Running Urbit OS
Use this as the thin entrypoint for runtime and operational questions about Urbit OS.
This file should stay short. Add long-form operational material under references/ and read it only when it is relevant.
Scope
- installing and booting ships
- pier lifecycle, backups, and upgrades
- networking, keys, and operational troubleshooting
- desk management and runtime administration
Dependencies and canonical sources
https://developers.urbit.org/
https://github.com/urbit/urbit
- release notes and operational docs for the runtime being used
Working rules
- Separate runtime and operations guidance from identity and app guidance.
- Prefer documented operational procedures over ad hoc shell folklore.
- Put long-form walkthroughs in
references/, not here.
- Keep contributions narrow and auditable.
Reference index
Contribution pattern
Add focused markdown references under references/ and list them here. Do not create nested SKILL.md files for subtopics.
