optional assets/ and references/. The daemon scans this directory at startup; drop a folder in, restart, and the picker shows it.

Adding a new skill

→ docs/skills-contributing.md — the contributor guide. Quick start, anatomy, local dev loop, merge bar, PR template, and common rejection patterns.

→ docs/skills-protocol.md — the protocol spec. Frontmatter grammar, discovery rules, mode semantics.

The fastest path is to copy the existing skill closest to your idea, edit SKILL.md and example.html, and read the contributor guide before opening the PR. We're picky about skills because they're the user-facing surface — the merge bar is real and the contributor guide makes it explicit.

Skills that already ship

The mode and featured flags in each skill's SKILL.md decide where it shows up in the picker. The list below is a quick orientation; for a curated set of "imitate this if you're starting from scratch" skills, see the References section in docs/skills-contributing.md.
