So what is it?

Skillsdash is a terminal based interface for managing the skills used by AI coding assistants, specifically Claude and a provider it refers to simply as Agents. Skills are stored as files in specific folders, either globally on your machine or inside a project, and skillsdash gives you one screen to browse and manage them instead of digging through folders by hand. The tool covers both global skill locations, such as the Claude skills folder and the Agents skills folder in your home directory, and the same kind of folders inside your current project. Beyond skills, it has a dedicated view for editing each provider's memory file, meaning the CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md file that gives the assistant persistent context, at both the global and project level. There is also a commands view for editing slash command files used by each provider. One notable feature is the ability to keep two providers in sync. Since Claude and Agents each expect their own copy of a memory file or command file, skillsdash lets you write the content once for one provider and then symlink the other provider's file to point at the same content, so you only maintain a single source of truth instead of keeping two files updated by hand. It runs on macOS and Linux and can be installed several ways: through Homebrew with a one time trust step for third party taps, through the Arch Linux AUR package manager, via a curl based install script, or built from source using Cargo since the tool itself is written in Rust. The project is released under the MIT license.
