📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change adds skill, agent, and plugin OCI artifact commands. It supports artifact packaging, registry operations, shortname resolution, sandbox mounting, fallback extraction, manifest detection, tests, and documentation. ChangesOCI artifact lifecycle
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to This change adds OCI artifact packaging and sandbox mounting, but the current implementation has a test-collection blocker, unsafe archive extraction, broken push and pull paths, incorrect skill/agent/plugin separation, and unreliable CLI failure status reporting. These issues can cause security exposure and failed or misleading production workflows, so the PR is not ready to merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@docs/skills_agents_plugins.md`:
- Around line 107-111: Update the fenced code block containing the mount-path
examples to specify the text language label, preserving the existing example
content.
- Around line 16-18: Update the artifact-add documentation to use the selected
engine placeholder, matching the build flow through _engine_bin(args) and
build_skill_artifact; state that <engine> artifact add is used rather than
hard-coding Podman, unless the implementation explicitly requires Podman.
In `@ramalama/cli.py`:
- Around line 990-992: Define distinct agent and plugin artifact-type constants
in the OCI spec module, update build_skill_artifact and the
agent_build_cli/plugin_build_cli callers to pass the appropriate type, and make
agent_ls_cli and plugin_ls_cli filter using their own types while preserving
skill behavior for skills. Update the artifact CLI tests so agent and plugin
cases expect their respective artifact types.
- Around line 860-862: Set a help-printing func default on the parent parsers
created by skill_parser, agent_parser, and plugin_parser, matching the existing
sandbox_parser and daemon_parser pattern so invoking any of these commands
without a subcommand displays help instead of calling a missing args.func.
- Around line 888-894: Update skill_build_cli, agent_build_cli,
plugin_build_cli, all three *_push_cli handlers, and all three *_pull_cli
handlers so failure paths raise or call sys.exit(1) instead of returning 1,
matching the existing error-signaling patterns and ensuring main propagates a
nonzero process status.
- Around line 835-857: Update ramalama/cli.py lines 835-857 in
_resolve_local_artifact to query engine-managed artifact existence via the
configured engine instead of checking filesystem tarballs, so skill_push_cli,
agent_push_cli, and plugin_push_cli validate built artifacts correctly. Update
ramalama/skills/artifact.py lines 49-58 in push_skill_artifact to accept both
SOURCE and TARGET and tag SOURCE to TARGET before pushing, or explicitly reject
differing references; ensure SOURCE is not ignored.
- Around line 831-832: Update the plain listing output in the loop over info to
print e['size'] without appending the literal “bytes”, while preserving the tag,
size, and modified fields and their existing tab-separated format.
- Around line 768-772: Update _list_kind_artifacts to report a diagnostic when
the resolved engine is unsupported, including the fallback "docker" case,
instead of silently returning an empty list; preserve the empty-list behavior
only for valid engines with no artifacts.
In `@ramalama/sandbox.py`:
- Around line 232-238: Expose an idempotent Agent.cleanup() method that removes
all directories in _artifact_tempdirs and safely handles repeated calls. Update
Agent.run() to invoke cleanup in its finally block, and update the outer finally
block in _run_sandbox_single_model() to call the same method so cleanup also
occurs when model.wait_for_healthy() fails before Agent.run().
- Around line 305-312: Update the archive extraction flow around tarfile.open
and tar.extractall to validate every archive member before extraction: reject
absolute paths, path traversal that escapes extract_dir, and link entries, and
permit only regular files and directories. Extract only after all members pass
validation, preserving the existing extracted_any behavior for successful
archives.
In `@ramalama/skills/artifact.py`:
- Around line 11-28: Update build_skill_artifact and _tar_skill_dir so the
generated layer uses a deterministic filename derived from source_dir rather
than the random mkstemp basename. Use that stable name consistently for
LAYER_ANNOTATION_FILEPATH and FileMetadata, while preserving temporary-file
cleanup and archive creation behavior.
In `@ramalama/transports/oci/oci_artifact.py`:
- Around line 237-239: Update OCIRegistryClient.download_blob to move the
validated temporary file to dest_path after digest verification, and remove the
unconditional bare raise so successful downloads return normally. Preserve the
existing failure handling for digest mismatches and ensure
RegistryBlobSnapshotFile.download receives the downloaded artifact.
In `@ramalama/transports/oci/spec.py`:
- Around line 55-59: Update CNAI_SKILL_ARTIFACT_TYPE,
CNAI_SKILL_CONFIG_MEDIA_TYPE, and SKILL_LAYER_MEDIA_TYPE to the draft Agent
Skills OCI media types: application/vnd.agentskills.skill.v1,
application/vnd.agentskills.skill.config.v1+json, and
application/vnd.agentskills.skill.content.v1.tar+gzip. If retaining the existing
application/vnd.cncf.skill.* values, explicitly document them as
RamaLama-specific and provisional.
In `@test/unit/test_artifacts_cli.py`:
- Around line 83-121: Fix the test structure by keeping make_fake_run_cmd at
module scope and moving the agent_ls_cli and plugin_ls_cli assertions into
test_agent_and_plugin_ls after its imports, eliminating the invalid indentation
and preserving both JSON and path checks.
- Around line 12-18: Add mypy-compatible parameter and return annotations to
every function in test_artifacts_cli.py, including make_skill_tarball and the
listed test and fixture functions; use appropriate pytest fixture types and
annotate test functions with None returns, while preserving existing behavior.

