Clone

Clone OSDU GitLab repositories and infrastructure repos to the workspace. Supports single service, category, or all repos with bare-clone worktree or standard git clone. Use when the user asks to clone an OSDU repo, set up the workspace, download source code for a service, or clone infrastructure repos. Not for: building or testing cloned repos (use maven or acceptance-test), or checking repo status (use glab or osdu-activity).

OSDU Clone

Execute directly. Do NOT delegate to an agent or sub-agent.

Step 1: Resolve the clone target

Parse the user's request to determine which repos to clone.

Valid targets

Target	What it clones
`partition`	Single repo by name
`os-core-common`	Single repo by name
`core`	All repos in the core category
`libraries`	All repos in the libraries category
`service:partition`	Explicit single repo
`category:core`	Explicit category
`all`	Everything

Category	Repos
infra	cimpl-azure-provisioning
libraries	os-core-common, os-core-lib-azure
core	partition, entitlements, legal, secret, schema-service, storage, file, indexer-service, indexer-queue, search-service, dataset, register, notification
reference	crs-catalog-service, crs-conversion-service, unit-service
ingestion	ingestion-workflow
domain	wellbore-domain-services, seismic-store-service

Step 2: Construct the clone URL

Base: https://community.opengroup.org

Pattern	GitLab path
infra	`osdu/platform/deployment-and-operations/cimpl-azure-provisioning`
system services	`osdu/platform/system/{service}`
security services	`osdu/platform/security-and-compliance/{service}`
reference services	`osdu/platform/system/reference/{service}`
os-core-common	`osdu/platform/system/lib/core/os-core-common`
os-core-lib-azure	`osdu/platform/system/lib/cloud/azure/os-core-lib-azure`
wellbore-domain-services	`osdu/platform/domain-data-mgmt-services/wellbore/wellbore-domain-services`
seismic-store-service	`osdu/platform/domain-data-mgmt-services/seismic/seismic-dms-suite/seismic-store-service`
ingestion-workflow	`osdu/platform/data-flow/ingestion/ingestion-workflow`

Construct the full URL: https://community.opengroup.org/{path}.git

For categories, construct a URL for each repo in the category.

Step 3: Run the clone script

The clone script is bundled with this skill. Find and run it once per repo:

CLONE_SCRIPT=$(find ~/.claude/plugins -path "*/skills/clone/clone.py" -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1)
uv run "$CLONE_SCRIPT" <URL> [<name>]

The script handles everything automatically:

Workspace resolution ($OSDU_WORKSPACE or cwd)
wt / git-wt detection (bare clone + worktree if available, standard clone otherwise)
Clone execution with skip/fail handling
Result reporting

After Execution

Report to the user:

Which repos were cloned, skipped, or failed
The clone method used (worktree or standard)

For worktree clones, show the layout:

<repo>/
  .bare/       ← bare clone
  .git         ← pointer file
  <branch>/    ← worktree (ready to work in)

Working in Cloned Repos

With worktrunk (wt):

wt switch --create feature/xxx --base master — create feature branch worktree

Without worktrunk:

git checkout -b feature/xxx — create feature branch
Standard git workflow
