openrig-skills skillA

openrig-skills is agent-read markdown (skill) from mvschwarz/openrig: Use when you're operating OpenRig and need the right skill or context for fleet recovery, seat handover, new-seat orientation, a watchdog wake, cross-host reach to an agent on another machine, rig packaging, an OpenRig upgrade, systematic debugging, queue triage, or implementation planning; also use when you don't know what applies or nothing is projected on cold boot..

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

# OpenRig skills — the index (start here)

You're running inside OpenRig. OpenRig ships a set of **skills** — small documents that tell you *when* to do something and *how*. This file is the map: what ships, when to reach for each, and how to load it. If you don't know which skill applies, or nothing is projected into your context, **start here.**

## How OpenRig context works (30 seconds)

Skills are **progressive disclosure**: a skill's *name + description* sit in your context ambiently (the "hot tier"); its *body* loads only when you open it. So you don't pre-read everything — you pattern-match a skill's "when" to your moment, then open just that one. This file is the index over the whole shipped set. (For bounded procedures, open `agent-operated-workflows`; for ongoing agent-backed applications, open `agent-operated-software`.)

Every row below names **how to reach the skill** — already-hot, or an exact load path. No row is a dead end.

## Loading an entry on demand — `rig context get`

Don't guess a file path or a name. Go **ask → ref → load** in three steps:

1. **Discover** — run `rig context list` for every shipped entry's **ref** and name. The *when* for

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
