There are currently two direct ways to import an external skill.
  1. Create a skill with Create skill in chat and paste the external skill into that flow.
  2. Install a shared skill from your OpenWork Cloud organization in Skills -> Cloud or Settings -> Cloud.
There is another option if you’re technical: place it directly in .opencode/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md inside your workspace. We recommend the built-in skill creator for one-off imports and OpenWork Cloud for team-managed skills. For teams, OpenWork Cloud can publish shared skills either as standalone org skills or inside a skill hub. Each desktop workspace can install them from the Cloud tab on the Skills page or from Settings -> Cloud.

​
Installing a skill from OpenWork Cloud

If someone on your team saved a skill to your active OpenWork Cloud organization, open either Skills -> Cloud or Settings -> Cloud in the desktop app. From there you can:
  • click Install to add the skill to the current workspace
  • click Sync when the cloud version changes
  • click Uninstall if you no longer want the workspace-managed copy
If the skill belongs to a hub, OpenWork also shows the hub name so you know where it came from.

​
Creating a skill with /skill-creator in chat

Type /skill-creator in chat, then either paste the external skill you want to import or describe what you want the skill to do. OpenWork will generate a workspace-local skill from that input.
Using the /skill-creator command in chat
When pasting an existing skill, the file should follow this structure: 
---
name: name of the skill
description: one line description of what the skill does
---

Any markdown text with instructions and description of the skill
Make sure the file follows that format when importing skills from other marketplaces or other teams.
