What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent how to work with OpenRig 'rig bundles', which are packaged, shareable setups that spin up a pre-defined multi-agent team layout and workflow. Once installed, the agent knows to inspect a bundle before installing it, to separate bundles (topology and workflow) from extensions (added runtime behavior), and to check that a bundle will work on a clean machine rather than only the author's. It is guidance for the agent rather than a tool that does the work itself.

Great for

  • Developers packaging a proven OpenRig team setup so others can install it
  • Teams reviewing a third-party rig bundle before installing it
  • Maintainers checking that a bundle is portable and self-describing

Skip it if

  • One-off setups you will not reuse, since plain specs are simpler (the skill itself says so)
  • Adding custom commands, views or dashboards, which belong to the extension skill instead
  • Anyone without OpenRig installed, since the guidance only applies to that tool's CLI

Try asking

  • “Inspect this rig bundle folder before I install it and tell me what it will create”
  • “Help me turn my working OpenRig team into a shareable bundle with a README and proof steps”
  • “Audit this bundle for portability: does it depend on my local paths or credentials?”
  • “Explain the difference between a bundle and an extension for my OpenRig project”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run rig bundle inspect before rig bundle install so you can see what will be created.
  • Before submitting a bundle, add a README and run rig bundle check until it reports no findings, since the registry check fails on any finding.
  • Ask the agent to audit for hidden local state such as paths, providers or credentials that a clean machine would lack.
