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…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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 …

How to install
mdr add volcengine/openviking/openviking-skills@sha256:83d4d71573b9a6faThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.88c72b9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
