The skill manager for AI coding agents. Install, update, and sync skills across Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot + more.

Quick Start

One command installs to all detected agents on your system.

[!TIP] New: Sync skills across your team with skillfish bundle.

What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are portable packages of instructions, prompts, scripts, and resources that AI coding agents can discover and use. They give agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot domain expertise, reusable workflows, and team-specific context - loaded on demand to extend capabilities.

Each skill contains a SKILL.md file with structured prompts and instructions the agent can follow.

Examples

Team Skill Sync

Share skills across your team by committing a skillfish.json manifest to your repository.

Setup (one developer):

Sync (other developers):

The manifest tracks external skills only. Local skills (created with skillfish init) are version-controlled directly in your project.

How It Works

1. skillfish bundle scans your installed skills and creates skillfish.json 2. skillfish install reads the manifest and syncs your local skills to match: • Installs skills listed in the manifest • Updates skills when the ref changes • Removes manifest-managed skills that are no longer listed 3. Manually installed skills (skillfish add) are protected from removal

Manifest Format

Skills can be pinned to a specific ref (tag, branch, or commit) using @ref syntax.

Command Reference

add

Install skills from a repository.

init

Create a new skill template with SKILL.md and optional directories.

Interactive mode prompts for name, description, optional metadata (author, license), optional directories (scripts/, references/, assets/), install location, and target agents.

list

View installed skills.

remove

Remove installed skills.

search

Search for skills on skill.fish.

update

Update installed skills to latest version.

bundle

Create a skillfish.json manifest from currently installed skills.

Local skills (created with skillfish init) are excluded from the manifest since they're version-controlled with your project.

install

Install skills from a skillfish.json manifest.

When a skill is removed from the manifest, skillfish install removes it from your system. Manually installed skills are never removed automatically.

submit

Submit your skills to skill.fish for others to discover. Just paste a GitHub URL.

Your submission will be reviewed and added to skill.fish and MCP Market.

Private Repositories

skillfish installs from private repositories when a GitHub token is available. Tokens are resolved in this order:

1. SKILLFISH_GITHUB_TOKEN - skillfish-specific override 2. GITHUB_TOKEN - standard 3. GH_TOKEN - GitHub CLI standard 4. gh auth token - falls back to the GitHub CLI if you're logged in

The simplest setup is gh auth login. Otherwise, export a token before running skillfish:

Public repos work with or without a token, but providing one raises the GitHub API rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests per hour.

Non-Interactive Mode

All commands work without prompts for use in scripts, CI pipelines, and automation. Non-interactive mode activates when:

• The --json flag is passed, or • stdin is not a TTY (piped input, CI runners, cron jobs)

In non-interactive mode, commands use default values where possible and error with guidance when required flags are missing.
