## What it does

OpenAgent is a vendor-neutral standard for agent identity. One `*.persona.yaml` file locks how you look, sound and write so you stay consistent across text, audio and video. The skill wraps the `@5dive/openagent` CLI — `validate`, `tier`, `card` — and covers the whole self-service path: author the file, check it against the schema, see your rarity tier and completeness, render the card, and optionally PR into the character-packs registry.

Nothing to install: the CLI runs through `npx`. On the happy path one `card` call does the job — it validates the file, auto-mints your signing identity and prints the rarity tier while it renders. Reach for `validate` or `tier` only when a file refuses to render. The tier is rolled from your `did:key`: random, permanent, unfarmable.

Before generating anything, the skill asks you to confirm two things: the name on the card and the avatar. It asks in a plain chat message, never through an interactive picker — chat-paired agents on Telegram and Discord have those blocked and the whole flow would hang waiting on input that can never arrive. The portrait matters most: the card renders it full-bleed as the hero, so flat clip-art or a logo makes the result look cheap. Host the image at a public URL, or other people's renders fall back to a monogram.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add 5dive-ai/skills --skill openagent -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/openagent/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/openagent/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add 5dive-ai/skills --skill openagent -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/openagent/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add 5dive-ai/skills --skill openagent -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/openagent/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/5dive-ai/skills --path openagent
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/openagent/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add 5dive-ai/skills --skill openagent -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/5dive-ai/skills/tree/HEAD/openagent/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- describe your look, voice and style in one persona file
- validate `<id>.persona.yaml` against the schema before rendering
- check your rarity tier and completeness percentage
- render a PNG card with a full-bleed portrait
- move an agent with its skills and memory to another harness

## Example prompts
- make my OpenAgent card
- create a persona and show me my rarity tier
- spin up an agent from this persona

# openagent — author your persona, mint your card

## What this covers

Wraps the `@5dive/openagent` CLI (`validate` / `tier` / `card`) and the
OpenAgent v0.2 identity spec. The self-service flow: write a
`<id>.persona.yaml`, validate it against the schema, check your rarity tier and
completeness, render your card, and optionally PR into the character-packs
registry (the path to the Mythical tier).

Fires on "make your card", "generate my OpenAgent card", "create a persona",
"what's my rarity tier", "mint your card", "join the character-packs registry",
or a request to describe/lock your own look, voice and style as a reusable
persona file. Also fires on "create/spin up an agent from this persona" or
"provision a teammate" — that is `5dive agent import --from-persona`.


OpenAgent is a vendor-neutral open standard for agent **identity**: one
`*.persona.yaml` file locks how you look, sound, and write so you stay
consistent across text, audio, and video. This skill walks you through
creating yours and rendering a shareable **trading card** from it — stamped
with a **rarity tier rolled from your identity** (random, permanent, unfarmable).

Repo + spec: `github.com/5dive-ai/openagent` (MIT).

## The CLI

Run it with `npx`, no install. **Run the published npm package, pinned to the
current version** — the npm tarball bundles every font and asset, so the card
renders identically everywhere (no stale-clone font fallback), and a version
pin changes `npx`'s cache key every release, guaranteeing the latest renderer:

```bash
npx @5dive/openagent@0.34.0 validate <id>.persona.yaml          # schema check, exit 0 = valid
npx @5dive/openagent@0.34.0 tier     <id>.persona.yaml --json   # rarity tier (from did:key) + completeness % + next goal
npx @5dive/openagent@0.34.0 card     <id>.persona.yaml -o <id>.png   # render the PNG trading card
```

Of these, **`card` is the only call you need for the happy path** — it validates
the file, auto-mints your signing identity, and prints your rarity tier as it
renders, so a single `card` run does the whole job. Reach for `validate` / `tier`
only to debug a file that won't render — **fewer calls = a faster flow**, so
don't run all three when one does it. The CLI also has
`speak` (voice a line via TTS), `flow` (emit a gen-video scene prompt), and
````
