Owner-Operator Skills

Agent Skills for people who run small businesses — practical playbooks for the administrative work that comes with owning a company: entity formation, bookkeeping, taxes, contracts, and compliance deadlines.

What is an Agent Skill?

A skill is a folder of instructions that an AI agent loads when it is relevant to what you asked. Instead of re-explaining a process every time, you write it down once and the agent follows it. Each skill here is a procedure a competent person would walk you through: what to do, in what order, and which parts people get wrong.

Convention

One folder per skill, named for the skill, containing a `SKILL.md`:

texas-llc-formation/
└── SKILL.md

`SKILL.md` opens with YAML frontmatter — a `name` and a `description` that tells the agent when the skill applies — followed by the instructions in Markdown. Supporting files (templates, checklists, reference documents) live alongside it in the same folder.

Installing a skill

Copy the skill's folder into your agent's skills directory:

git clone https://github.com/Tom-Babb/owner-operator.git
cp -r owner-operator/texas-llc-formation ~/.claude/skills/

Skills in `~/.claude/skills/` are available everywhere; to scope one to a single project, copy it into that project's `.claude/skills/` instead. The agent picks it up on the next session and invokes it when the work matches its description.
