name: os-dev-knowledge-skill description: > Skill providing structured knowledge about OS 7.0 / Claude Code configuration patterns, safety constraints, and common orchestration pitfalls. Intended for os-dev-grand-architect, os-dev-architect, and OS-Dev specialists. LOCAL to ORCA-OS repo only.

OS-Dev Knowledge Skill – OS 7.0 Configuration & Safety

NOTE: This skill is LOCAL to ORCA-OS repo only.

This skill captures key knowledge for working on OS 7.0 / Claude Code config: lanes, commands, agents, skills, MCPs, hooks, and memory integration.

Use this skill when:

  • Planning changes to orchestration lanes or phase configs.
  • Adding or modifying commands/agents/skills for OS 7.0.
  • Configuring MCPs, hooks, or memory behavior that affect all lanes.

Configuration Surfaces

  • Lanes and pipelines:
    • docs/pipelines/*.md
    • docs/reference/phase-configs/*.yaml
  • Agents and commands:
    • agents/*.md, agents/dev/*.md
    • commands/*.md
  • Skills and MCPs:
    • skills/*/SKILL.md
    • mcp/* (MCP configs, server docs)
  • Memory and orchestration:
    • .claude/memory/ (Workshop + code-index.db)
    • .claude/orchestration/ (phase_state, evidence, playbooks)

Core Principles

  1. Orchestrators never implement
    • /orca-* and *-grand-architect agents only coordinate.
  2. Specs before complex changes
    • Requirements specs in .claude/requirements/<id> are required for complex, global changes.
  3. Memory-first
    • Workshop and code-index.db should be queried before expensive context.
  4. Safety over convenience
    • Never default to dangerous flags or uncontrolled hooks.
  5. Edit-not-rewrite
    • Minimal diffs in config files; respect existing patterns where safe.

Common Pitfalls

  • Introducing CLI flags (like --dangerously-skip-permissions) as defaults.
  • Adding hooks that run on every session and execute arbitrary shell commands.
  • Scattering temporary logs and config fragments outside .claude/.
  • Using YAML arrays for tools: in agents, causing silent tool failures.

Best Practices

  • Keep OS-Dev agents and commands lightweight:
    • Focused scopes, minimal tool lists, clearly documented behaviors.
  • Treat standards as evolving:
    • When recurring problems are found, codify them in OS-Dev standards and enforce via gates.
  • Integrate Response Awareness:
    • Use RA tags to document assumptions and path choices, especially around safety and global behavior.

Agents and orchestrators should reference this skill when reasoning about OS-Dev changes to stay aligned with the overall OS 7.0 design philosophy.
