## Features - **Unified skill library** — Install skills from Git repos, local folders, `.zip` / `.skill` archives, or the [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) marketplace. Everything goes into one central repo, which defaults to `~/.skills-manager` and can be customized in **Settings**. - **Marketplace + AI search** — Browse popular skills from the marketplace, run keyword search, or enable SkillsMP AI search with your API key. - **Presets** — Group skills into named presets. In any workspace, click a preset pill to instantly activate or deactivate all its skills for the current agent scope. The sidebar lists all presets for quick access. - **Global Workspace** — Each agent gets its own page listing every skill in its global folder — including ones installed outside Skills Manager — so the view always reflects what the agent actually sees. Add or remove skills per agent, or use the All Agents overview to manage every installed agent at once. ### Source-backed notes - README includes `npm install` for dependencies and a Rust CLI install command: `cargo install --path src-tauri --bin skills-manager-cli ...`. - Repo is MIT licensed and actively maintained (verified via GitHub API). - Languages include both Rust and TypeScript (verified via GitHub languages API snapshot). ### FAQ - **Is there a CLI?**: Yes—README shows installing `skills-manager-cli` via Cargo in `src-tauri`. - **Do I need Rust installed?**: Only for building/installing the CLI; the desktop app uses Tauri and may require toolchain setup. - **What problem does it solve?**: Keeping many skills organized and synchronized across machines/projects (as described in README). ## Source & Thanks > Created by [xingkongliang](https://github.com/xingkongliang).
