At a glance

Add a typed OpenSDL capability contract and propagate it through adapters, schemas, and tests.

  • Works in 6 steps: Run .agents/skills/add-capability/run.sh… → Define typed inputs, outputs, units,… → Implement the contract in at least one… → …
  • Changing an executable laboratory operation
  • SKILL.md covers Inputs, Procedure, Completion and Stop conditions
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder

What it does

Add Capability is an agent skill from fl-sean03/OpenSDL. Add a typed OpenSDL capability contract and propagate it through adapters, schemas, and tests. Use when introducing or changing an executable laboratory operation.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `run.sh`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: A modular Python foundation for reproducible computational and autonomous laboratories. Alpha; the reference profile is simulator-only. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing an executable laboratory operation

Example prompts

  • “/add-capability”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run .agents/skills/add-capability/run.sh CAPABILITY_ID "DISPLAY NAME" [DESTINATION].
  2. Define typed inputs, outputs, units, resources, side effects, risk class, timeout, retries, and
  3. Implement the contract in at least one simulator-capable adapter.
  4. Add valid, invalid, workflow, and conformance cases.
  5. Regenerate public schemas and inspect propagation impact.
  6. Run focused tests and repository validation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 43f4988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Add Capability loads about 286 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 118 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~286

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Add a typed OpenSDL capability contract and propagate it through adapters, schemas, and tests. Use when introducing or changing an executable laboratory operation.

Add a capability

Inputs

  • namespaced capability identifier
  • display name
  • destination directory, default capabilities

Procedure

  1. Run .agents/skills/add-capability/run.sh CAPABILITY_ID "DISPLAY NAME" [DESTINATION].
  2. Define typed inputs, outputs, units, resources, side effects, risk class, timeout, retries, and simulator status.
  3. Implement the contract in at least one simulator-capable adapter.
  4. Add valid, invalid, workflow, and conformance cases.
  5. Regenerate public schemas and inspect propagation impact.
  6. Run focused tests and repository validation.

Completion

The contract is namespaced, typed, implemented, exported where public, and covered through simulation and conformance tests.

Stop conditions

Stop if the operation lacks a semantic boundary, unit contract, risk class, or failure model. Move runtime lifecycle changes into the core or runtime design before adding the capability.
