Agent skill frommvschwarz/openrig
Use when an agent running inside OpenRig needs 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 when the agent doesn't know what applies or nothing is projected on cold boot. Installing, starting or updating OpenRig, getting back to a team or bringing a stopped one back from a person's own session is the rigs skill.

1# OpenRig skills — the index (start here)23You'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.**45## How OpenRig context works (30 seconds)67Skills 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 recommends skills from the shipped set. (For bounded procedures, open `agent-operated-workflows`; for ongoing agent-backed applications, open `agent-operated-software`.)89Every row below names **how to reach the skill** — already-hot, or an exact load path. No row is a dead end.1011## Loading an entry on demand — `rig context get`1213Don't guess a file path or a name. Go **ask → ref → load** in three steps:14151. **Discover** — run `rig context list` for every shipped entry's **ref** and name. The *when* for16 each is the index below (or `rig context list --json`, which carries each entry's purpose) — match17 your moment there.182. **Select** — match your moment to a row's *when* and take its **ref**. Refs are canonical full paths19…
