ov-resources
Search and read documents, repos, URLs, and other resources stored in OpenViking under viking://resources/. Use whenever the user asks about docs, specs, codebases, papers, or notes that were added to OpenViking ("check the docs", "what does our design doc say", "find it in OpenViking"), or when a task needs reference material this session does not have. Covers picking between find, grep, glob, and list, and drilling from a hit down to the exact file.

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/volcengine/openviking --skill ov-resources- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads ov-resources automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
OpenViking Resources
Resources are documents a user added to OpenViking (files, repos, URLs).
They live in a file tree under viking://resources/ (and sometimes
viking://user/<id>/resources/ for user-private ones). Each directory has two
summaries next to its files:
.abstract.md— one paragraph: what the directory holds (L0).overview.md— a structured overview of its contents (L1)
Read summaries first and open full files last. The summaries exist so you can decide where to look without reading everything.
Pick the tool
| You know… | Use |
|---|---|
| roughly what it is about | find(query, target_uri="viking://resources") |
| an exact word, name, or error string | grep(uri, pattern=[...]) |
| a file name or extension | glob(pattern, uri) e.g. **/*.pdf |
| where it is | list(uri) and read(uris) |
Default to find. Scope it with target_uri as soon as you know which
resource you are in — narrower scopes give better hits. Use search instead
of find only when the question is vague and needs intent analysis.
Drill down
findreturns URIs with a score. A hit on<dir>/.abstract.mdmeans the whole directory matched, not that the answer is in the abstract.readthat directory's.overview.mdto see what is inside.listthe directory, or run a scopedfind/grepinside it, to reach the specific file.readthe file. For long files,grepfirst and thenreadwithoffset/limitaround the match.
Stop as soon as you have what the task needs. Two or three targeted reads beat ten broad ones.
Tips
- If
findreturns nothing useful,list viking://resourcesto see what exists, then search inside the closest directory. - Low scores (under ~0.4) are usually noise; rephrase with the domain's
own terms rather than raising
limit. - Cite the
viking://URI of what you used so the user can open it. - To add a new resource, use
add_resourcewith the file path or URL; do not copy its text in withwrite.

ov-experience-memory
volcengine/openviking
Retrieve and apply OpenViking Experience memories through the Agent runtime's generic OpenViking search and read tools. Use before or during executable, multi-step, or tool-based work such as coding, file or data changes, configuration, deployment, workflow execution, and failure recovery when prior operational guidance could improve reliability. Do not use for casual chat or simple factual questions.
openviking-memory
volcengine/openviking
Recall and persist long-term memory through the OpenViking MCP tools. Use at the start of any substantive task (coding, configuration, debugging, multi-step or tool-based work) to retrieve relevant prior knowledge with find/search/read, and during or after work to persist durable facts, preferences, decisions, and lessons with remember. Do not use for casual chat or simple factual questions the model can answer directly.
