Skills-Manager-Plus

A desktop app for building, organizing, syncing, and backing up AI agent skills across tools, presets, global workspaces, and project workspaces.

中文说明

Overview

Skills-Manager-Plus is a cross-tool skill manager for people who work with multiple AI coding agents. It gives you one central place to install skills, organize them by preset, inspect agent-global local skill state, compare them with project-local skill folders, and keep everything versioned with Git.

Instead of managing scattered skills/ directories by hand, you maintain a central library and decide how each workflow should use it.

What Problem It Solves

• Skills are usually scattered across different tools and machines.
• Different workflows need different active skill sets.
• Project-local skills drift away from central libraries over time.
• Backing up or migrating a skills library is easy to forget and hard to recover cleanly.

Skills-Manager-Plus addresses this with a central library, preset-based switching, global workspace visibility, project workspace comparison, per-agent sync, and built-in Git backup.

Key Capabilities

• Central skill library — Import skills from Git repositories, local folders, .zip or .skill archives, skills.sh, ClawHub, and plugin bundles.
• Skills Management — Review, tag, enable, disable, inspect, compare, and sync skills from one management surface.
• Skills Store — Install from marketplace sources, Git repositories, local scans, ClawHub, and plugin markets.
• Presets — Keep separate skill sets for different workflows, clients, or projects, then switch between them quickly without implicitly applying changes to disk.
• Global Workspace — Inspect each installed agent's global local skills, compare them with the Skills Center, and run preset-driven bulk sync actions.
• Remote Workspace — Connect to SSH hosts, discover remote agent global Skills, and safely install, update, or delete remote Skills with backups.
• Project Workspaces — Compare project-local skills against the central library and move changes in either direction.
• Per-agent sync — Sync with symlink or copy mode, including independent sync mode for custom agents.
• Git backup — Create snapshot-based history for backup, recovery, and multi-machine sync.
• CLI — Script repository checks, skill installs, preset sync, Global Workspace operations, and Git recovery with the same core services as the desktop app.

What This Fork Adds

This fork extends the original skills-manager with deeper workflow coverage around discovery, local management, custom agents, and plugin distribution.

ClawHub Integration

• Built-in ClawHub search and browsing flow.
• API key configuration in Settings.
• Integrated into the installation workflow instead of being a separate external step.

Better Local Skills Workflow

• Skills Management separates Skill Repository and Local Skills.
• Local scan and import are part of the main management workflow.
• Batch import, source filtering, and description inference improve large local libraries.

Custom Agent Sync Control

• Each custom agent can use its own sync mode.
• Sync behavior can differ from the global default.
• Path and symlink handling are more robust during sync operations.

Plugin Marketplace Support

• Add plugin market sources from GitHub repositories.
• Discover plugin bundles and install packaged skills directly in-app.
• Track plugin-installed skills separately from the rest of the library.

Standalone Product Identity

• Separate bundle ID, updater channel, config directory, repo path, and database file.
• Can coexist with the original Skills Manager on the same machine.

Product Structure

The current app is organized around these modules:

• Dashboard

Supported Tools

Cursor · Claude Code · Codex · OpenCode · Amp · Kilo Code · Roo Code · Goose · Gemini CLI · GitHub Copilot · Windsurf · TRAE IDE · Antigravity · Clawdbot · Droid

You can also add custom tools in Settings.

Quick Start

1. Create or switch to a preset.
2. Open Skills Store to import skills from marketplace, Git, local folders, ClawHub, or plugins.
3. Open Skills Management to decide which skills belong to the current preset.
4. Open Global Workspace when you want to inspect agent-global local skills or apply a preset to a specific agent in bulk.
5. Use Remote Workspace when you need to manage agent-global Skills on SSH hosts without local/remote sync.
6. Use Project Workspaces if you need to compare or exchange project-local skills.
7. Configure Git Backup if you want history, restore points, or multi-machine sync.
8. Use skills-manager-plus-cli for automation or recovery tasks that should share the desktop app's repository and preset state.

The repository also includes skills/manage-skills/SKILL.md, an optional Agent Skill that teaches compatible agents to call skills-manager-plus-cli instead of writing directly into one agent-specific skills directory.

Development

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Rust toolchain
