How do I install the Ov Resources skill?

Run npx skillmds add volcengine/ov-resources in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Ov Resources safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: docs only. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Ov Resources?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Ov Resources free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Ov Resources

Load when an agent needs to add, manage, browse, search, modify, or remove resources in OpenViking. Trigger on explicit user requests about resource management or context search, when the user mentions `ov add-resource`, `ov task watch`, `ov export`, `ov import`, `ov backup`, `ov restore`, `ov ls`, `ov tree`, `ov read`, `ov write`, `ov mkdir`, `ov rm`, `ov mv`, `ov find`, `ov search`, `ov grep`, `ov glob`, or when an agent needs to inspect, search, or organize the `viking://resources/` namespace.

OpenViking (OV) Resource Management

The ov command group for resources covers adding external knowledge, filesystem operations, scheduled refresh (watch tasks), and ovpack import/export/backup/restore.

Goal

Guide an agent to correctly invoke resource and filesystem commands without guessing flags, URI semantics, or processing behavior.

Load When

User explicitly requests resource operations: ov add-resource, ov task watch, ov export, ov import, ov backup, ov restore.
User asks to browse, read, write, create, move, or delete files under viking://resources/.
User asks to search for context: ov find, ov search, ov grep, ov glob.
Agent needs to list, inspect, or search the resource tree to find context.

Inputs

Name	Required	Description
`subcommand`	yes	Resource command: `add-resource`, `task watch`, `export`, `import`, `backup`, `restore`, filesystem command: `ls`, `tree`, `read`, `write`, `mkdir`, `rm`, `mv`, `grep`, `glob`, or search command: `find`, `search`
`target`	conditional	File path, URL, Viking URI, or query string
`flags`	no	Command-specific flags like `--wait`, `--to`, `--parent`, `--recursive`, `--watch-interval`

Workflow

Identify the user's intent and map to the correct ov <subcommand>.
Resolve the target (local path, URL, or Viking URI).
Construct the command with appropriate flags.
Execute and report results.

Permissions

ov add-resource from external URLs may download untrusted content; verify the source when the user provides an untrusted URL.
ov rm --recursive is destructive; confirm with the user before executing on large directories.
ov export, ov import, ov backup, ov restore require ROOT or ADMIN permissions.
ov write replaces file content in-place; the old version is not retained.

Output

CLI output returned directly to the user.
Errors surfaced with suggested fixes and relevant flag guidance.

Verification

After add-resource, ov ls or ov tree should show the new resource under the expected URI.
After rm, ov ls should no longer list the removed path.
After write, ov read should reflect the new content.
After ov import or ov restore, ov tree should show the imported structure.

Boundaries

Do not invent paths or URLs. Use what the user provides.
Do not execute ov rm --recursive on broad paths like viking://resources/ without explicit user confirmation.
Do not treat ov add-skill or ov skills as equivalent to resource commands; skill management is handled by ov-skills.
Do not treat ov add-memory as a resource command; memory management is out of scope for this skill.
