Note

Why skillshare

Every AI CLI has its own skills directory. You edit in one, forget to copy to another, and lose track of what's where.

skillshare fixes this:

• One source, every agent — sync to Claude, Cursor, Codex & 60+ more with skillshare sync
• Agent management — sync custom agents alongside skills to agent-capable targets
• More than skills — manage rules, commands, prompts & any file-based resource with extras
• Install from anywhere — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or any self-hosted Git
• Built-in security — audit skills for prompt injection and data exfiltration before use
• Team-ready — project skills in .skillshare/, org-wide skills via tracked repos
• Local & lightweight — single binary, no registry, no telemetry, fully offline-capable
• Fine-grained filtering — control which skills reach which targets with .skillignore, SKILL.md targets, and per-target include/exclude
