Help with migrating skills from Mycroft to OVOS #168
-
|
I have a few skills I wrote for Mycroft (stuff that helps my in my day-to-day) that I want to migrate to OVOS now that Mycroft is winding down. I've tried the following:
The result is always the same: The skill is not shown in I've tried everything, including reboots after every change. The file permissions look OK, everything is owned by I have activated local skills with Do I need to add the skills to some config file somewhere? Do I need to port them to make the compatible with OVOS? Am I using the wrong folder? |

osm is interactive, you can just type if the skill has a setup.py the recommended way is to OSM is more off an interface to marketplaces/skill stores, it is not a core component or needed for the most part, and in fact is lagging behind |

from the other thread for discoverability that command is meant to launch skills standalone, for example in their own docker container or just for easy development. It's a new feature we just introduced :skills command has not been updated in a long time, ovos-cli-client is in maintenance mode and not getting active development, we just fix bugs as they are reported we are diagnosing issues around the skill loading from folder, we got some more similar reports in our chat recently and are looking into it |

For future readers, there is a helper project to automatically make some of the conversions necessary. OSM is somewhat on its last legs and will probably be converted to a wrapper over a https://github.com/mikejgray/ovos-skill-projen#retrofitting-mycroft-skills-wip If you prefer not using the script or it doesn't work the way you expect (please do file an issue), there's a list of steps there to do the conversion manually. Happy retrofitting! |
