openmates:add-app-skill

To scaffold a new Python skill, this tool generates a BaseSkill subclass and Pydantic models in the correct app folder, then registers the tool schema and class path in app.yml. It also adds i18n entries across all locales.

Registering a new tool schema in app.yml requires adding provider metadata, the class path, and the schema definition. This scaffolding process automatically updates the YAML file to route and expose the new skill to the agent runtime.

The best way to add i18n discovery metadata is to update the skills translation source across all supported locales simultaneously. This scaffolder handles the updates and instructs rebuilding UI translations for the new skill names and descriptions.

Yes, this scaffolding process uses Pydantic for request and response models. It generates typed execute() parameters matching the defined tool_schema, ensuring the BaseSkill subclass aligns with the app’s interface conventions.

Yes, you can use an existing skill as a template to ensure consistency with the target app’s structure, embed behavior, and schema conventions. This approach maintains alignment with the app’s BaseSkill interface and app.yml schema rules.

To create a new skill in an OpenMates app microservice, run the command: add-app-skill <appId> <skillId> <SkillClassName>. This scaffolds and registers the skill within the specified app environment.
