Omarchy

Omarchy Skill

Manage Omarchy Linux systems using natural language.

⛔ NEVER MODIFY CORE FILES

DO NOT edit, write, or delete any files in ~/.local/share/omarchy/

This directory contains Omarchy's core system files. User configuration belongs in ~/.config/ instead.

If you need to change behavior controlled by a file in ~/.local/share/omarchy/, find or create the corresponding override in ~/.config/.

Discovery

Omarchy provides ~145 commands following the pattern omarchy-<category>-<action>.

Find Commands

# List all omarchy commands
compgen -c | grep -E '^omarchy-' | sort -u

# Find commands by category
compgen -c | grep -E '^omarchy-theme'
compgen -c | grep -E '^omarchy-restart'

# Read a command's source to understand it
cat $(which omarchy-theme-set)

Omarchy Data

~/.local/share/omarchy/
├── bin/               # All omarchy-* scripts
├── config/            # Default config templates
├── themes/            # Installed themes
└── version            # Current version info

Safe Editing Pattern

When modifying any Omarchy config:

1. Read Current Config

cat ~/.config/<app>/config

2. Backup Before Changes

cp ~/.config/<app>/config ~/.config/<app>/config.bak.$(date +%s)

3. Make Changes

Use the Edit tool. Preserve existing structure and comments.

4. Apply Changes

# For most apps, use the restart command
omarchy-restart-<app>

# Or reset to defaults (creates backup automatically)
omarchy-refresh-<app>

5. Explain What You Did

After completing changes, include a Learn More section to help the user understand what happened:

> **Learn More**
>
> [Explain what file(s) were modified or commands were run]
> [Explain why these changes achieve the user's goal]
> [Explain key config options that were set and what they control]

Example:

Learn More

Modified ~/.config/hypr/looknfeel.conf to change window gaps. The gaps_in setting controls space between adjacent windows (set to 5px). The gaps_out setting controls space between windows and screen edges (set to 10px).
