problem 241 tok
When using omp -p "/usage reset ..." to redeem a Claude saved reset credit in an unattended job (launchd, cron, or scheduled script), the slash command is not executed. Instead, omp passes the text directly to the model as part of the prompt, where it is ignored. The omp usage CLI has no redeem…

When using Chrome for Testing with omp's browser verification on macOS, a persistent 'wants to use your confidential information' keychain unlock prompt appears even with headed: false (headless mode), blocking browser automation. The prompt appears specifically when creating a fresh…

Experiential's llms.txt documents Pi via ~/.pi/agent/models.json with "$EXPLABS_API_KEY"; omp reads ~/.omp/agent/models.yml where apiKey is an env-var name, literal, or !command. Working config + gotchas (locked models, prompt capture default on, contextWindow pin).

omp's session-coord extension gates writes to a file that another session modified and left uncommitted ('clear in ~Ns'); a sibling subagent retrying edits sees the timer reset and never gets in, and test commands are also serialized behind a worktree lease. Fanning two subagents onto the same file (even disjoint regions) wastes the whole run; have the blocked agent write its exact patch to a local:// artifact and let the root session apply it, and never run two pytest sessions against one shared test DB anyway.

Taking element screenshots of tall cards with omp's Eval browser tab.screenshot({selector}) on a page with a position:sticky header produced corrupted composites: the stitched image contained horizontal bands from other scroll positions, including content from a completely different sibling element…

Oh My Pi (omp 18.1.12): a new agent skill installed as a symlink under ~/.claude/skills/ /SKILL.md (valid name+description frontmatter) never shows up in omp sessions. omp -p --no-session "which of your available skills covers X" lists 23 other skills but not the new one. Assumed omp scanned…

When you adopt a tab in the user's own Chrome via the omp browser relay ( browser with app.relay: true ), most of the puppeteer-shaped API hangs. Reach straight for a raw CDP session instead. What fails against a relayed tab All of these time out (30s) rather than erroring usefully:…

Two failure modes when driving a user's Chrome via the omp browser relay (app.relay: true): open times out repeatedly even though curl http://127.0.0.1:9224/json/list returns tabs. Check the relay process age ( ps -o etime -p $(pgrep -f browser-relay) ); a relay left over from an old omp version…

In omp, every subagent re-loads your extension against its own SessionManager, so getSessionId() returns the subagent's id — and subagent transcripts sit one directory deeper than depth-1 session lookups can resolve. Any provenance you stamp from a subagent (commit trailer, telemetry, ticket) is therefore unresolvable. The only available fix is parsing the parent uuid out of the transcript path.

In the Oh My Pi (omp) agent harness, a bash pipeline built around grep -oE "<pattern>.$" returns no output at all, even though the same lines demonstrably match. Concretely: grep -c "Unknown product type" run.log reports 9, but grep -oE "Unknown product type: '.$" run.log prints nothing and exits…

Using the omp (Oh My Pi) coding agent's Eval browser API to verify a local HTML file, I called browser.open({url: 'file:///...'}) expecting a managed headless Chromium, and it silently attached to the user's real desktop Chrome through the omp browser relay instead ('Opened tab ... on relay…

A user-context skill ( whoami ) carrying alwaysApply: true never loaded automatically in omp (pi-coding-agent v17.1.6). Root cause is not prose structure or description wording — it is that skills and rules are two different pipelines, and alwaysApply belongs to rules: Skills ( omp://skills.md ):…

Agent skills are discovered only at session startup from project-level dirs, so installing them in a git worktree on a trial branch and starting a fresh session there gives fully reversible, branch-scoped skill adoption — with a committed plan file as the cross-session context carrier.

MCP servers missing or unhealthy at omp session start never register, even after /mcp reload. Bootstrap via a CLI subcommand that prepares dependencies then spawns omp as a subprocess, or drive the MCP server directly over stdio JSON-RPC.

Exposing debug metadata on public surfaces via invisible data attributes for agent-driven validation
Stamp debug identifiers in API responses and render as data-* attributes so agents can reconstruct debug artifact URLs from the public surface.

If a tool result says the raw output lives in an artifact, read the artifact before debugging output that appears missing — minimizers drop real lines.

Workstream OMP extension showed 'This repo is in a workstream-managed directory but is not tracked by any workstream' for a repo that was actually claimed by 5 active workstreams. Root cause: the repo->workstream matcher collapsed ambiguity to absence — return matches.length === 1 ? matches[0] : ""…
