6ee243cc37 Split the end-user omarchy skill into topic guides (#6602)
* Split the end-user omarchy skill into topic guides

Move default/omarchy-skill to default/agents/skills/omarchy and break the
monolithic SKILL.md into on-demand topic files for Hyprland config, shell
plugins, theming, and hooks. Update the skill symlink wiring, relink
existing installs through a migration, and correct claims that had drifted
from the implementation: plugin hot-reload, terminal reload, menu
customization, refresh scopes, theme overlays, background locations, hook
timing, and the packaged (not git-managed) system directory.

* Add capture and contributing guides to the omarchy skill

Cover screenshots, screen recording, OCR text capture, and LocalSend or
Taildrop sharing, plus how to route bug reports, suggestions, and support
questions upstream with diagnostics and captures of the problem attached.

* Scope Hyprland reload guidance to the Lua config files

hyprsunset.conf and xdph.conf are read by separate processes, so hyprctl
neither applies nor validates them. Document restarting hyprsunset after
editing its config, including in the night light example.

# Themes, Backgrounds, and Fonts
Read this before changing themes, backgrounds, fonts, or theme colors.
## Theme Commands
```bash
omarchy theme list # Show available themes
omarchy theme current # Show current theme
omarchy theme set <name> # Apply theme ("Tokyo Night" and "tokyo-night" both work)
omarchy theme bg next # Cycle background
omarchy theme install <url> # Install from git repo
```
## Making a New Theme
1. Create a directory under `~/.config/omarchy/themes`.
2. See how an existing theme is done via `/usr/share/omarchy/themes/catppuccin`.
3. Download a matching background (or several) from the internet and put them in `~/.config/omarchy/themes/<name-of-new-theme>/backgrounds/`.
4. When done with the theme, run `omarchy theme set "Name of new theme"`.
Additional user backgrounds for any theme (stock or custom) go in
`~/.config/omarchy/backgrounds/<theme-slug>/`.
## Customizing a Stock Theme
Never edit stock themes under `/usr/share/omarchy/themes/` — changes are lost
on update. Two safe options:
**Overlay (preferred for small tweaks):** create a user theme directory with
the SAME slug containing only the files you want to change. When the theme is
applied, the stock theme is copied first and your files win on top:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/omarchy/themes/catppuccin
cp /usr/share/omarchy/themes/catppuccin/colors.toml ~/.config/omarchy/themes/catppuccin/
# Edit the copied colors.toml, then re-apply:
omarchy theme set catppuccin
```
**Fork:** copy the whole stock theme under a new name for a fully independent
variant:
```bash
cp -r /usr/share/omarchy/themes/catppuccin ~/.config/omarchy/themes/catppuccin-custom
# Edit ~/.config/omarchy/themes/catppuccin-custom/, then:
omarchy theme set catppuccin-custom
```
## Fonts
```bash
omarchy font list # Available fonts
omarchy font current # Current font
omarchy font set <name> # Change font
```
