What it does

Project is an agent skill from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli. Clone and track external repos. Use when user shares a GitHub URL to study or develop, or says "search repos", "find repo", "where is [project]". For active development, use /incubate.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts (for example `project-manager.md`, `scripts/create.ts` and `scripts/history.ts`).

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Install Oracle skills to Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and 12+ AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User shares a GitHub URL to study
  • Says search repos
  • Where is [project]

Example prompts

  • “search repos”
  • “find repo”
  • “where is [project]”
  • “/project”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9feea09. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 11 files in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Project loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

project-manager

Track and manage external repos: Learn (study) | Incubate (develop)

Golden Rule

ghq owns the clone → ψ/ owns the symlink

Never copy. Always symlink. One source of truth.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • User shares a GitHub URL and wants to study/clone it
  • User mentions wanting to learn from a codebase
  • User wants to start developing on an external repo
  • Need to find where a previously cloned project lives

Step 0 — Anchor (date-stamp + root)

bash
date "+🕐 %H:%M %Z (%A %d %B %Y)"

# Find oracle root — git toplevel that has CLAUDE.md + ψ/
ORACLE_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$ORACLE_ROOT" ] && [ -f "$ORACLE_ROOT/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ] || [ -L "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ]; }; then
  PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
elif [ -f "$(pwd)/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$(pwd)/ψ" ] || [ -L "$(pwd)/ψ" ]; }; then
  ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)"
  PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
else
  echo "⚠️ Not in oracle repo (no CLAUDE.md + ψ/ at git root). Writing to pwd."
  ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)"
  PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
fi

Actions

learn [url|slug]

Clone repo for study (read-only reference).

bash
# 1. Clone via ghq
ghq get -u https://github.com/owner/repo

# 2. Create org/repo symlink structure
GHQ_ROOT=$(ghq root)
mkdir -p "$PSI/learn/owner"
ln -sf "$GHQ_ROOT/github.com/owner/repo" "$PSI/learn/owner/repo"

Output (announce-mode — absolute path):

announce-mode → absolute path (no ψ/, no ~/, no $VAR, no ...).

Use: echo "marker: $RESOLVED_PATH" — bash substitutes. See CONVENTIONS.md.

bash
LINK="$PSI/learn/owner/repo"
echo "✅ Linked: $LINK"
incubate — REDIRECTS TO /incubate

/project incubate is now /incubate. If the user says /project incubate [args], run /incubate [args] instead. Do NOT execute incubate logic here — invoke the standalone /incubate skill with the same arguments.

find [query]

Search for project across all locations:

bash
# Search ghq repos
ghq list | grep -i "query"

# Search learn/incubate symlinks (org/repo structure)
find "$PSI/learn" "$PSI/incubate" -type l 2>/dev/null | grep -i "query"

Output: List matches with their ghq paths

list

Show all tracked projects with rich metadata (#227):

bash
echo "📦 Projects"
echo ""

# Collect all tracked repos (learn + incubate symlinks)
REPOS=()
for link in $(find "$PSI/learn" "$PSI/incubate" -name "origin" -type l 2>/dev/null | sort); do
  dir=$(dirname "$link")
  owner=$(basename "$(dirname "$dir")")
  repo=$(basename "$dir")
  type="learn"
  echo "$link" | grep -q "incubate" && type="incubate"
  REPOS+=("$owner/$repo:$type")
done

if [ ${#REPOS[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "  No tracked projects. Use /learn or /incubate to add."
else
  printf "  %-35s %-6s %-8s %-8s %s\n" "Repo" "Stars" "License" "Type" "Description"
  printf "  %-35s %-6s %-8s %-8s %s\n" "───────────────────────────────────" "──────" "────────" "────────" "──────────────────────"

  for entry in "${REPOS[@]}"; do
    slug="${entry%%:*}"
    type="${entry##*:}"
    # Fetch metadata from GitHub (cached per session)
    meta=$(gh api "repos/$slug" --jq '"\(.stargazers_count)\t\(.license.spdx_id // "none")\t\(.description // "-" | .[0:40])"' 2>/dev/null || echo "?\tnone\t-")
    stars=$(echo "$meta" | cut -f1)
    license=$(echo "$meta" | cut -f2)
    desc=$(echo "$meta" | cut -f3)
    printf "  %-35s %-6s %-8s %-8s %s\n" "$slug" "⭐$stars" "$license" "$type" "$desc"
  done
fi

echo ""
echo "  Total: ${#REPOS[@]} tracked repos"

Directory Structure

ψ/
├── learn/owner/repo     → ~/Code/github.com/owner/repo  (symlink)
└── incubate/owner/repo  → ~/Code/github.com/owner/repo  (symlink)

~/Code/               ← ghq root (source of truth)
└── github.com/owner/repo/  (actual clone)

Health Check

When listing, verify symlinks are valid:

bash
# Check for broken symlinks
find "$PSI/learn" "$PSI/incubate" -type l ! -exec test -e {} \; -print 2>/dev/null

If broken: ghq get -u [url] to restore source.

Examples

# User shares URL to study
User: "I want to learn from https://github.com/SawyerHood/dev-browser"
→ ghq get -u https://github.com/SawyerHood/dev-browser
→ mkdir -p ψ/learn/SawyerHood
→ ln -sf ~/Code/github.com/SawyerHood/dev-browser ψ/learn/SawyerHood/dev-browser

# User wants to develop → redirect to /incubate
User: "I want to work on claude-mem"
→ /incubate https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem

# User says "/project incubate" → redirect to /incubate
User: "/project incubate https://github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3 --contribute"
→ /incubate https://github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-v3 --contribute

Anti-Patterns

❌ Wrong✅ Right
git clone directly to ψ/ghq get then symlink
Flat: ψ/learn/repo-nameOrg structure: ψ/learn/owner/repo
Copy filesSymlink always
Manual clone outside ghqEverything through ghq

Quick Reference

bash
# Add to learn
ghq get -u URL && mkdir -p "$PSI/learn/owner" && ln -sf "$(ghq root)/github.com/owner/repo" "$PSI/learn/owner/repo"

# Incubate (use standalone /incubate skill)
/incubate URL [--flash | --contribute | --status | --offload]

# Update source
ghq get -u URL

# Find repo
ghq list | grep name

Can I use Project in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli --skill project -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/project, .gemini/skills/project, .github/skills/project and .opencode/skills/project in your project.

What does Project need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Project needs TypeScript for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (git and gh). Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Project access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: github.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Project safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Project use?

Project is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Project use?

About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
