Owns
SkillPackage, SkillBinding, SkillTrustPolicy- multi-source discovery and source priority
.agents/skills, .claude/skills, .forge/skills compatibility- trust gates and include-untrusted introspection
- skill roster rendering into planning
- full
SKILL.md injection into subtask prompts
- skill-use stream parsing and events
- skill list/trace CLI behavior when paired with
orcho-core-cli-ux
Does Not Own
- generic prompt rendering/cache ->
orcho-prompt-engine
- public SDK/MCP shape ->
orcho-core-sdk-wire
- MCP handler implementation ->
orcho-mcp
- general CLI formatting ->
orcho-core-cli-ux
Invariants
- Skills provide instructions, not runtime/model/provider selection.
- Project and compat skills are trust-gated by default.
- Discovery must preserve deterministic priority and shadowing diagnostics.
- Full skill bodies should not leak into durable evidence by default.
- Resource bodies are loaded only on demand.
Verification
python -m pytest -q orcho-core/tests/unit/pipeline/skillspython -m pytest -q orcho-core/tests/unit/agents/test_skill_registry.py- CLI skill tests when commands change
- MCP skill-list tests when exposed through MCP
