What it does
Skills Manager keeps one central skill library and installs skills into many coding tools via symlink or copy. Skills come from Git repos, local folders, .zip and .skill archives or the skills.sh marketplace, and get grouped into presets, tagged, and checked for updates. A CLI and a manage-skills skill ship inside the app, so Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents can install, deploy or list skills by driving Skills Manager instead of writing into agent folders directly, which keeps source, preset membership and deployment state intact. It offers backup to a private GitHub repo and cross-device library sync with skill-aware merges. The app ships for macOS via Homebrew, plus Windows and Linux.
Who it is for. For people who keep many agent skills and want to install and sync them in one place.
Good fit when
- You want to gather skills from many sources into one library and split them into presets
- You want to sync one skill set across several agents
- You want the agent to install and move skills itself via manage-skills
Not a fit when
- You need one specific skill, not a manager for skills
- You work in a single agent and project where manual install is enough
Example request
Install the skill from this repo and deploy it to Claude Code and CodexLimitations
The primary interface is a Tauri desktop app; the CLI ships inside the app, and a standalone CLI install on a server is done manually. The manage-skills skill works only when the app's published CLI is present. Backup and cross-device sync require connecting a private GitHub repository.
How to disable. Uninstall the app, on macOS via brew uninstall --cask skills-manager, or with the OS uninstaller. Remove the manage-skills skill from agents via the app dashboard or by deleting its folder.
FAQ
Is it free?
Yes, the source is open under the MIT license. The author has a donation page.
Can it work without the desktop app?
The CLI ships inside the app, but on a server or headless machine it can be installed separately. The app provides one-click install and setup.

README in short
The README presents Skills Manager as an app for managing agent skills across many coding tools at once. A single library gathers skills from repos, folders, archives and the skills.sh marketplace, while presets, tags and update checks help organize and maintain them. Syncing to other tools happens by symlink or copy in one click, and backup plus cross-device sync connect through a private GitHub repo with skill-aware merges. A dedicated section covers the mode where agents manage skills themselves through the bundled CLI and the manage-skills skill. It installs via Homebrew on macOS and via installers for Windows and Linux, MIT licensed.
