All Skill Categories
Every category in the Ottermind skill directory, from coding and documents to browser automation and memory. Start here when you know the kind of work but not the skill.
Coding
6833Code-facing skills: review checklists, refactoring passes, test generation, migration scripts and language-specific conventions. Most encode a team's standards so an agent applies them the same way every time.
Design & media
3242Image, video, audio and design skills — generation prompts, editing pipelines, transcription and asset preparation. Most pair a creative brief with a concrete production step.
Data & analysis
2197Analysis skills that turn raw tables into answers — SQL generation, dataset profiling, chart specifications and reporting pipelines. Useful when the agent needs a method, not just database access.
Documents
2117Skills for reading and producing documents — PDFs, Word files, slide decks, spreadsheets and long-form reports. They cover both directions: pulling structure out of a file, and writing a finished one back.
Memory
1148Memory and knowledge skills: what an agent should remember, how to store it, and how to retrieve it later without dragging stale context into every conversation.
Browser
897Browser skills: navigating pages, filling forms, extracting structured data and driving automation frameworks. They matter when the work only exists behind a UI.
Integrations
815Skills that teach an agent how a specific service expects to be used — Slack, Notion, Jira, GitHub, Linear and other APIs. They add conventions and etiquette on top of raw tool access.
Security
633Security skills for authorized work — code auditing, dependency review, secret scanning and compliance checklists. They encode a review method, not an attack.
Agent & orchestration
1Skills that change how an agent plans, delegates and reports — sub-agent orchestration, review loops, planning templates and persona definitions. Reach for these when the problem is the agent's process rather than a missing tool.
Productivity
1Everyday work skills: inbox triage, meeting notes, task breakdowns, writing assistance and personal workflows. These are the ones people install first and keep enabled.
Other
1Skills that do not fit the main categories yet. Worth browsing when you know what you need but not what it would be filed under.
Research & search
0Research skills that decide where to look, how deep to go and when to stop — multi-source sweeps, source evaluation and structured summarization.
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.
