What it does

OKF represents knowledge as a directory of markdown files with YAML frontmatter. It is minimal by design: no schema registry, no runtime, no SDK. Your job is to produce, maintain, and consume OKF bundles conformant with the spec, not your memory of it.

When your AI uses it

Use when capturing project knowledge (services, APIs, schemas, metrics, runbooks, decisions) into an OKF bundle, when updating one after…

You don’t need to name it. Ask for the job in your own words — your AI loads the skill when the request matches.

What it can touch

  • Includes 1 script

    Your AI can run these when the skill is used — on your computer in a coding tool (which asks first unless you have told it not to), or in the AI’s own sandbox in Claude and ChatGPT.

    How we know

    Found in the skill’s folder: scripts/okf_init.py.

  • Uses terminal commands

    It shows your AI commands to run. In a coding agent that means your terminal; in a chat app it usually can’t.

    How we know

    The SKILL.md contains shell code blocks.

  • Lets your AI run any terminal command without asking, while the skill is in use

    While the skill is working, Claude Code will not stop to ask before each terminal command. The permission ends when you send your next message.

    How we know

    SKILL.md line 1: “allowed-tools: Read Write Edit Grep Glob Bash”. Read 2026-10-05, commit 8e31878.

  • 1 smaller thing worth knowing

    Has notes hidden from people (HTML comments) that your AI still reads. Usually legitimate — listed so nothing is hidden.

  • No serious risk pattern found

    Launch7’s automated check read all 7 text files in this skill and matched none of its serious risk patterns. This is not a guarantee: a check like this can miss new or disguised tricks, and the author can change the files after the check.

    How we know

    Read 2026-10-05, commit 8e31878 by pipeline/trust/analyze.py — 40+ patterns for hidden text, prompt injection, downloads that run, credential access and more. It reads; it never runs the skill.

  • Recently maintained

    Its repository has had changes recently.

    How we know

    Last push to scaccogatto/okf-skills: 2026-09-28 (7 days before the scan).

Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 5 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check

Add it to your AI

Partly. Upload it in Claude’s settings — the instructions work; the scripts need the full folder.

  1. Built in your browser from the SKILL.md on GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.

  2. In Claude, open Customize → Skills, press +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the .zip.

  3. Make sure code execution is switched on (Settings → Capabilities). Skills need it.

  4. Start a new chat and ask for the job in your own words — Claude picks the skill up when it fits.

This skill ships 1 script beside its instructions. The download here is the SKILL.md alone — enough for the instructions, not for the parts that run code. Use the command route, or take the full folder from the repository.

How Claude does this: support.claude.com · checked 28 Sep 2026 · “Supported” means documented by the vendor; Launch7 has not run it end to end
