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.
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.
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.
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.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| texas-llc-formation | Forms a Texas LLC end to end — clearing the name, filing the Certificate of Formation on SOSDirect, obtaining the federal EIN, drafting the company agreement, and tracking the deadlines that follow. |
Nothing in this repository is legal, tax, or financial advice. These are procedural guides. Fees, thresholds, forms, and filing rules change, so verify anything consequential against the primary source, and bring in an attorney or a CPA for decisions that warrant one.
