What is Ornn

Ornn is an agent-facing skill-lifecycle API, not a human marketplace.

• 🤖 Agents call it directly — over HTTP or MCP, no human-in-the-loop UI required.
• 🌐 Model + runtime agnostic — Claude, GPT, Gemini, or your own runtime; stable schemas so swapping doesn't break the stack.
• 🔁 Whole lifecycle in one API — search → pull → install → execute → build → upload → share.

Closest analog: npm registry + npm CLI fused, model-agnostic. The primary consumer is the AI agent developer / agentic-system builder; ornn-web is a secondary surface for skill owners and platform admins.

Loading

Every API call is mediated by nyxid — the shared identity + brokering layer ChronoAI uses across products. The agent never holds a long-lived token: nyxid refreshes credentials transparently and brokers per-service access for each request.

Quickstart

Status: alpha. The API surface can still change before v1 — pin a release tag if you ship to production.

1. Create a NyxID account

Sign up at nyx.chrono-ai.fun with invite code NYX-2XXJI08A. Sign in with GitHub, Google, or Apple — NyxID is the identity layer that authenticates every Ornn API call. One account covers every ChronoAI service.

2. Install the Ornn agent manual into your AI agent

Open ornn-agent-manual-cli and follow the install instructions for your agent runtime (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, …). This skill is the operational manual Ornn ships for AI agents: once it's loaded into your agent, the agent knows how to drive the full search → pull → execute → build → upload → share lifecycle on its own — no further hand-holding required.

Partway through setup, your agent will prompt you to install nyxid — the CLI Ornn calls under the hood to broker authenticated requests. Approve the prompt; the agent finishes onboarding itself.

Early-user perk to test the full Playground + Skill Generation flow without a credit card:

1. ⭐ Star this repo
2. Sign in to ornn.chrono-ai.fun with the same GitHub account
3. On first sign-in, enter NyxID invite code NYX-2XXJI08A

Your redemption code lands in the Ornn notification inbox within 24h. First 500 users · 400 free GPT-5.5 conversations (200 Playground + 200 Skill Generation, no card, no expiry).

How Ornn compares

That's it. Your agent now has the full Ornn lifecycle. Try any of these in plain language — no special syntax, no flags to memorise:

• Search the registry.

  "Find me a skill that converts CSV to JSON."

  Hits semantic + keyword search across every public skill.

• Pull and install a skill.

  "Pull and install the skill pdf-extractor, then use it on report.pdf."

  Fetches the latest versioned artifact into your local runtime and runs it.

• Trigger a security audit.

  "Run a security audit on the skill web-scraper."

  Kicks the AgentSeal pipeline against a published version — static analysis, sandbox probe, dependency scan.

• Build and publish a new skill.

  "Build me a skill that summarises RSS feeds and upload it under my account."

  Drives ornn-build to generate the skill, packages it, and publishes a new version through your NyxID identity.
