OPOpen Steps
A plain-language skills pack for AI coding agents, covering session reports, questions, steps and claim checking.
About this project
Open Steps is a skills pack for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI and Gemini CLI. Its instructions organize completion reports, questions, user steps, risk review and claim checking in plain language. It also maintains a project overview and backlog so the person supervising an agent can follow the work without decoding technical shorthand.
Installation depends on the host: the README documents plugin installation or copying skills, then adding a routing block and the relevant hook configuration. Some checks can use the GitHub CLI; when that evidence is unavailable, the instructions call for an unverified result rather than invented verification. The operating-system path follows the selected host and shell environment.
The pack uses MIT licensing. Its current workflow can merge a pull request after checks and review pass, subject to the host's permission settings and the user's standing instructions. That automation is a real behavior to inspect before installation, and the README's own trigger measurements are author-reported results rather than an independent guarantee.

Project recommendation
Positively discusses how Open Steps can make agent work understandable to people without an engineering background.
Source labels distinguish recommendations, neutral mentions and the author’s own releases. Commercial relationships are unknown unless an author relationship is shown. Worthary reviews project eligibility separately.
Why it is worth a look
- Plain-language session reports and next steps
- Questions that explain choices and their consequences
Before you use it
- Configure the skills for the specific host
- Review standing instructions that control automatic merging
- Optional GitHub CLI checks must remain unverified when their evidence is unavailable
- Author-reported triggering tests are not an independent performance guarantee

What it can do
- Plain-language session reports and next steps
- Questions that explain choices and their consequences
- Claim checking and project-status tracking through agent skills
Who it fits
Following agent work through understandable reports; Keeping next steps and verified project status in one place
Installing agent instructions without reviewing merge behavior; Treating plain-language reports as independent proof of completed work
Getting started
- Choose the documented installation path for your agent host
- Install the skills and review the routing block, hooks and standing instructions
- Check how completion reports and pull-request merge permissions behave on a disposable task
