Agent skills, documented and installable — Page 3
A skill is a written procedure an agent follows — a review checklist, a document pipeline, a research method. Browse the open catalog, read the full document before installing, and add anything here to your Ottermind agents in one click.
Diagnose which of five decision domains your situation belongs to, then match the right approach — before committing to a plan.
Escape skill plateaus by targeting the specific mental representations experts use, not just the hours you log.
Diagnose feedback loops to predict how complex systems behave and find where intervention actually works.
Diagnose why people know what to do but don't do it, then design a behavior-changing nudge without mandates or incentives.
Evaluate and design social proof claims with a structured analysis grounded in conformity research.
Turn threats into commitments others actually believe by restructuring incentives
Diagnose shared-resource degradation and design institutional solutions using Ostrom's 8 principles.
Generate breakthrough ideas by importing structural mechanisms from unrelated fields into your problem space.
Diagnose whether declining metrics signal a self-amplifying competitive spiral or a fixable problem.
Automated browser control via CLI with Playwright — open pages, interact, extract session credentials.
Audit strategies and portfolios for hidden assumptions that break under extreme events.
Diagnose your market position stage and execute the move to become the company customers consult before deciding.
Diagnose why someone values their asset far above market price — and structure a deal that bridges the gap.
Test explanations for behavior — catch when character is blamed without examining the situation.
Diagnoses when decisions are distorted by loss aversion and prospect theory — then re-tests them on explicit expected-value terms.
Map business units on a growth-share grid to see which fund the portfolio, which burn cash, and where to act.
Break the trade-off between differentiation and cost by mapping where an industry competes — then deliberately choosing not to.
Calculate exponential growth over time and compare early-start vs. late-start investment paths.
Make better high-stakes decisions by knowing when to trust intuition and when to force slow analysis.
Diagnose when team size demands structural change vs. communication fixes.
Tests whether you genuinely understand something or just recognize it — exposes the gaps in your mental model.
Diagnose whether first-mover status creates a durable competitive advantage — or signals a follower opportunity instead.
Predicts how people will game any metric you put in place — then designs the system that survives that prediction.
About Ottermind skills
This library collects the skills people are actually running in Ottermind. Each one is a reusable instruction package that teaches an agent how to do a specific job properly — the file format, the steps, the edge cases — so you describe the task once instead of re-explaining it every session.
Skills cover the full range of what an Ottermind agent does: building editable PowerPoint decks, generating product and brand images, writing and running code on a machine you connect, producing video from a script or a still, and cleaning and analysing spreadsheet data. A skill is what turns a general model into something that handles your specific version of one of those jobs the same way every time.
A skill is a plain Markdown file with a short frontmatter header, which means you can read exactly what it will do before running it, edit it to match your own conventions, and share it with colleagues. Once a skill produces the result you wanted, it can be attached to an agent or scheduled as an automation so the same work happens again without anyone rewriting the prompt.
- What is an Ottermind skill?
- A reusable instruction package written in Markdown. It gives an agent the context, steps, and constraints for one kind of task, so results stay consistent instead of depending on how well you phrased the prompt that day.
- How do I install and use a skill?
- Open any skill's detail page, read the full document, and install it into your workspace. From then on the agent can use it automatically when the task matches, or you can invoke it by name.
- Can I create my own skill?
- Yes. A skill is a Markdown file with frontmatter naming it and describing when it should be used. If you have a workflow you keep re-explaining to an agent, writing it down once as a skill is usually the shortest path to making it repeatable.
- Do skills cost extra?
- Browsing and installing skills from this library does not cost anything on its own. Running one consumes the same credits as any other agent task, depending on the model you choose and how much work the task involves.