Report unsupported engines instead of returning an empty list.
_engine_bin falls back to "docker" when no engine is configured. _list_kind_artifacts then returns [], and the ls commands print nothing. The user cannot tell whether there are no artifacts or whether the engine does not support OCI artifacts.

The plain listing prints a duplicated unit.
size holds the value of the Podman {{ .Size }} template, which is already human-readable. The unit test at test/unit/test_artifacts_cli.py line 43 uses "1KB". Line 832 appends " bytes", so the output reads 1KB bytes.

The push path targets a filesystem tarball store that build no longer writes to. build_skill_artifact now registers artifacts with podman artifact add, so they live in engine-managed storage. Both push sites still assume an on-disk <store>/artifacts/<kind>/<name>.tar.gz layout. The result is that build followed by push fails for every artifact.
ramalama/cli.py#L835-L857:_resolve_local_artifactresolves a shortname to a tarball path and returnsNonewhen the file is absent, which is always the case for artifacts created byskill build.

The random temporary filename becomes the artifact's layer identity.
_tar_skill_dir creates the tarball with tempfile.mkstemp, so tar_path has a random name such as tmp8fk2a1.tar.gz. Line 26 then takes that random basename and uses it for both LAYER_ANNOTATION_FILEPATH and the FileMetadata name.
Two consequences follow:
- Every build of the same source directory produces a different layer annotation. Builds are not reproducible, and artifact digests change with no content change.
- Consumers that use
LAYER_ANNOTATION_FILEPATHto name the extracted file write a file with a meaningless random name._build_snapshot_filesinramalama/transports/oci/oci_artifact.pyat lines 205-215 uses exactly this annotation as the snapshot file name.
Derive a stable name from source_dir instead.

CNCF CNAI skill artifact OCI media type application/vnd.cncf.skill
💡 Result:
There is currently no standardized, globally recognized OCI media type application/vnd.cncf.skill officially registered or adopted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) for AI agent skills [1][2]. While there is an active community-led effort within the CNCF ecosystem to standardize the packaging and distribution of AI agent skills as OCI artifacts—often discussed in the context of Cloud Native Artificial Intelligence (CNAI) and initiatives like CNCF TAG Runtime [3][2]—the industry has yet to settle on a single, unified vendor media type [1][4]. Current developments include: - Community Specifications: Open-source projects and initiatives (such as those involving CNCF members and contributors) are experimenting with custom vendor trees [1][2]. For example, some technical specifications for AI agent skills use vendor-specific types such as application/vnd.agentskills.skill.v1 [1][5]. - OCI Artifact Convention: These efforts generally follow the OCI Artifacts convention, which allows for the distribution of non-container image content (like AI models or agent skills) using OCI registries [3][5][4]. - Related CNAI Standardization: Separately, the CNAI community has been working on standardizing how AI models are distributed in OCI, with examples of specific annotations and media types (e.g., application/vnd.cnai.model) being used in practice to ensure interoperability across registries like Harbor [6]. If you encountered application/vnd.cncf.skill in a specific project or documentation, it is likely a proposed or proprietary convention within that specific scope rather than a formal CNCF-wide standard [1][2]. Organizations currently working on this are coordinating via channels such as the CNCF Slack (e.g., #initiative-oci-compliant-inner-loop-tooling-and-packaging) and formal proposals (e.g., CNCF TOC issue #1740) [2][4].

