openrig-architect

by openrig

Use when designing multi-agent topologies that run ON OpenRig — authoring RigSpec and AgentSpec files for new rigs, creating agent startup content (guidance / skills / culture), or diagnosing why a launched rig's agents aren't behaving as intended. NOT for changing OpenRig itself (use developing-openrig); NOT for ordinary CLI operation of an existing rig (use openrig-user). Covers the full authoring lifecycle from user intent to validated, launchable rig.

openrig-skillsUse when you're operating OpenRig and need the right skill or context for fleet recovery, seat handover, new-seat orientation, a watchdog wake, cross-host reach to an agent on another machine, rig packaging, an OpenRig upgrade, systematic debugging, queue triage, or implementation planning; also use when you don't know what applies or nothing is projected on cold boot.1 installsrequirements-writerUse when converting PM intake into a slice SPEC.md with observable acceptance outcomes, explicit scope, and advisory sibling build dependencies.1 installstopology-mutation-and-seat-managementUse when changing a rig while it is alive — `rig grow` / `rig expand` / `rig shrink` / `rig launch` / `rig remove` / `rig discover` / `rig bind` / `rig adopt` / `rig attach`. Covers the 4 failure modes (newly created seat lacks queue/startup/role; edges and permissions not updated; adopt/bind succeeds at tmux but not OpenRig identity; shrink/remove leaves stale topology references) and the rule that mutation must work while the rig is active, not just in clean fixtures.1 installsopenrig-cmuxUse when opening OpenRig fleet terminals into cmux — turning a rig, pod, mission, slice, or saved view into live agent tiles via `rig terminal --provider cmux`, or driving cmux on an agent's request. Same OpenRig view semantics as openrig-herdr (the verbs, honest-partial/degrade, read-only cross-rig, scroll/copy, same-size-only duplicates); cmux is the **best-effort** provider (herdr is the default and the proof-gated one). Prefer openrig-herdr unless cmux is specifically wanted.1 installsplan-reviewMulti-perspective review of a feature plan or requirements doc before development begins. Evaluates from strategy, design/UX, and engineering angles to catch gaps early.0 installsbacklog-captureQuickly capture product ideas, feature requests, or insights from meetings and conversations. Rapid documentation with smart categorization and deduplication.0 installs

frontend-designCreate distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications (examples include websites, landing pages, dashboards, React components, HTML/CSS layouts, or when styling/beautifying any web UI). Generates creative, polished code and UI design that avoids generic AI aesthetics.2 installsopenrig-herdrUse when opening OpenRig fleet terminals as a herdr wall — turning a rig, pod, mission, slice, or saved view into live interactive agent tiles via `rig terminal`, watching another rig read-only, or driving herdr on an agent's request ("open all my rigs + a mission as views"). Covers the `rig terminal open|views|status` verbs, the honest-partial/degrade reading of the result, the read-only-by-construction rail for cross-rig views, scroll/copy out of the box, and the same-size-only duplicate-pane limit. herdr is the default, proof-gated provider.2 installssystematic-debuggingUse when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes2 installsui-mockupCreate UI mockups at three fidelity levels — ASCII wireframes for quick iteration, standalone HTML mockups for delivery with requirements, and live prototypes for interaction testing.2 installsagent-browserBrowser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction.1 installsverification-before-completionUse when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always1 installs

Frequently asked questions about openrig-architect

What does the openrig-architect skill do?

Use when designing multi-agent topologies that run ON OpenRig — authoring RigSpec and AgentSpec files for new rigs, creating agent startup content (guidance / skills / culture), or diagnosing why a launched rig's agents aren't behaving as intended. NOT for changing OpenRig itself (use developing-openrig); NOT for ordinary CLI operation of an existing rig (use openrig-user). Covers the full authoring lifecycle from user intent to validated, launchable rig. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the openrig-architect skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install openrig-openrig-architect` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/openrig-openrig-architect/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does openrig-architect work with?

openrig-architect runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the openrig-architect skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use openrig-architect after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/openrig-openrig-architect` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the openrig-architect skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
