This file is the install gate. It lists the external
skill sources this project trusts and
pins. Per PRINCIPLES.md §13,
/magpie-setup fetches a source only if it is listed here — an
organization curating a source, or the registry listing one, never triggers
an install on its own. Committing this file is the adopter's explicit act of
vouching for each source.
Leave the list empty (the default) to run only in-tree framework skills.
Trusted sources
Each entry is a source descriptor.
You may reference a source your organization curated in
organizations/<org>/skill-sources.md by id alone (the descriptor is
inherited), or declare a full descriptor here for a source your org does
not curate. Either way the pin — method + url + ref + the per-method
verification anchor — must be committed.
# Reference an org-curated source by id (descriptor inherited from
# organizations/<org>/skill-sources.md), still pinning the ref you trust:
# - id: <org-curated-source-id>
# ref: <tag | version>
# commit: <SHA> # git-tag anchor (or sha512: <hash> for svn-zip)
# ...or trust a source your organization does not curate, in full:
# - id: <source-id>
# organization: <org> # must name a directory under organizations/
# name: "<human-readable name>"
# maintainer: "<who>"
# method: <git-tag | git-branch | svn-zip>
# url: <repo or archive URL>
# ref: <tag | branch | version>
# commit: <SHA> # git-tag; or sha512: <hash> for svn-zip
# layout:
# skills_root: skills
# evals_root: tools/skill-evals/evals
# provides:
# - skill: <name>
# - family: <prefix>-*
git-branch (branch-tip tracking, no cryptographic anchor) is WIP-only —
prefer git-tag or svn-zip for anything you depend on, exactly as for the
framework snapshot pin in .apache-magpie.lock.
Selecting what to pull
Running /magpie-setup skill-sources (or the source pass folded into
/magpie-setup adoption) reads this file, fetches + verifies each trusted
source into the gitignored .apache-magpie-sources/<id>/, writes the
committed .apache-magpie.sources.lock
pin, and symlinks in the provides skills exactly like framework-family
skills. From then on each pulled skill behaves like an in-tree one — same
magpie- relay, same override layer under .apache-magpie-overrides/, same
eval binding.
