Agent Skills

Orbit ships seven Agent Skills that teach an AI client how to work well in your wiki — how to format notes, edit safely, and maintain knowledge over time.

Skills complement the MCP connector: MCP grants permission-aware access to your notes, skills teach the client what good Orbit work looks like. Skills grant no access by themselves.

Install the skills

Run the installer for your client:

# Claude Code (installs into the current project's ./.claude/skills)
npx -y @orbit/skills install claude-code

# Claude app — Chat (user-level skills)
npx -y @orbit/skills install claude-chat

# Claude app — Cowork (user-level skills)
npx -y @orbit/skills install claude-cowork

# Codex CLI
npx -y @orbit/skills install codex

# OpenCode
npx -y @orbit/skills install opencode

# Any other skills directory
npx -y @orbit/skills install --target ./agent-skills

Restart your AI client after installing. The user-level targets install into your Claude skills directory (~/.claude/skills on macOS and Linux, the .claude\skills folder in your Windows home directory).

Know the seven skills

Skill	Use it for
`orbit-markdown`	Creating and editing notes with wiki links, frontmatter, callouts, citations, diagrams, math, and clean headings.
`orbit-safe-edits`	Making safe MCP writes with confirmation, section hashes, exact patches, and retry discipline.
`orbit-query-wiki`	Answering questions from your workspaces with citations and no writes by default.
`orbit-wiki-lint`	Finding unresolved links, stale pages, duplicate concepts, missing citations, and contradictions.
`orbit-meeting-notes`	Summarising a transcript or raw notes and adding the result to a note as Orbit’s native meeting block, transcript included.
`orbit-source-ingest`	Turning source notes, transcripts, and research into cited wiki updates or candidate pages.
`orbit-ai-ready-wiki`	Setting up a workspace for AI-assisted maintenance with Sources, Candidates, and knowledge-index conventions.

Clients pick the right skill automatically from your request — you never invoke one by name.

Keep the safety model in mind

Skills teach conventions; the MCP connector and your Microsoft 365 permissions decide access.
The skills direct all writes through Orbit’s MCP tools, so live collaborative editors stay in sync.
Notes deleted through MCP go to Recently Deleted and are restorable.
