This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 18, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Installed @opentag/cli 0.6.0 from npm and ran `opentag --help`: every command the skill documents (setup, start, status, doctor, platforms, executors, config, cancel) exists exactly as described, so the guidance is grounded in the real tool rather than guessed. On a 'set up OpenTag with Slack' task the skill produced the correct install path, verification via `opentag doctor`, the real config location ~/.config/opentag/config.json, and honest limitation notes (OpenClaw cancel=no, foreground process) that a no-skill baseline for this niche tool cannot supply. Frontmatter parses, all five references/*.md and the docs/platforms guides exist, and the copy install ran verbatim from a bare HOME.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What OpenTag does

Guides installation, configuration, and debugging of the published @opentag/cli, which connects collaboration platforms (Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Lark) to a local coding agent. Triggers on OpenTag setup, `opentag start`, missing callbacks, auth errors, or platform credential steps. Enforces safe defaults: user-led credentials, redacted config, foreground process.

How to install OpenTag

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Commands — how to trigger OpenTag

  • /opentag Set up and troubleshoot the OpenTag CLI that links Slack/GitHub to coding agents

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Help me set up OpenTag so Slack messages reach my coding agent.
  • OpenTag start isn't delivering Slack callbacks, can you debug it?
  • Configure OpenTag to connect GitHub issues to my local coding agent.

Frequently asked questions

Is the OpenTag skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from amplifthq/opentag. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

How do I install OpenTag?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use OpenTag with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
