Ontoly Agent Skills
Ontoly Agent Skills are portable SKILL.md packages that teach coding agents how to use Ontoly before searching source files.

The skill layer contains workflow only. It does not contain compiler logic, query logic, framework logic, SDK generation, or AI reasoning. Every claim about a repository must come from Ontoly artifacts, the Query Engine, or Ontoly MCP.
LLM Enhancement is mandatory every time Ontoly is used by an LLM. Official
Skills declare ontoly.enhancement: "LLM Enhancement" and preserve the
graph-first evidence, confidence, and fallback rules in
LLM Enhancement.
Install
Prerequisites:
- Install Ontoly.
- Build a graph for the repository with
ontoly build .. - Verify the runtime can list capabilities with
ontoly mcp --list. - Use a published repository install after release, or the local
--copyflow while validating a source checkout.
pnpm add -D @0xsarwagya/ontoly-cli@rc
ontoly build .
ontoly mcp --list
ontoly mcpThen install a skill folder with an Agent Skills compatible installer. After the repository is public, a single skill can be installed with:
npx skills add 0xsarwagya/ontoly --skill architecture-reviewFor local release testing, use the repository path:
npx skills add /path/to/ontoly --skill architecture-review --copyEach installed skill is self-contained. Its reference/ directory includes the
standard workflow, graph, MCP, best-practice, fallback, and capability guidance.

Workflow
Every official installed skill points to reference/workflow.md:
- Confirm the installed workflow declares LLM Enhancement.
- Verify
.ontoly/SoftwareGraph.json. - Run
ontoly build .if the graph is missing. - Check graph trust with
ontoly coverage .. - Use Ontoly MCP.
- Invoke the task-specific capability.
- Inspect files only when Ontoly cannot answer.
- Cite node ids, relationship types, source spans, graph hash, and confidence.

Each skill declares:

- mandatory enhancement type,
LLM Enhancement - category
- deprecation status
Compatibility is validated against both source skills and installed artifacts before release.
