# omp Skill Store Wiring

Three tiers, one owner each:

| Tier | Path | Owner | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canonical store | `~/.agents/skills/` | `skills` CLI | upstream skills, 38 as of 2026-10-18 (all `mattpocock/skills`) |
| Provenance | `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json` | `skills` CLI | v3 lockfile: `source`, `skillPath`, `skillFolderHash` per skill |
| Authored | `agent/skills/` (this repo) | Frank, via PR | hand-customized overrides; today only `grilling` |

## How omp loads them

omp is NOT a registered agent in the `skills` CLI (79-agent registry checked
2026-10-18; see [Skills CLI](/skills/skills-cli.md)) —
`skills add` never writes anywhere under `~/.omp`. Instead omp's own `agents`
provider reads the store **directly**: `skills.enableAgentsUser` (default true)
loads `~/.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md`. No per-skill symlinks in the repo — the
repo does not mirror the store; it only holds authored overrides.

Precedence (omp `omp://skills.md`): authored `agent/skills/` (native, priority
100) beats the agents provider; identical copies collapse by realpath, differing
same-named copies survive namespaced (`agents/<name>`) with a startup warning.
Therefore: **when authoring an override, remove the skill from the store**
(`npx skills remove <name> -g`) so the lockfile stays truthful and no
namespaced twin haunts the listing. `grilling` was extracted this way 2026-10-18.

## Updating upstream skills

```bash
npx -y skills update -g            # refreshes everything the lockfile tracks
npx skills check                   # drift report vs GitHub tree SHAs
```

Fresh workstation (omp side is two commands — store restore + authored tier
arrives with the repo clone):

```bash
npx -y skills add mattpocock/skills --all -g
npx -y skills add vercel-labs/skills --skill find-skills --agent universal -g
npx -y skills remove grilling -g   # authored copy ships in the repo
```

## Managed tier

`agent/managed-skills/` (auto-learn, priority 5) is separate and untouched by
all of the above; authored skills always win name collisions against it.
