Automated summary

Opens the AutoMates project root folder in the system file browser by running `open` on the current directory.

Strengths

Single, instant command with no setup needed
Prints a quick map of the layout (AgenTeam/, Library/, Brief.md, .claude/) after opening
Handy for jumping from the terminal to a visual browse of agent identities and the knowledge base

Limitations

Relies on the `open` command, so it is macOS-only
Opens the current working directory only, so results depend on where the skill is invoked
No arguments or filters: you cannot target a specific subfolder

When to use it

When you are working in AutoMates and want to visually inspect the agent folders and library without leaving the conversation.

When not to use it

On Linux or Windows, or when you need to open a specific subfolder or file rather than the project root.

Security analysis

Safe

Quality score65/100

The skill performs a single read-only action: opening the current working directory in the OS file browser. There is no exfiltration, no destructive command, no obfuscation, and no attempt to bypass safety controls. The Bash grant is broader than strictly needed (a fixed `open .` would do), but the instruction is fully transparent and benign.

Findings

•allowed-tools includes Bash, but the only command executed is `open "$(pwd)"` — no network, no writes, no deletion
•Relies on `open`, which is macOS-specific; on Linux/Windows it will simply error out harmlessly

Usage

/automates

Instructions

Run this command to open the root folder:

open "$(pwd)"

Then tell the user:

Opened AutoMates root folder. Here's what's inside:

AgenTeam/    — All 10 agent identities and memory (one folder per agent)
Library/     — Knowledge base, research sources, Rules.md, Arsenal.yaml
Brief.md     — Project state, team status, recent activity
.claude/     — Rules (auto-loaded) + Skills (slash commands)

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/open-automates-root-folder-mryiqihs/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/open-automates-root-folder-mryiqihs' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/open-automates-root-folder-mryiqihs/download' --output '.skill-downloads/open-automates-root-folder-mryiqihs/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/open-automates-root-folder-mryiqihs/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/open-automates-root-folder-mryiqihs/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation

openskills install './.skill-downloads/open-automates-root-folder-mryiqihs'

openskills read 'open-automates-root-folder-mryiqihs'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/open-automates-root-folder-mryiqihs/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
