openviking-skills skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 5 copies on public GitHub. Same content hash, same audit grade.
openviking-skills is agent-read markdown (skill) from volcengine/openviking: Find, use, create, install, share, update, and migrate agent skills stored in OpenViking (viking://~/skills and viking://agent/skills). Use it when a search result, or the session's <available-skills> list where the harness injects one, names a skill that fits the task; when a task looks like one a stored skill would cover; when the user asks to write, save, install, or share a skill from text, a Git repository, or a local folder; when a skill should work in every harness and on every machine; o.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# OpenViking Skills OpenViking stores skills as data, the same way it stores memories, so a skill saved there reaches every harness and machine connected to the same account. Each skill is a directory holding `SKILL.md` plus optional helper files (`scripts/`, `references/`, ...): - `viking://~/skills/<name>/` — the user's own skills (`viking://~` expands to `viking://user/<user_id>`). - `viking://agent/skills/<name>/` — skills shared with the whole account. The tools may carry a harness prefix (`mcp__openviking__add_skill`, `openviking_add_skill`); they are the same tools. `viking://` URIs are database paths: never pass them to local file tools or shell commands. ## Find a skill 1. `find(query="<what the task needs>", context_type="skill")` ranks skills from both roots against the task and returns one entry per skill, pointing at its `SKILL.md`. This works in every harness; start here. 2. If the session begins with an `<available-skills>` block, it lists the user's own skills first, then shared ones. Not every harness injects one, and it is a snapshot from session start that drops descriptions or ends …

Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
