Skill hubs are the team-wide way to distribute grouped skills in OpenWork Cloud. You create the skills and team assignments in the Cloud dashboard, then each desktop workspace can import the hub in one step. If you only need to publish a single skill, you can also save it directly from the desktop app without adding it to a hub. Those standalone org skills still appear in Skills -> Cloud and Settings -> Cloud -> Skills, but hubs are the better fit when you want one team-managed collection.

​
1. Create the organization

If you do not already have one, open app.openworklabs.com, click Create organization, enter the org name, and finish checkout if prompted.

​
2. Create the team

  1. Open Members -> Teams.
  2. Click Create Team.
  3. Enter Team name.
  4. Select the Team members that should receive the hub.
  5. Click Create team.
Note: Only Owner and Admin members can manage teams.

​
3. Create the skill or upload it from the desktop app

  1. Open Skill Hubs -> All Skills.
  2. Click Add Skill.
  3. Choose Manual Entry or Upload SKILL.md.
  4. Fill Skill Name, Short Description, and Detailed Instructions (Markdown).
  5. Choose the right Visibility.
  6. Click Create Skill.
Skill creators and org admins can manage skills and hubs. If the skill already exists in a desktop workspace, you can also open Workspace -> Skills, click Share skill, choose Team, and save it to your active organization before attaching it to a hub.

​
4. Create the hub and assign it to the team

  1. Open Skill Hubs -> Hubs.
  2. Click Create Hub.
  3. Set Hub Name and optional Description.
  4. Under Assigned Teams, select the teams that should access the hub.
  5. Under Hub Skills, select the skills to include.
  6. Click Create Hub.
Skill hub access and included skills in OpenWork Cloud

​
5. Import the hub into the desktop app

  1. Open the desktop app and go to Settings -> Cloud.
  2. Choose the same Active org.
  3. Under Skill hubs, click Import all on the hub.
  4. Reload the workspace when OpenWork asks.
OpenWork installs the hub’s skills into .opencode/skills for that workspace. If you need just one shared skill instead of the entire hub, open Skills -> Cloud or Settings -> Cloud -> Skills and install it there.

​
Keeping it up to date

  • Use Sync in Settings -> Cloud -> Skill hubs after the hub changes.
  • Use Settings -> Cloud -> Skills or Skills -> Cloud to sync, uninstall, or review individual skills that came from the org.
  • Use Remove to stop managing the hub from this workspace.
