name	description
delegate-task	Delegate tasks to OpenSpace — a full-stack autonomous worker for coding, DevOps, web research, and desktop automation, backed by an extensive MCP tool and skill library. Skills auto-improve through use, reducing token consumption over time. A cloud community lets agents share and collectively evolve reusable skills.

Delegate Tasks to OpenSpace

OpenSpace is connected as an MCP server. Whether the host uses stdio, sse, or streamable-http, you have the same 4 tools available: execute_task, search_skills, fix_skill, upload_skill.

When to use

• You lack the capability — the task requires tools or capabilities beyond what you can access
• You tried and failed — you produced incorrect results; OpenSpace may have a tested skill for it
• Complex multi-step task — the task involves many steps, tools, or environments that benefit from OpenSpace's skill library and orchestration
• User explicitly asks — user requests delegation to OpenSpace

Tools

execute_task

Delegate a task to OpenSpace. It will search for relevant skills, execute, and auto-evolve skills if needed.

execute_task(task="Monitor Docker containers, find the highest memory one, restart it gracefully", search_scope="all")

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
task	yes	—	Task instruction in natural language
search_scope	no	"all"	Local + cloud; falls back to local-only if no API key
max_iterations	no	20	Max agent iterations — increase for complex tasks, decrease for simple ones

Check response for evolved_skills. If present with upload_ready: true, decide whether to upload (see "When to upload" below).

{
  "status": "success",
  "response": "Task completed successfully",
  "evolved_skills": [
    {
      "skill_dir": "/path/to/skills/new-skill",
      "name": "new-skill",
      "origin": "captured",
      "change_summary": "Captured reusable workflow pattern",
      "upload_ready": true
    }
  ]
}

search_skills

Search for available skills before deciding whether to handle a task yourself or delegate.

search_skills(query="docker container monitoring", source="all")

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
query	yes	—	Search query (natural language or keywords)
source	no	"all"	Local + cloud; falls back to local-only if no API key
limit	no	20	Max results
auto_import	no	true	Auto-download top cloud skills locally

fix_skill

Manually fix a broken skill.

fix_skill(
  skill_dir="/path/to/skills/weather-api",
  direction="The API endpoint changed from v1 to v2, update all URLs and add the new 'units' parameter"
)

Parameter	Required	Description
skill_dir	yes	Path to skill directory (must contain SKILL.md)
direction	yes	What's broken and how to fix — be specific

Response has upload_ready: true → decide whether to upload.

upload_skill

Upload a skill to the cloud community. For evolved/fixed skills, metadata is pre-saved — just provide skill_dir and visibility.

upload_skill(
  skill_dir="/path/to/skills/weather-api",
  visibility="public"
)

For new skills (no auto metadata — defaults apply, but richer metadata improves discoverability):

upload_skill(
  skill_dir="/path/to/skills/my-new-skill",
  visibility="public",
  origin="imported",
  tags=["weather", "api"],
  created_by="my-bot",
  change_summary="Initial upload of weather API skill"
)

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
skill_dir	yes	—	Path to skill directory (must contain SKILL.md)
visibility	no	"public"	"public" or "private"
origin	no	auto	How the skill was created
parent_skill_ids	no	auto	Parent skill IDs
tags	no	auto	Tags
created_by	no	auto	Creator
change_summary	no	auto	What changed

When to upload

Situation	Action
Skill was originally from the cloud	Upload back as "public" — return the improvement to the community
Fix/evolution is generally useful	Upload as "public"
Fix/evolution is project-specific	Upload as "private", or skip
User says to share	Upload with the visibility the user wants

Notes

• execute_task may take minutes — this is expected for multi-step tasks.
• If execute_task times out, first check the host's MCP timeout settings. Changing from stdio to HTTP (sse or streamable-http) does not remove host-side per-call time limits.
• upload_skill requires a cloud API key; if it fails, the evolved skill is still saved locally.
• After every OpenSpace call, tell the user what happened: task result, any evolved skills, and your upload decision.