The media type application/vnd.cncf.skill and its associated manifest type application/vnd.cncf.skill.manifest.v1+json relate to the Agent Skills project, an initiative designed to establish an open, standardized format for AI agents to discover, manage, and execute specialized capabilities [1]. The Agent Skills ecosystem defines skills as lightweight, portable packages—typically containing a SKILL.md file and optional supporting assets—that enable AI agents to perform specific tasks [1]. The OCI (Open Container Initiative) artifact specification is used to package and distribute these skills, leveraging existing container registry infrastructure [2][3]. Specifically: - Application/vnd.cncf.skill refers to the core media type used for an Agent Skill artifact when distributed via an OCI-compliant registry [2][3]. - Application/vnd.cncf.skill.manifest.v1+json identifies the versioned manifest format used to describe the contents, metadata, and dependencies of these skill artifacts [3]. These types allow for standardized, vendor-neutral distribution, enabling agents to pull and verify skills using common industry patterns for provenance, integrity, and dependency management [2][3]. The development of these standards is hosted under the Agent Skills project, with the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) supporting the effort to standardize how AI agents interact with modular, shareable capabilities [4][1][3].

💡 Result:
The media types provided in your query are associated with the OCI (Open Container Initiative) artifact ecosystem, specifically for packaging and distributing AI agent skills [1][2]. While these are structured following Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) naming conventions (similar to Helm or ModelPack standards) [3][4], they are often utilized by emerging community-driven specifications for Agent Skills rather than being a single, singular global standard [1][2]. The components typically function as follows: 1. application/vnd.cncf.skill.manifest.v1+json: This often identifies the artifact type within the OCI manifest itself, acting as a top-level descriptor for the AI skill package [1][5]. 2. application/vnd.cncf.skill.config.v1+json: This media type defines the configuration object for the skill [1][2]. It is a JSON file containing metadata such as the skill name, version, description, license, and compatibility requirements, typically extracted from the skill's source documentation (e.g., SKILL.md frontmatter) [1][6][2]. 3. application/vnd.cncf.skill.bundle.v1.tar+gzip: This represents the content layer of the artifact [1][2]. It is a deterministic, compressed tarball (tar.gz) containing the actual skill logic, scripts, and necessary files [2][7][8]. The use of a deterministic archive ensures that the same content consistently produces the same hash/checksum, which is critical for reproducibility and security in distributed environments [7][8]. These types follow the OCI Image Specification, allowing skills to be stored, signed, and distributed using standard container registries (like Docker Hub, Quay, or Harbor) alongside traditional container images [1][9][2]. If you are working with a specific framework, it is recommended to check their official documentation for the exact schema required for the config JSON, as implementations may vary slightly [10][6].

The terms skill.manifest.v1+json, skill.config.v1+json, and skill.bundle.v1.tar+gzip refer to proposed or emerging patterns within the Agent Skills ecosystem for managing, configuring, and distributing AI agent skills [1][2][3][4]. These identifiers appear to be specific media type or file naming conventions discussed in the agentskills/agentskills repository as part of efforts to standardize how skills are packaged and discovered [1][4][5][6]. Key context for these patterns includes: 1. skill.manifest.v1+json (Manifest/Metadata): This relates to proposals for structured, machine-readable package metadata [1][2][4]. While the core specification currently centers on a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter [7][8], there are ongoing discussions to introduce separate JSON files (e.g., skill.json or package-level manifests) to provide tooling—such as registries and package managers—with structured information like versioning, dependencies, and author details without requiring them to parse markdown [1][2][3]. 2. skill.config.v1+json (Configuration): This addresses the need for skill parameterization [9]. Proposals suggest using JSON schemas to declare what environment variables, secrets, or configuration inputs a skill requires to function across different platforms, separating the declaration of requirements from the execution logic [9]. 3. skill.bundle.v1.tar+gzip (Distribution): This refers to the packaging of skills as archives for distribution [6]. As the ecosystem moves toward more robust packaging, skills are increasingly treated as versioned artifacts [4][10]. Whether using standard OCI (Open Container Initiative) registries or traditional tar/gzip bundles, this pattern allows for the distribution of skills as atomic, versioned units containing all necessary code, assets, and instructions [5][6]. These naming patterns are part of a broader effort to standardize skill discovery, dependency resolution, and runtime environment requirements in a language-agnostic way [3][5]. As of August 2026, these remain part of the evolving specification and community-led RFC processes, rather than finalized, universal standards enforced across all agent platforms [3][4][10].

