At a glance

Use the openma platform to build, deploy, and manage AI agents.

  • Users want to create agents
  • SKILL.md covers Setup, Core Workflow, Resources and Model Cards, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls npx; needs OMA_API_KEY
  • Manage environments

What it does

Openma is an agent skill from openma-ai/open-managed-agents. Use the openma platform to build, deploy, and manage AI agents. Trigger when users want to create agents, start sessions, manage environments, configure model cards, handle vaults/credentials, install skills, connect MCP servers, or interact with the openma HTTP API. Also trigger when users mention "oma", "openma", "managed agents", or ask how to deploy/run/manage an agent on openma.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `integrations-github.md`, `integrations-linear.md` and `integrations-slack.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering REST APIs, Model hubs and datasets and Building AI agents. It works with Model Context Protocol, OpenAI, Cloudflare and Cloudflare Durable Objects. The repository describes itself as: Open Managed Agents — an open-source alternative to Claude Managed Agents and OpenAI Agents API. Deploy with Node.js or Docker, run on Cloudflare, or use hosted OpenMA. Choose… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Users want to create agents
  • Manage environments
  • Configure model cards
  • Handle vaults/credentials

Example prompts

  • “openma”
  • “managed agents”
  • “/openma”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in OMA_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98db444. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OMA_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Openma loads about 854 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 288 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~854

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.

openma

openma is an open-source platform for building, deploying, and managing AI agents. You define an agent (model + system prompt + tools), the platform handles sandboxed execution, credential management, and session state.

Setup

bash
npx open-managed-agents            # or: npm i -g open-managed-agents
export OMA_BASE_URL=https://your-instance.workers.dev
export OMA_API_KEY=oma_xxxxxx      # generate at Console → API Keys

Run oma --help for all commands.

Core Workflow

bash
oma agents create "my-agent" --model claude-sonnet-4-6
oma envs list                      # reuse existing, or:
oma envs create default
oma sessions create --agent <agent-id> --env <env-id>
oma sessions message <session-id> "Your task here"

Model Cards

bash
oma models create --name "anthropic" --provider ant --model-id claude-sonnet-4-6 --api-key sk-ant-xxx

Providers: ant, oai, ant-compatible, oai-compatible.

MCP Server Connections

bash
oma vaults create "my-vault"
oma connect github --vault <vault-id>

Known servers: airtable, amplitude, apollo, asana, atlassian, clickup, github, intercom, linear, notion, sentry, slack.

HTTP API Reference

Run oma api for the full endpoint reference, or oma api <resource> for a specific resource (agents, sessions, environments, models, vaults, oauth, skills, files, memory, keys, evals, clawhub).

All /v1/* endpoints require x-api-key header. Use SSE streaming via GET /v1/sessions/:id/stream for real-time agent responses.

Tips

  • Check oma agents list / oma envs list before creating — reuse existing resources.
  • Sessions are stateful — send multiple messages to continue the conversation.
  • Use oma api sessions to see the full HTTP API when you need to code against it.
  • The agent_toolset_20260401 tool type gives agents file ops, bash, and web access.

Integrations

Publish an agent into a third-party tool so it acts as a teammate there. See integrations-linear.md for the Linear flow — covers the OAuth-app handshake, the two moments a human is genuinely needed, and how to verify / unpublish from the CLI.
