Install

With your agent

Install OMGSkills skill "danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure:CreateSkill" 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/danielmiessler/LifeOS /tmp/LifeOS && ln -s /tmp/LifeOS/LifeOS/install/skills/CreateSkill ~/.claude/skills/CreateSkill

From README

CreateSkill Contents: Ideal State · Intent Routing · Data & Config · Gotchas · Examples CreateSkill is the one door for skill work in LifeOS: it creates, edits, validates, canonicalizes, tests, improves and retires skills, and every skill it touches leaves written to the intent standard in /.claude/LIFEOS/DOCUMENTATION/Skills/SkillSystem.md § Intent anatomy. An intent is a small ISA. It opens with ## Ideal State (testable outcomes of the deliverable) and ## Anti-criteria (what must never happen), then carries only Inputs, Safety gates, Tool contract, Gotchas, Output format, Examples and References. Choreography of the model's reasoning is cut, never relocated; the four keep-classes (safety gate, verified gotcha with provenance, tool contract, output-format contract) are the only legitimate how (LIFEOS/RULES/Philosophy.md § Ideal-State Prompting, skills/Prompting/Standards.md).
