create-holistics-skill
Author a Holistics skill. Use whenever the user wants to write, edit, or refine a skill that gives Holistics AI specific knowledge, workflows, or guardrails — including phrasings like "add a skill for X", "create a workspace glossary skill", "turn this prompt into a reusable skill", or "make this Holistics AI smarter about Y". For converting a skill written for another runtime (Claude, OpenAI/Codex) into AML, use `convert-agent-skill-to-holistics` instead.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "holistics/skills:plugins/holistics-development/skills/create-holistics-skill" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/holistics/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/plugins/holistics-development/skills/create-holistics-skill ~/.claude/skills/create-holistics-skillFrom README
Creating a Holistics skill A skill is a persistent, named bundle of instructions and knowledge that Holistics AI loads when invoked. This guide walks you through authoring one as an AML Skill block placed at settings/ai/skills/ /skill.aml. If the user is porting an existing Claude or OpenAI/Codex skill into Holistics — or vice versa — use the convert-agent-skill-to-holistics skill instead. A skill is the wrong tool when: The request is a one-off prompt. Just ask the agent directly. The knowledge belongs in a dataset or model. Put it there. The workflow is already something the agent does well unprompted. Anatomy of a Holistics skill A Holistics skill is a single AML Skill block — no directory structure, no bundled scripts or references, just one block in one file. Every skill has four parts: Name — the identifier in Skill { ... }. User-visible in Holistics AI's skill list, and the handle for manual invocation.
