Octo Skills Marketplace

A curated collection of skills for Octo — the LangGraph multi-agent CLI.

Skills are markdown-based workflow instructions that guide Octo's agents. They're lightweight (kilobytes, not megabytes), language-agnostic, and require zero backend infrastructure.

How Skills Work

A skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter and markdown instructions:

---
name: my-skill
version: 1.0.0
author: your-github-username
description: One-line description for search results
tags: [category1, category2]
model-invocation: true

dependencies:
  python: []
  npm: []
  mcp: []
  system: []
---

# Skill Title

Your workflow instructions here...

When invoked (via /my-skill command or proactively by the agent), the skill body is injected into the conversation as workflow instructions for the supervisor agent.

Creating a Skill

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full guide. Quick version:

1. Fork this repo
2. Copy templates/SKILL_TEMPLATE.md to skills/your-skill/SKILL.md
3. Fill in the frontmatter and write your instructions
4. Add a README.md to your skill directory
5. Submit a PR

Registry

The registry.json file is auto-generated from skill frontmatter and git stats. It's rebuilt on every push to main and daily via GitHub Actions. The Octo CLI fetches this file for search and install operations.
