skills-manage is an independent, unofficial desktop application for managing local skill directories and importing public skill metadata. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub, MiniMax, or any other supported platform, publisher, or trademark owner.
Overview
skills-manage follows the Agent Skills open pattern and uses ~/.agents/skills/ as the canonical central directory. Skills can then be installed to individual platforms through symlinks, so one source of truth can drive multiple AI coding tools.
Highlights
Central skill library plus per-platform install and uninstall flows.
Full skill detail view with Markdown preview, raw source view, and AI explanation generation.
Collections for organizing skills and batch-installing them to platforms.
Discover scan for project-level skill libraries on local disks.
Marketplace browsing and GitHub repository import with authenticated requests and retry fallback.
Fast search for large skill libraries with deferred queries, lazy indexing, and virtualization.
Bilingual UI, Catppuccin themes, accent colors, onboarding, and responsive navigation.
Local-first storage — metadata, collections, scan results, settings, and cached AI explanations stay in ~/.skillsmanage/db.sqlite or the local skill directories you manage.
No telemetry — the app does not include analytics, crash reporting, or usage tracking.
Network access is feature-driven — outbound requests only happen when you explicitly use marketplace sync/download, GitHub import, or AI explanation generation.
Credentials are stored locally — GitHub PAT and AI API keys are kept in the local SQLite settings table and are not encrypted at rest by the app.
Never post real secrets in issues, pull requests, screenshots, or logs.
The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond.
