📖 Introduction

Skills Manager is a modern desktop application designed to solve the fragmentation of AI assistant skills configurations. Instead of managing skills and prompts separately for different tools, Skills Manager provides a central hub.

It uses a powerful symlink synchronization mechanism, allowing you to write a skill once and instantly use it across 32 supported AI tools including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Trae, and more.

✨ Key Features

• 🎯 Unified Management: Centralize all your AI skills in one secure location.
• 🔄 Smart Synchronization: Automatic symlink management ensures your tools always have the latest version of your skills without file duplication.
• 🎛️ Granular Control: Enable or disable specific skills for individual tools without deleting the original files.
• 🛒 Marketplace: Browse, install, and share community-contributed skills directly within the app.
• 🌐 AI Translation: Translate skill names, descriptions, and content into your preferred language using LLM.
• ⌨️ Command Palette: Quick navigation and actions via ⌘K / Ctrl+K.
• 🌍 Bilingual UI: Full English and Chinese interface support.
• ⚡ High Performance: Built with Rust and Tauri 2.0 for a lightweight, blazing-fast experience.
• 🛡️ Cross-Platform: Native support for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
• 🔌 Multi-Tool Support: Out-of-the-box support for 32 AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Trae, Cline, Augment, Goose, and many more), extensible via custom tools.
• 🧩 Custom Tools: Add your own tools with custom paths and optional icons.
• 🎨 Modern UI: Beautiful Raycast-style interface built with React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, and Radix UI.

📥 Download

Get the build for your platform from the official website, which detects your OS and architecture automatically, or pick a file yourself on the Releases Page.

OS	Installer Type
macOS	.dmg (Universal)
Windows	.msi / .exe
Linux	.deb / .AppImage / .rpm

🪟 Windows Notes

You do not need Administrator rights. When a skill is enabled for a tool, Skills Manager tries three strategies in order:

1. Directory symlink — used when Developer Mode is enabled (or when the app happens to run elevated).
2. Directory junction (mklink /J) — the normal path on a standard account. It needs no special permission.
3. Tracked copy — if junctions are blocked as well, the folder is copied and its source path is recorded in .skills-manager-source.json, so the copy stays traceable and can still be disabled from the app.

A standard, non-elevated Windows account is enough for all three.

If a tool is not detected, elevation will not help either: the tool's own config directory has to exist on this machine. Check the tool compatibility matrix for the exact path each tool reads, or add it manually as a custom tool.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install: Run the installer for your platform.
2. Setup: On first launch, the app will guide you to select your skills storage directory.
3. Sync: The app automatically detects installed AI tools (like Claude Code) and links your skills.

❗ Linux Troubleshooting

If you encounter a blank white screen when launching the .AppImage on Linux (especially in virtual machines like VMware/VirtualBox), it is likely a WebKitGTK hardware acceleration issue.

Please run the application from the terminal with the following command:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 ./Skills-Manager_<version>_amd64.AppImage

🛠️ Technology Stack

📅 Roadmap

We are actively working on making Skills Manager better. Here is what we are planning:

• Core features (e.g., soft link synchronization, multi-tool support).
• Marketplace – Browse, install, and share community-contributed skills.
• AI translation for skill content.
• Plugin system to support more AI tool extensions.
• Integrated AI chat interface for testing Skills directly within the application.
