orion-skills Is Public

Status Update · 2026-06-17 · 04:00 PM PT

Status: Active.

What changed: Open-sourced orion-skills — a collection of first-party Claude Code skills extracted from production operator workflows: a structural read-only mode, scope guarding, ship discipline, pre-PR checks, incident-as-code, learning capture, goal-prompt authoring, and pre-compact handoffs. MIT-licensed and public at https://github.com/OrionArchitekton/orion-skills.

What broke: Nothing. The skills were already running internally; this is the same set, genericized and published.

Next step: They now sit on the Works page at danmercede.com/works, with one skill published as a sample gist. Next is a short write-up on how the read-only and scope-guard rails actually enforce.
