  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 add-new-opc-skill 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.

Add New OPC Skill

Use this skill when adding a new skill to the OPC Skills project. Follow every step below to ensure the skill meets all publishing requirements.

Pre-flight

Before starting, confirm:

  • You are on a feature branch: feature/skill/<skill-name> (branched from develop)
  • The skill name is kebab-case (e.g., my-new-skill)

Checklist

1. Skill Directory Structure

Create the skill directory with required files:

skills/<skill-name>/
├── SKILL.md              (required) Main skill documentation
├── scripts/              (if skill has scripts)
│   └── *.py / *.sh
├── examples/             (recommended) Usage examples
│   └── *.md
└── references/           (optional) API docs, templates
    └── *.md

SKILL.md must include YAML frontmatter:

---
name: <skill-name>
description: Clear description. Include trigger keywords and "Use when..." contexts.
---

Use template/SKILL.md as a starting point:

cp -r template skills/<skill-name>

2. Skill Logo

Generate a pixel-art style SVG logo matching existing skill logos:

# Use the logo-creator skill
python3 skills/nanobanana/scripts/batch_generate.py \
  "Pixel art <subject> logo, 8-bit retro style, black pixels on white background, minimalist icon, clean crisp edges, no text, centered" \
  -n 20 --ratio 1:1 \
  -d .skill-archive/logo-creator/<date>-<skill-name> \
  -p logo

# Open preview to pick a logo
cp skills/logo-creator/templates/preview.html .skill-archive/logo-creator/<date>-<skill-name>/
open .skill-archive/logo-creator/<date>-<skill-name>/preview.html

# After picking (e.g., #5):
python3 skills/logo-creator/scripts/crop_logo.py <input>.png <output>-cropped.png
python3 skills/logo-creator/scripts/vectorize.py <output>-cropped.png skill-logos/<skill-name>.svg

Verify: skill-logos/<skill-name>.svg exists and matches the pixel-art style of other logos.
