About OSM - Open Skills Manager
OSM (Open Skills Manager) is an open-source registry and command-line tool for managing reusable skills for AI agents, following the agentskills.io specification. It hosts over 52,000 skills that agents and developers can search, install, and publish. OSM functions like a package manager (similar to npm) but specifically designed for AI agent capabilities, making it easy to extend agents with pre-built, versioned skill packages.
- Skill Registry — Browse and search 52,000+ published agent skills by name or description using
osm search <query>. - CLI Installation — Install OSM with a single curl command (
curl -fsSL https://www.osmagent.com/install.sh | bash) requiring only Node.js v18+. - Install & Manage Skills — Use
osm install <skill>,osm update, andosm uninstallto manage skills locally, similar to a traditional package manager. - Skill Publishing — Scaffold a new skill with
osm create <skill-name>, edit the generatedSKILL.mdmanifest andREADME.md, then publish withosm publish. - SKILL.md Manifest Format — Each skill uses a Markdown file with YAML front-matter specifying name, version, description, and AI model compatibility (e.g., claude-3, gpt-4).
- Agent-Friendly Interface — Provides a dedicated
/agentendpoint so AI agents can interact with the registry programmatically. - Authentication — Supports account creation (
osm signup), login/logout, and local token storage at~/.osm/auth.jsonfor secure publishing. - Structured Skill Packages — Skills follow a standard folder structure including a manifest, README, setup scripts, API references, and optional assets, with a max package size of 1 MB.
- Open Source — Fully open source on GitHub, enabling community contributions and transparency.
- Discovery Feed — OSM Discovery surface highlights recently published and most-downloaded skills for easy exploration.
