LLMs are simulators—when given a detailed system description, they don't just describe it, they simulate it. The prose.md specification describes a virtual machine with enough fidelity that a Prose Complete system reading it becomes that VM. Simulation with sufficient fidelity is implementation. You are the Prose Complete system. ### Moltbot Runtime Mapping Task tool in the upstream spec == Moltbot sessions_spawn File I/O == Moltbot read/write Remote fetch == Moltbot web_fetch (or exec with curl when POST is required) ### When to Activate Activate this skill when the user: Uses ANY prose command (e.g., prose boot, prose run, prose compile, prose update, prose help, etc.) Asks to run a .prose file Mentions "OpenProse" or "prose program" Wants to orchestrate multiple AI agents from a script Has a file with session "..." or agent name: syntax Wants to create a reusable workflow ### Command Routing When a user invokes prose , intelligently route based on intent: CommandActionprose helpLoad help.md, guide user to what they needprose run Load VM (prose.md + state backend), execute the programprose run handle/slugFetch from registry, then execute (see Remote Programs below)prose compile Load compiler.md, validate the programprose updateRun migration (see Migration section below)prose examplesShow or run example programs from examples/OtherIntelligently interpret based on context ### Important: Single Skill There is only ONE skill: open-prose. There are NO separate skills like prose-run, prose-compile, or prose-boot. All prose commands route through this single skill. ### Resolving Example References Examples are bundled in examples/ (same directory as this file). When users reference examples by name (e.g., "run the gastown example"): Read examples/ to list available files Match by partial name, keyword, or number Run with: prose run examples/28-gas-town.prose Common examples by keyword: KeywordFilehello, hello worldexamples/01-hello-world.prosegas town, gastownexamples/28-gas-town.prosecaptain, chairexamples/29-captains-chair.proseforge, browserexamples/37-the-forge.proseparallelexamples/16-parallel-reviews.prosepipelineexamples/21-pipeline-operations.proseerror, retryexamples/22-error-handling.prose ### Remote Programs You can run any .prose program from a URL or registry reference: # Direct URL — any fetchable URL works prose run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openprose/prose/main/skills/open-prose/examples/48-habit-miner.prose # Registry shorthand — handle/slug resolves to p.prose.md prose run irl-danb/habit-miner prose run alice/code-review Resolution rules: InputResolutionStarts with http:// or https://Fetch directly from URLContains / but no protocolResolve to https://p.prose.md/{path}OtherwiseTreat as local file path Steps for remote programs: Apply resolution rules above Fetch the .prose content Load the VM and execute as normal This same resolution applies to use statements inside .prose files: use "https://example.com/my-program.prose" # Direct URL use "alice/research" as research # Registry shorthand ### File Locations Do NOT search for OpenProse documentation files.

This is the recommended mode for most programs. Switching modes: If the user says "use in-context state" or passes --in-context, load state/in-context.md instead. Experimental SQLite mode: If the user passes --state=sqlite or says "use sqlite state", load state/sqlite.md. This mode requires sqlite3 CLI to be installed (pre-installed on macOS, available via package managers on Linux/Windows). If sqlite3 is unavailable, warn the user and fall back to filesystem state. Experimental PostgreSQL mode: If the user passes --state=postgres or says "use postgres state": ⚠️ Security Note: Database credentials in OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL are passed to subagent sessions and visible in logs. Advise users to use a dedicated database with limited-privilege credentials. See state/postgres.md for secure setup guidance. Check for connection configuration first: # Check .prose/.env for OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL cat .prose/.env 2>/dev/null | grep OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL # Or check environment variable echo $OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL If connection string exists, verify connectivity: psql "$OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL" -c "SELECT 1" 2>&1 If not configured or connection fails, advise the user: ⚠️ PostgreSQL state requires a connection URL. To configure: 1. Set up a PostgreSQL database (Docker, local, or cloud) 2. Add connection string to .prose/.env: echo "OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/prose" >> .prose/.env Quick Docker setup: docker run -d --name prose-pg -e POSTGRES_DB=prose -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust -p 5432:5432 postgres:16 echo "OPENPROSE_POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://postgres@localhost:5432/prose" >> .prose/.env See state/postgres.md for detailed setup options. Only after successful connection check, load state/postgres.md This mode requires both psql CLI and a running PostgreSQL server. If either is unavailable, warn and offer fallback to filesystem state. Context warning: compiler.md is large. Only load it when the user explicitly requests compilation or validation. After compiling, recommend /compact or a new session before running—don't keep both docs in context. ### Examples The examples/ directory contains 37 example programs: 01-08: Basics (hello world, research, code review, debugging) 09-12: Agents and skills 13-15: Variables and composition 16-19: Parallel execution 20-21: Loops and pipelines 22-23: Error handling 24-27: Advanced (choice, conditionals, blocks, interpolation) 28: Gas Town (multi-agent orchestration) 29-31: Captain's chair pattern (persistent orchestrator) 33-36: Production workflows (PR auto-fix, content pipeline, feature factory, bug hunter) 37: The Forge (build a browser from scratch) Start with 01-hello-world.prose or try 37-the-forge.prose to watch AI build a web browser. ### Execution When first invoking the OpenProse VM in a session, display this banner: ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ◇ OpenProse VM ◇ │ │ A new kind of computer │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ To execute a .prose file, you become the OpenProse VM: Read prose.md — this document defines how you embody the VM You ARE the VM — your conversation is its memory, your tools are its instructions Spawn sessions — each session statement triggers a Task tool call Narrate state — use the narration protocol to track execution ([Position], [Binding], [Success], etc.) Evaluate intelligently — **...** markers require your judgment ### Help & FAQs For syntax reference, FAQs, and getting started guidance, load help.md. ### Migration (prose update) When a user invokes prose update, check for legacy file structures and migrate them to the current format. ### Legacy Paths to Check Legacy PathCurrent PathNotes.prose/state.json.prose/.envConvert JSON to key=value format.prose/execution/.prose/runs/Rename directory ### Migration Steps Check for .prose/state.json If exists, read the JSON content Convert to .env format: {"OPENPROSE_TELEMETRY": "enabled", "USER_ID": "user-xxx", "SESSION_ID": "sess-xxx"} becomes: OPENPROSE_TELEMETRY=enabled USER_ID=user-xxx SESSION_ID=sess-xxx Write to .prose/.env Delete .prose/state.json Check for .prose/execution/ If exists, rename to .prose/runs/ The internal structure of run directories may also have changed; migration of individual run state is best-effort Create .prose/agents/ if missing This is a new directory for project-scoped persistent agents ### Migration Output 🔄 Migrating OpenProse workspace... ✓ Converted .prose/state.json → .prose/.env ✓ Renamed .prose/execution/ → .prose/runs/ ✓ Created .prose/agents/ ✅ Migration complete. Your workspace is up to date. If no legacy files are found: ✅ Workspace already up to date. No migration needed. ### Skill File References (for maintainers) These documentation files were renamed in the skill itself (not user workspace): Legacy NameCurrent Namedocs.mdcompiler.mdpatterns.mdguidance/patterns.mdantipatterns.mdguidance/antipatterns.md If you encounter references to the old names in user prompts or external docs, map them to the current paths. ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: mondilo1 - Version: 0.1.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-05-03T06:30:56.683Z - Expires at: 2026-05-10T06:30:56.683Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/prose) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/prose/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/prose/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/prose/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/prose)
