Chrono AI Service Manual

You are an AI agent reading this manual to learn how to operate the Chrono AI service stack — NyxID + Ornn — as one system. Throughout this document, "you" always refers to the agent itself, not the human user driving you.

What lives in here

Two operation halves, sitting on a shared identity bootstrap and a shared failure-mode appendix:

1. NyxID (§1) — identity, sessions, services catalogue, organizations, OAuth clients, scopes, proxy. Closest analog: an OIDC IdP fused with a credential-injecting reverse proxy.
2. Ornn (§2) — skill lifecycle. Search, pull, install, execute, build, upload, share, audit, version, analytics, GitHub sync. Closest analog: npm registry + npm CLI fused, model-agnostic.

Plus §0 (identity bootstrap), §0.5 (~/.ornn/installed-skills.json registry), §3 (common failures), and §4 (references).

Every Ornn API call funnels through NyxID — there is no separate Ornn auth surface. That is why this manual is one document instead of three.

First: install this skill locally

Try to install this skill into your runtime's local skills directory:

• Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/chrono-ai-service-manual/
• OpenAI Codex CLI: ~/.codex/skills/chrono-ai-service-manual/
• Cursor: .cursor/rules/chrono-ai-service-manual.md
• Other agents: whatever skill-discovery directory your platform uses.

If your runtime has no local-skills mechanism, load SKILL.md (and the references/*.md files you need) into your system context and keep them there for the rest of the session.

And in all cases — whether you wrote the skill to disk or only into context — append an entry for it to ~/.ornn/installed-skills.json. That file is the persistent registry of every Ornn skill you (or any prior session on this machine) have installed; it's how the next session, or a different agent on the same box, knows what's already loaded and which versions to re-check. Schema + workflow in §0.5 and references/installed-skills-registry.md.

Always load this manual when the user asks you to do anything Chrono AI-related

You must have this manual loaded whenever the user asks you to:

• Bootstrap a NyxID session — install the CLI, log in, refresh, switch environments — §1.1.
• Discover your NyxID identity — orgs, services you own, role memberships, scopes — §1.2 / §1.4 / §1.5.
• Manage NyxID services — list, look up, create, edit, attach credentials, rotate, delete (HTTP services + SSH services) — §1.3.
• Manage NyxID organizations — list, members, create, invite, edit metadata — §1.4.
• Manage NyxID OAuth clients — register (DCR), list, edit, rotate secrets, revoke — §1.6.
• Find, pull, and execute an existing Ornn skill — or build a new one and upload when nothing matches — §2.1.
• Update a skill's visibility (private / shared / public) — §2.2.
• Publish a new version of a skill you own — §2.3.
• Trigger an audit or review the audit history for a skill — §2.4 / §2.5.
• Pull a non-latest version, compare two versions, or delete / deprecate a version — §2.6 / §2.7 / §2.10.
• Check usage analytics for a skill — §2.8.
• Bind a skill to a NyxID service (system / personal) — §2.9.
• Delete a skill entirely — §2.11.
• Find skills (by tag, author, system, shared, etc.) — §2.12.
• Pull your Ornn notifications (audit fan-out, etc.) — §2.13.
• Link a skill to GitHub or trigger a sync from the linked source — §2.14.
• Work with skillsets (curated bundles of skills + required master prompt / instructions for orchestration, one-call closure, kinds including consensus-supported) — §2.15.
• Diagnose any failure that involves NyxID, Ornn, the proxy, or token forwarding — §3.

Without this manual loaded, you do not know which endpoint to call, how to authenticate, or how to read the response shapes.
