README

outline-skill

An open-source Agent Skill and CLI tool for managing, formatting, and organizing notes and knowledge base documentation in [Outline](https://www.getoutline.com/).

Built for AI coding agents such as **Google Antigravity**, **Claude Code**, **Cursor**, **Codex**, and any agent adhering to the [Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/).

Key Features

Standard Agent Skill Specification: Fully compliant with agentskills.io standard, discoverable by npx skills and modern AI coding assistants.
Outline Formatting Guardrails:
- Automatically eliminates title duplication (prevents awkward leading # Title collision).
- Natively structures Outline callouts (:::info, :::tip, :::warning, :::danger).
- Ensures proper language tagging for code blocks and clean table alignments.
Dual-Engine Architecture:
- Native MCP Support: Seamlessly leverages Outline's built-in Model Context Protocol tools (list_documents, create_document, etc.) if configured.
- Zero-Dependency CLI Fallback: Bundles a standalone Node.js client (scripts/outline-client.mjs) using native fetch (Node 18+) that works out-of-the-box without requiring an MCP server.
Intelligent Knowledge Workflows:
- Automatically transforms chat/debugging/troubleshooting sessions into structured runbooks.
- Checks for existing notes before creation to prevent redundant pages.
- Automatically files documents into appropriate collections (knowledge bases).
