A lightweight skill management utility for AI coding agents

Project description

Skillboard

A lightweight skill management utility for AI coding agents. Toggle skills on/off between your warehouse and active directories using symbolic links.

Python 3.9+ License: MIT PyPI version

Features

  • Simple Interactive UI - Checkbox-based selection using inquirer
  • 🔗 Symbolic Links - Efficiently enable/disable skills without copying
  • 📂 Multi-Agent Support - Works with Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and more
  • Fast Operations - Quickly toggle skills with keyboard shortcuts
  • 🎨 Beautiful Output - Rich terminal tables and colored output
  • 🔧 Configurable Paths - Customize skill directories via config file

Installation

Using pipx (Recommended)

pipx install skillboard

Using pip

pip install skillboard

From Source

git clone https://github.com/kriss-spy/skillboard.git
cd skillboard
pip install -e .

Quick Start

1. Initialize directories

skillboard init

This creates the default skill directories:

  • ~/.agent/skill-warehouse - Your skill source of truth
  • ~/.agent/skills - Standard agent skills
  • ~/.claude/skills - Claude Code skills
  • ~/.config/opencode/skills - OpenCode skills
  • ~/.gemini/skills - Gemini CLI skills
  • ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills - Antigravity skills

2. List available skills

skillboard list              # Show all .agent skills (global + local)
skillboard list claude       # Show Claude skills (~/.claude/skills + ./claude/skills)
skillboard list agent        # Show agent skills (~/.agent/skills + ./agent/skills)
skillboard list gemini       # Show Gemini skills (~/.gemini/skills + ./gemini/skills)

3. List configured paths

skillboard list-path

3. Sync skills interactively

# Sync from warehouse to Claude Code
skillboard sync -o claude

# Or specify source explicitly
skillboard sync -i warehouse -o claude

# Using paths directly
skillboard sync -i ~/.agent/skill-warehouse -o ~/.claude/skills

4. List skills without interactive mode

skillboard sync -o claude --no-tui

Commands

init

Initialize skillboard configuration and create default directories.

skillboard init

list

List available skills from both global and local locations.

skillboard list              # Show .agent skills (~/.agent/skills + ./.agent/skills)
skillboard list claude       # Show Claude skills (~/.claude/skills + ./claude/skills)
skillboard list agent        # Show agent skills (~/.agent/skills + ./agent/skills)
skillboard list gemini       # Show Gemini skills (~/.gemini/skills + ./gemini/skills)

Shows skills from:

  • Global: The agent's directory in home (e.g., ~/.claude/skills)
  • Local: The agent's directory in current project (e.g., ./claude/skills)

list-path

Show all configured skill paths and their existence status.

skillboard list-path

sync

Sync skills between warehouse and target directory.

Interactive mode (default):

skillboard sync -o claude

Shows a checkbox interface:

  • Space: Toggle skill on/off
  • Enter: Confirm selection
  • Shows preview of changes before applying

List-only mode:

skillboard sync -o claude --no-tui

Options:

  • -i, --input: Source directory (default: warehouse)
  • -o, --output: Target directory (required)
  • --no-tui: Run in list-only mode

Available aliases:

  • warehouse: ~/.agent/skill-warehouse
  • agent: ~/.agent/skills
  • claude: ~/.claude/skills
  • opencode: ~/.config/opencode/skills
  • gemini: ~/.gemini/skills
  • antigravity: ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills

copy

Copy skills from source to target (creates actual copies, not symlinks).

skillboard copy warehouse claude

How It Works

Skillboard treats your warehouse (~/.agent/skill-warehouse) as the source of truth. When you "enable" a skill:

  1. A symbolic link is created in the target directory pointing to the skill in the warehouse
  2. The AI agent sees the skill and loads it

When you "disable" a skill:

  1. The symbolic link is removed from the target directory
  2. The AI agent no longer sees the skill

This approach:

  • ✅ Keeps one master copy of each skill
  • ✅ Instantly adds/removes skills from agent context
  • ✅ Prevents context bloat by only having enabled skills visible
  • ✅ Saves disk space (no copies needed)

Configuration

Configuration is stored in ~/.config/skillboard/config.yaml:

paths:
  agent: ~/.agent/skills
  antigravity: ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills
  claude: ~/.claude/skills
  gemini: ~/.gemini/skills
  opencode: ~/.config/opencode/skills
  warehouse: ~/.agent/skill-warehouse

You can customize these paths by editing the config file.
