Open Skills Initiative

Build Skills for the Energy Transition

The climate crisis is a collective challenge. No single organization has all the domain expertise needed for the energy transition. Contribute your procedural knowledge as Skills that AI agents can execute at scale.

This is an early, open initiative. One reference skill ships today (lcoe-calculator); everything else below is an open roadmap of proposed skills, not a shipped catalog.

Why Contribute Open Skills?

Collective Intelligence

The energy transition requires expertise across finance, engineering, policy, and sustainability. Skills let domain experts contribute without needing to understand the full AI system.

Non-Proprietary Knowledge

Skills encode public methodologies: NREL's LCOE formula, EPA emission factors, GHG Protocol calculations. This is procedural knowledge, not trade secrets.

AI-Scale Execution

Your expertise becomes reusable logic for configured workflows. One contribution can create impact across repeated decisions.

“Stop building bespoke agents for every task. Build reusable Skills that any agent can invoke. Code is the universal interface.”

— Skills-First Architecture Philosophy

How to Contribute

Choose a Skill Gap

Review the skills inventory below and pick one marked as 'needed' that matches your expertise.

Follow the Template

Use the lcoe-calculator as your reference implementation. Copy the folder structure and adapt it.

Write Python Scripts

Implement your calculation using only Python standard library. Accept JSON input, output JSON.

Add Tests & Examples

Include test cases and example inputs so others can validate and learn from your work.

Submit a Pull Request

Open a PR to the greencio repository. Maintainers review and integrate accepted skills.
