# Bridge Overlay — subscribe to an org's config bundle
An **org overlay** is a git repo an organisation publishes so its members'
Bridges can share config without each person hand-copying files. It mirrors a
**flat tree** of files (`tree/<path>` → `<path>`), every file `scope: org`,
declared by a root `overlay.manifest.yaml`. `/overlay` is the consumer side:
it subscribes, materializes COPIES under a lockfile, and keeps them in sync.
It is the **mirror-image** of the push skills:
| Skill | Direction | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| `/promote` · `/bridge-sync` | **push** your `scope:org`/`core` commits **up** to an upstream | commits |
| `/overlay` | **pull** an org's published config **down** into your repo | manifest-declared files |
Read the referenced file ONLY when triggered.
## When to use
- An org gives you a git URL: "subscribe your Bridge to our overlay"
- You want the org's shared contexts / projects / mandants / accounts / org
skills materialized locally and kept current
- You already subscribed and want to pull updates (`sync`), preview them
(`diff`), re-materialize offline (`apply`), check freshness (`status`),
or end the subscription (`remove`)
**NOT** for:
- Publishing an overlay (that's the org's job — see `references/authoring.md`)
- Pushing YOUR changes upstream (`/promote`, `/bridge-sync`)
- One-off file copies with no ongoing subscription (just copy the file)
## What an overlay carries
An overlay ships an org's `scope: org` building blocks as a flat
