ski

Lightweight, Git-based toolkit for sharing agent skills across repos without copy-paste drift.

ski helps teams reuse the same skills across multiple codebases while keeping installs reproducible and repo-aware.

Best Fit

• teams sharing skills across multiple repos
• per-repo version pinning and restore
• project-scoped or global installs
• automation-friendly

Not For

• skill registries
• marketplaces
• public skill discovery

Install

Install with Homebrew:

brew tap Z-Bra0/skicli
brew install skicli

Homebrew installs the formula as skicli, but the command is still ski.

Or install with the release script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Z-Bra0/Ski/master/scripts/install.sh | sh

Quick Start

Adopt a shared skill in one repo:

ski init --target claude
ski add git:https://github.com/anthropics/skills.git --skill skill-creator

ski add is the first-time workflow: it updates ski.toml, resolves and writes ski.lock.json, fetches the skill into the store, and copies it into the configured targets.

Use ski install later to restore skills from ski.toml and ski.lock.json, for example in a fresh clone.

Notes

• Use ski only with skill repositories you have verified and trust.
• ski add is for first-time add + lock + install. ski install restores from ski.toml and ski.lock.json.
• Local installs write into the project. Use -g for global manifest and global target directories.
• Use ski disable <skill> to keep tracking a skill without installing it into targets. Use ski enable <skill> to restore it later.

Docs

• docs/usage.md — usage patterns, targets, refs, and troubleshooting
• SPEC.md — file formats, schemas, and adapter interfaces
• ARCHITECTURE.md — internal design and Go layout
• DECISIONS.md — design decisions and rationale

Status

• git repositories as skill sources
• local and global scope
• init, add, install, remove, update, list, info, enable, disable, and doctor

Limitations

• Git-only sources
• Trust is manual
• No Windows support
