The problem

AI tools are multiplying. Your skills shouldn't have to.

Every AI coding tool has its own skills folder. You build a great /deploy workflow, and suddenly you're maintaining it in four places. When you update it, you update it four times. When you forget, things break.

The solution

skillctl is a single source of truth.

Skills live in ~/.skillctl/skills/. Run skillctl sync and they get symlinked into every enabled client — automatically, consistently.

✓Install once, available everywhere

✓Enable or disable per client

✓Never manually copy a file again

How sync works

Write once.
Sync everywhere.

Skills live in ~/.skillctl/skills/. When you run skillctl sync, each skill is symlinked into every enabled client's skills directory.

Sync uses a merge strategy — skillctl only writes its own skills and never touches skills you created manually.

# example workflow
$ skillctl install next-variant
$ skillctl sync
$ skillctl list
# disable one client
$ skillctl clients disable windsurf
