What it does

Creative is an agent skill from Haohao-end/openagent. Use when the user wants a less default, more original solution for code, design, writing, naming, architecture, debugging, or strategy, especially when progress is stuck.

Its SKILL.md is about 230 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `manifest.yaml`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: What if OpenAI Deep Research and Dify were one platform? OpenAgent — harness architecture for rapidly building vertical AI agents, with deep reasoning loops, visual workflows… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a less default
  • More original solution for code
  • Especially when progress is stuck

Example prompts

  • “/creative”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Do not settle for the first clean answer.
  2. Internally generate multiple distinct directions.
  3. Compare them against the default approach.
  4. Keep the strongest idea simple enough to ship.
  5. Favor originality only when it still solves the task cleanly.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4013ab2. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Creative loads about 230 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 103 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
~230

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.

Creative

Use this skill when the obvious answer feels stale, generic, or blocked.

Working rules

  1. Do not settle for the first clean answer.
  2. Internally generate multiple distinct directions.
  3. Compare them against the default approach.
  4. Keep the strongest idea simple enough to ship.
  5. Favor originality only when it still solves the task cleanly.

Useful techniques

  • Invert assumptions
  • Remove one expected component
  • Borrow a pattern from a different domain
  • Constrain the solution harder
  • Try a failure-first sketch before refining

Output expectations

  • Return the strongest practical option
  • Call out what made it less default
  • Avoid extra complexity that only looks creative
