Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/boshu2/agentops --skill oss-docs
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads oss-docs automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

OSS Documentation Skill

Scaffold and audit documentation for open source projects.

Overview

This skill helps prepare repositories for open source release by:

  1. Auditing existing documentation completeness
  2. Scaffolding missing standard files
  3. Generating content tailored to project type

Commands

CommandAction
auditCheck which OSS docs exist/missing
scaffoldCreate all missing standard files
scaffold [file]Create specific file
updateRefresh existing docs with latest patterns
validateCheck docs follow best practices

Phase 0: Project Detection

# Determine project type and language
PROJECT_NAME=$(basename $(pwd))
LANGUAGES=()

[[ -f go.mod ]] && LANGUAGES+=("go")
[[ -f pyproject.toml ]] || [[ -f setup.py ]] && LANGUAGES+=("python")
[[ -f package.json ]] && LANGUAGES+=("javascript")
[[ -f Cargo.toml ]] && LANGUAGES+=("rust")

# Detect project category
if [[ -f Dockerfile ]] && [[ -d cmd ]]; then
    PROJECT_TYPE="cli"
elif [[ -d config/crd ]]; then
    PROJECT_TYPE="operator"
elif [[ -f Chart.yaml ]]; then
    PROJECT_TYPE="helm"
else
    PROJECT_TYPE="library"

AGENTS.md Pattern

# Agent Instructions

This project uses **<tool>** for <purpose>. Run `<onboard-cmd>` to get started.

## Quick Reference

```bash
<cmd1>              # Do thing 1
<cmd2>              # Do thing 2

Landing the Plane (Session Completion)

MANDATORY WORKFLOW:

  1. Run quality gates - Tests, linters, builds
  2. Commit changes - Meaningful commit message
  3. PUSH TO REMOTE - This is MANDATORY
  4. Verify - All changes committed AND pushed

---

## Style Guidelines

1. **Be direct** - Get to the point quickly
2. **Be friendly** - Welcome contributions
3. **Be concise** - Avoid boilerplate
4. **Use tables** - For commands, options, features
5. **Show examples** - Code blocks over prose
6. **Link liberally** - Cross-reference related docs

---

## Skill Boundaries

**DO:**
- Audit existing documentation
- Generate standard OSS files
- Validate documentation quality

**DON'T:**
- Overwrite existing content without confirmation
- Generate code documentation (use `$doc`)
- Create CI/CD files (out of scope — configure CI/CD separately)

## Examples

### OSS Readiness Audit

**User says:** "Audit this repo for open-source documentation readiness."

**What happens:**
1. Evaluate presence/quality of core OSS docs.
2. Identify missing or weak sections.
3. Output prioritized documentation actions.

### Scaffold Missing Docs

**User says:** "Generate missing OSS docs for this project."

**What happens:**
1. Detect project type and documentation gaps.
2. Scaffold standard files with project-aware content.
3. Produce a checklist for final review and landing.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---------|-------|----------|
| Generated docs feel generic | Project signals too sparse | Add concrete repo context (commands, architecture, workflows) |
| Existing docs conflict | Legacy text diverges from current behavior | Reconcile with current code/process and mark obsolete sections |
| Contributor path unclear | Missing setup/testing guidance | Add explicit quickstart and validation commands |
| Open-source handoff incomplete | Session-end workflow not reflected | Add landing-the-plane and release hygiene steps |
