Overview
We built the Ota skill because too much "AI repo automation" is still fake confidence.
An agent clones a repo, finds a plausible command, edits the right file, and looks smart right up until it does something expensive and stupid. It runs the wrong test path. It installs tools globally because local setup was unclear. It patches around a missing service as if the repo were healthy.
That failure is usually blamed on the model. Most of the time it is a repo problem. The repository never made its real operating path explicit enough for the agent to follow without guessing.
Ota already gives the repo a machine-readable contract through ota.yaml. The skill exists to teach agents how to behave around that contract: what to trust, what to run, and when to stop instead of improvising.
