Skills Manager

What is Skills Manager?

Skills Manager is a universal skills manager for coding AI agents. It lets you install, manage, enable/disable, and share “skills” across multiple major agents (including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and more) from one place.

The core purpose is to reduce the manual work of tracking where skills are stored for each agent and copying or adjusting files when you want to use the same skill in a different environment.

Key Features

• Unified view of installed skills across agents: See every skill installed across supported agents in one interface, avoiding the need to search through separate config directories.
• One-click installation from GitHub: Paste a GitHub repository URL to install skills, including for public repositories and custom registries.
• Copy skills between agents: Move an installed skill from one supported agent to another (for example, from Claude Code to Cursor) without manual file copying.
• Enable/disable toggles: Turn individual skills on or off without deleting them, which supports experimentation and quick rollback.
• Support for multiple coding agents: Works with a set of “major coding agents,” listed on the product page as Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Goose, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, Kilo Code, Trae, and Antigravity.

How to Use Skills Manager

1. Install Skills Manager for your operating system (Windows or Linux; macOS is listed as coming soon).
2. Add skills by pasting a GitHub repo URL into Skills Manager and installing the skill from there.
3. Manage your setup from the unified view: enable or disable skills as needed, and switch between agents without manually hunting down skill files.
4. Copy skills between agents when you want the same skill available in another supported agent.

Note: The Windows download may show a SmartScreen warning; the page advises clicking “More info” → “Run anyway.”

Use Cases

• Switching between coding agents: You find a skill that works well in one agent and want the same behavior in another without manually copying files and adjusting paths.
• Managing multiple skills across projects: Instead of tracking skills across different agent-specific folders, you keep an overview of what’s installed and control them from one place.
• Experimenting without losing your setup: You enable a new skill to test it, then disable it later if it doesn’t fit your workflow—without deleting and rebuilding your configuration.
• Installing from a known GitHub repo: You locate a public skill repository and install it by providing the GitHub URL directly.
• Teams or power users standardizing skills: You can treat skills as reusable components and distribute the same skills across different agent environments by installing and copying between them.

FAQ

• What are “skills”? The page refers to “skills” as installable components you can add to coding AI agents and then enable/disable or copy between agents.

• Is Skills Manager free and open source? Yes. The page states it is free forever and that the source code is public.

• Which operating systems are supported? The page lists Windows and Linux available now, with macOS coming soon.

• Which agents are supported? The product page lists support for: Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Goose, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, Kilo Code, Trae, and Antigravity.

• How do I install a skill? Paste a GitHub repository URL into Skills Manager and install from that repository (the page notes it works with public repos and custom registries).

Alternatives

• Manual skill management via agent configuration directories: You can copy skill files and update paths for each agent yourself. This is more labor-intensive and error-prone than maintaining a unified view.
• Agent-specific skill/plugin managers (where available): Some agents have their own ways to install or manage extensions/skills. The trade-off is that you may still need separate workflows per agent rather than a single manager.
• General-purpose versioned dotfiles or config sync tools: If your goal is to keep agent configurations consistent, tools that sync dotfiles can help, but they may not provide skill-level enable/disable and cross-agent copying as described for Skills Manager.
