What it does
Skill Zoo gathers installed skills of different agents in one manager. The Tauri app searches GitHub repositories for skills, installs and updates them, deletes in bulk and merges duplicates. A built-in Markdown editor lets you write a skill in place, and a consistency check finds three kinds of mismatch and suggests fixes. For agents and the terminal there is the `skill-zoo` npm package: `skill-zoo list` shows what is installed, `skill-zoo doctor fix` repairs common breakage and `skill-zoo wui` starts a local web interface. Community audit scores come from skills.sh, and spare skills can be archived so they do not take up context.
Who it is for. Anyone who keeps dozens of skills across several agents and wants them in one place, updated and deduplicated.
Good fit when
- The same skill sits in Claude Code and Codex directories and duplicates must be merged.
- All skills from GitHub must be updated to the latest versions in one command.
- Skills bloat the context and some have to be archived.
- An agent has to check the state of installed skills itself through the CLI.
Not a fit when
- You have one or two skills and a manager is overkill.
- You need a manager for plugins or MCP servers.
- Work happens on a server with no graphical shell and no Node.js.
Example request
Show the list of installed skills through skill-zoo, find duplicates and suggest what to merge.Limitations
The desktop app installs from GitHub releases for macOS, Windows or Linux, and the CLI installs separately through npm. The manager changes skill directories in the home folder, so make a backup before bulk deletion and merging. Audit scores come from skills.sh and reflect community opinion, and they do not replace reading the code. Building from source needs Bun, Rust and the Tauri toolchain. The project is young, so try duplicate merging on a test folder first.
How to disable. Remove the app the usual way for your OS and the CLI with `npm rm -g skill-zoo`. Installed skills live in agent directories and survive removing the manager.
FAQ
What is included: the app or the CLI?
Both. The desktop app gives a window with search and an editor, and the CLI serves agents and automation.
Which agents are supported?
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, Pi and others.
How do I install the CLI?
With `npm i -g skill-zoo`, then `skill-zoo --help`.
What does doctor fix do?
It diagnoses common install problems and fixes them.
Where do the safety scores come from?
From the community audit on skills.sh, and the manager only shows them next to the skill.
