Five origins are merged, nearest winning a name, so a skill listed here is the one that will actually load; the ones a nearer rung shadows are simply absent. The bodies are never here: progressive disclosure means a catalogue carries names, and expandSkill is what reads one. Notices carries whatever the loaders complained about while reading — a package skill something nearer displaces, a file with no description — for a client to show once. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /en/openapi/v3-current/narya.yaml get /v1/skills openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Narya Host API version: 1.0.0 description: >- The contract between the Narya host and every client. One long-lived host runs on your machine and serves this API over a Unix socket in your Narya home. Narya creates the socket owner-only, and file permissions are the whole authorization. There is no password, no token and no TLS. The terminal client and the one-shot command that Lerian ships drive this API, and a client you write drives the same one. Results never arrive on the response of the request that caused them. Submitting a message returns 202 with a turn id. Everything the turn produces streams over GET /v1/events as server-sent events with a typed envelope, and a stream resumes from a Last-Event-ID header. One error envelope: code, title, message, and fields on 422. Codes are NRY- followed by four digits. A paged list answers items, limit and a nextCursor when more remains. Cursors are opaque. servers: [] security: [] tags: - name: host description: The host process itself — version, uptime, mode, store. - name: sessions description: Durable conversation containers.

Scoped to this listing: what the command loaders complained about arrives with listCommands, so a caller walking both receives each complaint once.
