What It Does

SkillDock is an AI coding skills manager and desktop control center for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding agents. It keeps local Skills, MCP configurations, and plugin bundles visible, editable, and synced. It scans each tool's real Skill directory, shows managed and unmanaged Skills, and lets users preview local changes before updating or pushing.

The core workflow is team collaboration without intermediate handoff directories. Publishers can modify skills or plugins locally and push changes back with one click; users can update with one click while seeing who updated the package and what changed.

  • Skills library — Install, update, delete, edit, inspect, and sync local skills.
  • MCP management — Browse, import, edit, enable, disable, sync, and inspect MCP server configs.
  • Plugin management — Install, enable, disable, inspect, one-click update, and remove plugin packages, with local change and pending-push detection for Git-backed plugins.
  • Skill source grouping — Group installed skills by repository or local source so team-maintained skill sets stay easy to scan.
  • Real tool directory view — Inspect Skills in the actual Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and other supported tool directories, including managed, unmanaged, conflicting, folder, and symlink states.
  • Skill diff and collaboration — Edit local changes, review staged and unstaged diffs, revert a file or hunk, and preview pending pushes before sharing updates.
  • Cards and dark mode — Switch Skills, MCP, and Plugins between list and card layouts, with light, dark, and system themes.
  • MCP tools discovery — Detect exposed MCP tools, track whether each server config is usable, and control tool-level enablement.
  • Skill install — Install skills with one click from skills.sh and skillsmp, or add them from Git repositories and local folders.
  • MCP install — Install MCP servers with one click from MCP.Directory, then manage their shared configuration lifecycle.
  • Plugin install — Install plugin packages with one click from Git repositories and enable their bundled skills, commands, agents, and integrations.
  • Git-aware workflow — Keep Git-based skills and plugins as real repositories, detect upstream updates, local edits, and pending pushes, and preview changes before pulling or pushing.
  • One-click multi-tool sync — Enable skills, MCP servers, and plugins across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and other coding tools to avoid hand-copying files and editing complex config files.

Skills

View every installed skill by source group or by the tool's real directory, filter by management status, inspect source metadata, and see Git collaboration state at a glance.

Skill details and tool sync

Skill details and tool sync

SkillDock preserves source information and tool enablement per skill, so a team-maintained skill can stay connected to its upstream repository while still being applied selectively to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and other tools.

MCP

Manage MCP servers in the same workspace as skills. SkillDock scans supported app config files, shows the server command and source, and lets you enable or disable server sync per tool. Use list or card views and inspect MCP tools in context.

Plugins

Tools

SkillDock detects supported coding tools, shows their skill and MCP config locations, and gives you one place to manage sync targets.

Supported tools

Install

Install flows are split by package type so skills, MCP servers, and plugins can each follow their own lifecycle.

Skill install

Install skills with one click from skills.sh and skillsmp, or add them from Git repositories and local folders.

Skill marketplace install

Install skills from marketplace

Skill Git and local install

Install skills from Git repositories

MCP install

Install MCP servers with one click from MCP.Directory, then manage their shared configuration and tools lifecycle.

Install MCP servers

Plugin install

Install complete plugin packages with one click from Git repositories, select supported host tools, and enable bundled skills, commands, agents, and integrations.

Install plugins

Settings

Configure the app storage directory, default editor, update checks, default install behavior, themes, card layout preferences, and tool support status.

How It Works

SkillDock keeps installed skills in a managed local library, then enables them for each supported tool by creating links into that tool's own skills directory. This keeps one source of truth while still letting each tool read skills from the location it expects.

Plugins are managed as higher-level packages. A plugin can expose skills, agents, commands, MCP integrations, and host-specific capabilities; SkillDock installs the package once, tracks its source, and lets you enable or disable it for compatible host tools.

MCP servers use a different model: SkillDock manages them as shared configuration records and writes the enabled servers into each tool's MCP config file.

Getting Started

  1. Download and open SkillDock.
  2. Install plugins, skills, or MCP servers from a marketplace, Git repository, or local folder.
  3. Inspect the real Skill directories used by Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other tools.
  4. Enable plugins, skills, and MCP servers for your coding tools.
  5. Use Git-aware status to review updates, local edits, Diff previews, and push previews.

Roadmap

  • Public source release after the preview stabilizes.
  • Clearer skill states: updateable, locally modified, pending push, conflicted.
  • Fuller plugin and MCP lifecycle: install, configure, discover tools, and sync across tools.
  • Better Git flows: branch selection, team repository pushback, PR/MR handoff.

Open Source Plan

SkillDock is currently distributed as a public desktop app preview, but the source code is not open-sourced yet.

We plan to open source the project after the core features, documentation, and release workflow become more stable. Until an official open-source license is published in this repository, the source code and application assets remain proprietary and may not be copied, modified, redistributed, or reverse engineered without permission.
