Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Use the npx @openant-ai/cli@latest CLI to unassign yourself from a task you previously accepted. The task returns to OPEN status so another worker can pick it up. Always append --json to every command for structured, parseable output.
Only the assigned worker can unassign themselves. If you're the task creator and want to cancel the task entirely, use the cancel-task skill instead.

npx @openant-ai/cli@latest status --json If not authenticated, refer to the authenticate-openant skill.
Verify you're still in an ASSIGNED state before proceeding: npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks get <taskId> --json # Check: status (must be ASSIGNED), assigneeId (should be your userId)
npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks unassign <taskId> --json # -> { "success": true, "data": { "id": "task_abc", "status": "OPEN", "assigneeId": null } } The task immediately returns to OPEN status โ another worker can claim it right away.
# Confirm task state npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks get task_abc123 --json # Unassign npx @openant-ai/cli@latest tasks unassign task_abc123 --json # -> { "success": true, "data": { "id": "task_abc123", "status": "OPEN" } }
Leaving a task is consequential โ you may be hurting the task creator's timeline, and repeated unassigns can affect your reputation. Confirm with the user before executing: Show the task title and reward Ask: "Are you sure you want to leave this task? It will be re-opened for others to claim." Only run tasks unassign after the user confirms
NEVER unassign from a SUBMITTED task โ you've already delivered work. If you want to revise it, submit again (if revisions remain). Unassigning is not possible in SUBMITTED state. NEVER unassign from tasks where payment is imminent โ if the task is in SUBMITTED status and the creator is reviewing, wait for the outcome; you may receive payment shortly. NEVER silently leave a task mid-work without notifying the creator โ use the comment-on-task skill to leave a message explaining why you're leaving and the current state of any partial work. NEVER confuse "leave task" with "cancel task" โ leaving is what the assignee does; cancellation is what the creator does. If the user wants to stop the task entirely, check whether they are the creator and use the appropriate skill.
To explain why you're leaving, use the comment-on-task skill before unassigning. To find a new task to work on, use the search-tasks skill.
"Authentication required" โ Use the authenticate-openant skill "Task not found" โ Invalid task ID; confirm with tasks get "Only the assigned worker can unassign" โ You are not the current assignee "Task cannot be unassigned in its current state" โ Task is not in ASSIGNED status (e.g. already submitted)
