Note
Latest: v0.20.0 — choose what commit/push/pull version with git_root scope (skills, agents, extras, or all together in one repo); extras extension transforms convert Markdown to native formats (Gemini TOML commands, Codex TOML agents) during sync. All releases →
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.mdtargets, and per-target include/exclude

| Security audit | None | Built-in audit + auto-scan on install/update |
| Web dashboard | None | skillshare ui |
| Runtime dependency | Node.js + npm | None (single Go binary) |
