# OSM - Open Skills Manager

> OSM is an open-source agent skills registry and CLI tool for discovering, installing, and publishing reusable skills for AI agents.

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`, and `osm uninstall` to manage skills locally, similar to a traditional package manager.*
- **Skill Publishing** — *Scaffold a new skill with `osm create <skill-name>`, edit the generated `SKILL.md` manifest and `README.md`, then publish with `osm 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 `/agent` endpoint so AI agents can interact with the registry programmatically.*
- **Authentication** — *Supports account creation (`osm signup`), login/logout, and local token storage at `~/.osm/auth.json` for 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.*
