OSSIP Skill - Agent Skill

An Agent Skill for AI agents to query Apache Kafka and Flink improvement proposals

What is the OSSIP Skill?

The OSSIP skill is a pre-built Agent Skill that allows AI agents to query the OSSIP JSON API programmatically. It's optimized for:

Status lookups ("Is KIP-123 approved?")
Activity queries ("Which proposals are stale?")
Vote analysis ("Who voted against this proposal?")
Cross-referencing ("Find KIPs related to consumer groups")
Author-based queries ("Show all proposals by a specific author")

The skill works with any agent supporting the Agent Skills standard, including:

Claude Code (Anthropic's official CLI)
Claude Desktop (when Agent Skills support is available)
Custom agents built with the Agent Skills framework

Installation

Download the skill file from https://ossip.dev/skill/ossip/SKILL.md and place it in your agent's skills directory. The installation location depends on whether you want project-scoped or personal (global) access.

Claude Code (Project-Scoped)

Install the skill for a specific project:

mkdir -p .claude/skills/ossip
curl -o .claude/skills/ossip/SKILL.md https://ossip.dev/skill/ossip/SKILL.md

The skill will be available only when working in that project directory.

Claude Code (Personal)

Install the skill globally for all projects:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/ossip
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/ossip/SKILL.md https://ossip.dev/skill/ossip/SKILL.md

The skill will be available in all Claude Code sessions.

Other Agents

For Claude Desktop or custom agents, consult your agent's documentation for where to place skill files. Most agents following the Agent Skills standard use a similar directory structure (~/.config/<agent-name>/skills/ossip/SKILL.md).
