Frank 651924a4bc docs(skills): collapse three overlapping skills trees into one verified tree
Three parallel trees documented the same ecosystem: omp-docs/skills/
(two overview pages), tools/npx-skills/ (10 pi-era npm pages), and
tools/vercel-labs-skills/ (11 CLI pages), plus a fourth leaderboard page
at engineering/skills-ecosystem.md. Verbatim overlap (identical SKILL.md
field tables in skills-spec.md vs skill-format.md; 13-agent vs 68-agent
copies of the same upstream table). Consolidated to four concept pages:

- skills/agent-skills.md: standard, format, loading, authoring (merges
  skills-spec, skill-format, skill-file-structure, skill-loading,
  best-practices, skills-vs-extensions)
- skills/skills-cli.md: CLI reference (merges commands, source-formats,
  installation-scope, skill-discovery, lock-file, env-variables,
  agent-support, related-links)
- skills/store-wiring.md: moved, fleet ops, links retargeted
- skills/ecosystem.md: replaces skills-ecosystem.md; stale 2026-08-12
  top-50 table dropped, replaced with a live top-10 re-queried from the
  skills.sh API tonight and the API contract re-verified (zero-based,
  200/page, {skills,total,hasMore,page}, total 9909)

All facts re-verified 2026-10-19 against primary sources:
agentskills.io, vercel-labs/skills README + src/cli.ts (command set,
--full-depth) + src/skill-lock.ts (v3 lock, XDG path, wipe-on-old),
live skills.sh API. Deleted superseded core/index-doc.md (old pi-era
docs index). Retargeted all inbound links (tools/index, engineering x3,
packages x3, pi/skills, core/index). Pi-era npm skill packaging is
listed as archived under /pi/.

reference Screenshot Matrix Screenshot setup on blankpad — flameshot retired (all modes hang via portal on 2+ outputs, niri#4313); niri-native binds: all-monitors script, focused-screen capture, interactive UI. Includes the niri spawn-sh PATH trap.

Screenshot Matrix

Flameshot is retired on this box (2026-10-14). Every flameshot mode on Wayland captures through xdg-desktop-portal → xdg-desktop-portal-gnome → niri's GNOME-Screenshot compatibility API, which is hard-limited to one output. All binds are niri-native now.

Live binds

Bind Action Output
Print / Ctrl+Shift+1 / Mod+Shift+S screenshot-desk.sh — one PNG per monitor ~/Pictures/Screenshots/Screenshot from … <connector>.png
Alt+Print / Ctrl+Shift+2 screenshot-screen — focused monitor same dir (niri screenshot-path) + clipboard
Ctrl+Print / Ctrl+Shift+3 screenshot UI — interactive region/window/screen, Space saves, Esc cancels same dir + clipboard; single-output selection by design

Noctalia settings lives on Mod+Shift+O (moved off Mod+Shift+S).

Why flameshot died (and not just full)

  • Portal chain: flameshot 14 → xdg-desktop-portal-gnome → niri D-Bus API → screenshot_all_outputs → ensure!(outputs.len() == 1) (FIXME upstream).
  • flameshot full on 2 outputs: each press emits 3 refusals (composited screen + per-output) — WARN niri::niri: error taking a screenshot: Condition failed: outputs.len() == 1 (2 vs 1) in journalctl --user -u niri; bubbles arrive after the portal round-trip ("bunch of errors after a delay").
  • flameshot screen is NOT exempt: live test docked, 2026-10-14 — flameshot full and flameshot screen both hang ~15 s, exit 124 under timeout, no file written.
  • Upstream: niri#4313 (closed duplicate, unfixed in 26.04/8ed0da4), flameshot#4449.
  • Portable desk (1 output): flameshot would work again — that is the portal's only supported shape.

The all-monitor path: scripts/screenshot-desk.sh

  • Per active output (niri msg --json outputs): focus-monitor → screenshot-screen --path (absolute) → restore prior focus.
  • All niri-native; no grim, no portal. SCREENSHOT_DIR overrides the output dir.

The spawn-sh PATH trap (why "it works in the shell" lies)

niri's environment PATH is the system path — ~/.local/bin is absent (tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pidof niri | awk '{print $1}')/environ). spawn-sh "some-user-script" fails silently. Rules:

  • Keybinds use absolute script paths (/home/blank/.omp/scripts/…). Applies to desk.sh too — its bare bind was dead for the same reason.
  • A bare script name in a keybind is a bug on this box.

Census commands

niri msg outputs                                     # how many outputs live
journalctl --user -u niri --since today | grep -i screenshot   # WARN vs DEBUG saves
tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pgrep -x niri | head -1)/environ | grep ^PATH   # spawn-sh environment
