Arch Linux builder image with pixi, Node.js, build toolchain, and yay AUR helper. Default builder for pixi, npm, cargo, and aur multi-stage builds on Arch. MUST be invoked before building, deploying, configuring, or troubleshooting the archlinux-builder image.

Builder image for Arch Linux multi-stage builds. Counterpart to /ov-distros:fedora-builder — provides the same build capabilities (pixi, npm, cargo) plus AUR support via yay.
| Property | Value | |----------|-------| | Base | archlinux | | Layers | pixi, nodejs, build-toolchain, yay | | Builds | pixi, npm, cargo, aur | | Platforms | linux/amd64 | | Registry | ghcr.io/overthinkos |
When an Arch-based image has layers with pixi.toml, package.json, Cargo.toml, or aur: packages, the build system uses this image as the builder for multi-stage builds. Configured via the archlinux image's builder: field (a map of build-type → builder-image):
# image.yml
archlinux:
builder:
pixi: archlinux-builder
npm: archlinux-builder
cargo: archlinux-builder
aur: archlinux-builder
The builder definitions themselves (pixi/npm/cargo/aur) live in build.yml's builder: section — the same word is used intentionally because both maps key on the same slot (the build-type name).
ov image build archlinux-builder
ov shell archlinux-builder -c "pixi --version"
ov shell archlinux-builder -c "node --version"
ov shell archlinux-builder -c "yay --version"

MUST be invoked when the task involves the archlinux-builder image, Arch multi-stage builds, or AUR package building infrastructure. Invoke this skill BEFORE reading source code or launching Explore agents.

OpenCharly CLI (charly) binary installed into container/VM images for in-container use. Use when working with charly binary deployment inside containers, native D-Bus support, or the full charly toolchain (charly binary + virtualization + gocryptfs + socat).
development
Operator CachyOS workstation profile — a kind:local template + target:local deploy that installs the full dev stack (30 candies) onto a CachyOS host via ShellExecutor. Lives in the overthinkos/cachyos submodule. MUST be invoked before editing or applying the charly-cachyos workstation profile.
tools
Fedora box with the full charly toolchain using shared candies. Rootless-first — runs as uid=1000 with passwordless sudo (no root, no cap_add: ALL). Same candy list as charly-arch. Includes NVIDIA GPU runtime. MUST be invoked before building, deploying, configuring, or troubleshooting the charly-fedora box.
tools
Arch Linux box with the full charly toolchain. Rootless-first — runs as uid=1000 with passwordless sudo (no root, no cap_add: ALL). Composes /charly-coder:charly-mcp so the box is reachable as an MCP gateway on port 18765. NVIDIA GPU runtime composed in. MUST be invoked before building, deploying, configuring, or troubleshooting the charly-arch box.
