# omp Skill Store Wiring

omp is NOT a registered agent in the `skills` CLI (79-agent registry checked in
`dist/cli.mjs` 2026-10-18; see [Agent Support](/tools/vercel-labs-skills/agent-support.md)),
so `skills add` never writes to `~/.omp/agent/skills/` on its own. The wiring is
manual, retrofitted 2026-10-18:

- **Canonical store:** `~/.agents/skills/<name>/` — real files, written by
  `npx skills add <owner>/<repo> --all -g` (universal agent, global scope).
- **Provenance:** `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json` (store lockfile, version 3): per
  skill `source` (e.g. `mattpocock/skills`, `vercel-labs/skills`), `skillPath`,
  `skillFolderHash`, timestamps. 39 entries as of 2026-10-18: 38 from
  `mattpocock/skills`, `find-skills` from `vercel-labs/skills`.
- **omp tier:** every entry in `agent/skills/` (this repo) is a **symlink** to
  `~/.agents/skills/<name>` — 39 links. `manage_skill` writes real dirs into the
  separate tier `agent/managed-skills/`; that tier is untouched by this scheme.

## Consequences

- `skills update -g` refreshes every skill for omp through the links; the repo
  records only the link set (which skills are enabled), never content.
- A fresh workstation needs two steps: `npx skills add mattpocock/skills --all -g`
  (+ `find-skills` from `vercel-labs/skills`), then re-create the symlinks;
  `git pull` alone yields dangling links until the store exists.
- `skills ls` from a repo whose layout contains `agent/skills` mislabels those
  links as Eve project skills (path collision with Eve's `agent/skills` dir);
  harmless attribution noise.
