Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 42 stories with headroom
What would move Omarchy’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productPlug MCP servers into this product so it can use their tools
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45
Omarchy ships OpenCode and Claude Code as default agent harnesses, but no evidence pack item mentions MCP servers, MCP integration, or a way to plug external tool servers into these agents.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productConnect an agent via an official MCP server
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45
Omarchy documents an 'omarchy' CLI that agents can control and ships agent harnesses (OpenCode, Claude Code) plus agent skills, but there is no mention anywhere in the evidence of an official MCP server that external agents could connect to.
Automation depth — how much of the product can run unattendedDefine rules that trigger actions automatically on events
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Evidence shows only manual, click-to-trigger agent invocation (e.g., clicking a crash notification, docs-32) and agent skills for building apps/themes, but there is no evidence of a user-configurable rule/trigger engine that fires actions automatically on system or application events.
Window management — stories about window management in this arenaSearch for files, apps, and settings instantly from a global search launcher
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missing: any documented app-launcher/search-everything feature, screenshots or docs of a unified search UI, and community corroboration of such a feature.
Install setup — getting it installed and running — prerequisites, packaging, first runTransfer my files and settings from my old computer to a new machine running the OS
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missing: any migration/import feature, dotfiles/settings sync tool, cross-machine file transfer utility, or documentation addressing switcher onboarding from another OS/computer.
Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missing: any privacy policy or setting regarding AI training data use, opt-out mechanism, or vendor statement on data usage.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productPoint an agent at llms.txt or agent-oriented docs
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
A direct probe confirms llms.txt returns 404 at omarchy.org, and there is no evidence of any alternative agent-oriented documentation endpoint (e.g., structured docs meant for LLM consumption).
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productDrive the product through a documented public API
partialq4/10moves agent-readyimpact 27
Missing: a documented public API/HTTP interface (openapi.json, REST endpoint, or llms.txt), remote/programmatic access beyond local CLI invocation, and any SDK or API reference beyond the CLI manual.
