Authors and interprets Open Animation Replacer (OAR) configs against the OAR 3.0.0 schema — config.json / user.json conditions, submod priorities, DAR _conditions.txt conversion. Load before composing or judging any condition, priority or DAR folder — OAR picks winners by priority, not load order, and a wrong token no-ops. Use when gating animations by weapon, keyword, perk, or race, editing or auditing an OAR config, or asking why an animation isn't playing or which submod wins. Not for .hkx…

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

# Open Animation Replacer

## What this skill does

Open Animation Replacer (OAR) replaces animations **at runtime, by condition**. A submod is one
`config.json` carrying a `priority` integer, a `conditions` array, and the `.hkx` files it swaps in.
OAR also reads Dynamic Animation Replacer's legacy folders directly, so a load order mixes both and
they compete in one priority space. Authoring means writing `config.json` / `user.json`, condition
sets, priorities, and converting a legacy DAR `_conditions.txt`; interpreting means answering "what
does this do", "which submod wins", or "why isn't this animation playing".

**Not this skill.** `.hkx` animation assets, and Nemesis / FNIS / Pandora behaviour files — OAR is
runtime and needs no behaviour regeneration for its own replacements. A change that belongs in a
record goes to `housecarl:skypatcher-authoring` (item, NPC and leveled-list properties) or
`housecarl:spid-authoring` (spells, perks, items and keywords onto NPCs).

The full schema, the ~120-condition roster and the DAR grammar are in
`references/oar-config-reference.md`; pull a value from there rather than from memory or a web

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add avick3110/housecarl/open-animation-replacer@sha256:04d343c1f3620f28

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.2a4250f, 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.
