What it does

Zip Export Deliverable is an agent skill from HKUDS/OpenSpace. Ensures codebase deliverables are properly exported as ZIP archives through a dedicated finalization step

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

The repository describes itself as: "OpenSpace: The Skill Management Layer for AI Agents" -- https://open-space.cloud/. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “Use the zip-export-deliverable skill to ensure codebase deliverables are properly exported as ZIP archives through a dedicated finalization step”
  • “/zip-export-deliverable”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify Project Structure
  2. Create Dedicated Final Iteration
  3. Execute ZIP Command
  4. Verify ZIP Creation
  5. Report Completion

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3827781. 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 (its code samples are bash and python).

    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

Zip Export Deliverable loads about 768 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~768

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.

Ensures codebase deliverables are properly exported as ZIP archives through a dedicated finalization step

ZIP Export Deliverable Finalization

Purpose

When a task requires delivering a codebase or project directory as a ZIP archive, this skill ensures the deliverable is actually created through an explicit finalization step, rather than assuming directory creation equals completion.

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

  • The task deliverable is a codebase, project, or directory structure
  • The deliverable must be exported or packaged as a ZIP file
  • You have already created the project files and directory structure

Common Pitfall

Do NOT assume that creating the project directory and files means the deliverable is complete. The ZIP archive itself must be explicitly created as a final step.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Verify Project Structure

Before creating the ZIP, confirm all required files and directories exist:

bash
ls -la ./project/
# or
find ./project -type f | head -20
Step 2: Create Dedicated Final Iteration

Add a final step/iteration specifically for ZIP creation. This should be a distinct action, not combined with other tasks.

Step 3: Execute ZIP Command

Run the zip command with recursive flag:

bash
zip -r project.zip ./project

Or with a custom name:

bash
zip -r <deliverable-name>.zip ./<project-directory>
Step 4: Verify ZIP Creation

Confirm the ZIP file was created successfully:

bash
ls -lh project.zip
# Should show file size > 0
unzip -l project.zip | head -20
# Should list contents
Step 5: Report Completion

Explicitly confirm the ZIP deliverable has been created in your final response to the user.

Code Example

python
import subprocess
import os

def finalize_deliverable(project_dir="project", zip_name="project.zip"):
    """Create ZIP archive of project deliverable."""
    
    # Step 1: Verify project exists
    if not os.path.exists(project_dir):
        raise FileNotFoundError(f"Project directory {project_dir} not found")
    
    # Step 2: Create ZIP
    result = subprocess.run(
        ["zip", "-r", zip_name, f"./{project_dir}"],
        capture_output=True,
        text=True
    )
    
    if result.returncode != 0:
        raise RuntimeError(f"ZIP creation failed: {result.stderr}")
    
    # Step 3: Verify
    zip_size = os.path.getsize(zip_name)
    print(f"Created {zip_name} ({zip_size} bytes)")
    
    return zip_name

Checklist

  • All project files are created in the expected directory
  • A dedicated step is allocated for ZIP creation
  • zip -r <name>.zip ./<directory> command is executed
  • ZIP file existence and size are verified
  • Deliverable completion is explicitly confirmed to the user
  • File creation should always include verification steps
  • Deliverables should be explicitly validated before marking tasks complete
  • Archive/export operations need their own iteration, not implicit completion