The media type application/vnd.cncf.skill.manifest.v1+json is an identifier used within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ecosystem, specifically associated with the definition and distribution of automated agent skills [1][2]. While the CNCF maintains a foundation-level repository for agent skills [1] and provides documentation for contributors regarding how to utilize these skills as repeatable playbooks for repository tasks (such as PR review and triage) [2], this specific media type serves as a structured manifest format. It allows these skills—often used by AI agents or automated workflows—to be packaged, versioned, and distributed as OCI (Open Container Initiative) artifacts, similar to how the CNCF manages other cloud-native artifacts like AI models [3][4]. This naming convention aligns with broader CNCF initiatives to standardize the interoperability of various artifacts using OCI-compliant media types, such as the application/vnd.cncf.model.manifest.v1+json used for AI model packaging [3][4].

The string application/vnd.cncf.skill is not a formally defined or widely used media type within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ecosystem [1][2]. It appears to be a confusion with existing, established OCI (Open Container Initiative) artifact media types [1][2]. Projects working on packaging AI agent skills as OCI artifacts—such as the agents-skills-oci-artifacts-spec and related tooling like skills-oci or Arconia CLI—utilize the application/vnd.agentskills vendor tree instead [1][2][3][4]. These projects often draw inspiration from established CNCF patterns [1][2]. For example, the use of tar+gzip for content layers in agent skills is described as consistent with CNCF project precedents like Helm (application/vnd.cncf.helm.chart.content.v1.tar+gzip) and Flux (application/vnd.cncf.flux.content.v1.tar+gzip) [1][2]. If you encountered application/vnd.cncf.skill, it is likely a misremembered reference to these existing application/vnd.cncf.* patterns or an incorrectly guessed media type for the emerging agent skills specification [1][2].

Fix the invalid test structure.
test_agent_and_plugin_ls ends after the import at Line 84. make_fake_run_cmd starts at module scope. The indented statements at Line 108 then cause an IndentationError during test collection.
Keep make_fake_run_cmd at module scope. Move Lines 108-121 into test_agent_and_plugin_ls.

Summary
Implements #2859 — packages skills, agents, and plugins as OCI artifacts,
mirroring how RamaLama already distributes AI models, and makes them
mountable into
ramalama sandboxcontainers.What's included
ramalama [skill|agent|plugin] build -d <path> -t <tag>— tars a directoryand adds it as a local OCI artifact via the container engine
ramalama [skill|agent|plugin] ls— lists locally available artifacts ofthat kind (queries the engine's own artifact storage)
ramalama [skill|agent|plugin] push/pull— publish/fetch artifacts via aremote registry, reusing the existing OCI transport machinery used for
models
ramalama sandbox <agent> --skill/--agent/--plugin <name>(eachrepeatable) — resolves shortnames, then mounts the artifact into the
sandbox container, either via native OCI artifact mounting (Podman ≥5.7.0)
or a pull+extract+bind-mount fallback on older engines/Docker
shortnames-skills.conf,shortnames-agents.conf,shortnames-plugins.conf, each with a matching[shortnames.<kind>]section, matching the syntax proposed in the issueapplication/vnd.cncf.skill.manifest.v1+json) soskill/agent/plugin artifacts are distinguishable from AI model artifacts,
including in the pull-side manifest validation
Deviation from the issue's suggested implementation
The issue suggested unpacking tarballs via an entrypoint-overwrite script.
Instead, this mounts artifacts natively via
podman artifactmount supportwhere available, falling back to host-side extraction + bind-mount
otherwise — avoids entrypoint hacking and preserves file metadata when the
engine supports it.
Known limitations
<kind> pullcurrently caches pulled artifacts via the same storage usedfor AI models, rather than a dedicated skills/agents/plugins location.
Functionally correct, but not yet cleanly separated.
Testing
build/push/pull/ls CLI, sandbox artifact preparation
buildcorrectly creates a tagged artifact with the new artifact type,
lscorrectly filters and lists it, and the sandbox skill-resolution/mount
logic runs cleanly against real
podman artifactoutput. Fullcontainer-runtime verification (confirming mounted files are visible
inside a running sandbox container) was not completed due to local
Podman-on-Windows connectivity instability unrelated to this change.
test_agent_workdirintest_sandbox_cmd.pyfails on currentmainas well (pre-existing,confirmed via
git stash), unrelated to this change.Closes #2859
