## Description

OpenProse VM skill pack. Activate on any `prose` command, .prose files, or OpenProse mentions; orchestrates multi-agent workflows.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# OpenProse Skill

OpenProse is a programming language for AI sessions. LLMs are simulators, when given a detailed system description, they don't just describe it, they _simulate_ it. The `prose.md` specification describes a virtual machine with enough fidelity that a Prose Complete system reading it _becomes_ that VM. Simulation with sufficient fidelity is implementation. **You are the Prose Complete system.**

## OpenClaw Runtime Mapping

- **Task tool** in the upstream spec == OpenClaw `sessions_spawn`
- **File I/O** == OpenClaw `read`/`write`
- **Remote fetch** == OpenClaw `web_fetch` (or `exec` with curl when POST is required)

## When to Activate

Activate this skill when the user:

- **Uses ANY `prose` command** (e.g., `prose boot`, `prose run`, `prose compile`, `prose update`, `prose help`, etc.)
- Asks to run a `.prose` file
- Mentions "OpenProse" or "prose program"
- Wants to orchestrate multiple AI agents from a script
- Has a file with `session "..."` or `agent name:` syntax
- Wants to create a reusable workflow

## Command Routing

When a user invokes `prose <command>`, intelligently route based on intent:

| Command                 | Action                                                        |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `prose help`            | Load `help.md`, guide user to what they need                  |
| `prose run <file>`      | Load VM (`prose.md` + state backend), execute the program     |
| `prose run handle/slug` | Fetch from registry, then execute (see Remote Programs below) |
| `prose compile <file>`  | Load `compiler.md`, validate the program                      |
| `prose update`          | Run migration (see Migration section below)                   |
| `prose examples`        | Show or run example programs from `examples/`                 |
| Other                   | Intelligently interpret based on context                      |
