What it does

Openbot Skill Creator is an agent skill from nightly-labs/openbot. Create or revise a reusable local OpenBot skill when the user asks to save a workflow as a skill. Use the local skill tools to register it. Do not use for ordinary one-off tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: A local-first desktop workspace for persistent AI teammates. Run Codex, Claude, and Grok with dedicated workspaces, task queues, file sharing, browser control, and agent-to-agent…

Workflow steps

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

  1. Call list_local_skills to check for an existing skill. For a revision, call read_local_skill and keep its ID, name, and version (the…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c7d6ee9. 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

Openbot Skill Creator loads about 655 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 359 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~655

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 359 words (~655 tokens).

“Clarify the skill's purpose and when it should apply from the user's request. Ask only for missing information that changes the result. Keep the instructions focused on knowledge or decisions the agent would otherwise miss.”
