SkillSmith

Overview

SkillSmith is a native macOS control room for the skills already on your machine. It brings discovery, organization, editing, installation, promotion, and updates into one place without losing track of where each skill lives.

It discovers skills across the system and shared project roots, shows what is installed where, and helps keep skills available to Codex, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and other agents.

Key Features

One Skill Catalogue

• Discover skills across global and project locations
• See which agents use each skill and where its source lives
• Search, inspect, edit, import, and create skills from one native interface

Safe Distribution

• Install skills for the agents that need them
• Promote project skills into a shared global library
• Preserve filesystem ownership and make destinations observable

Diff-First Updates

• Link skills to upstream Git repositories
• Review changes before applying an update
• Keep recoverable backups around mutations

Technical Implementation

SkillSmith is built as a native SwiftUI macOS application. The filesystem remains authoritative: the app discovers and reconciles skill locations rather than hiding them behind a separate database. Lightweight application state stays local, credentials remain in Keychain, and Git-backed updates surface file-level changes for review.
