Tauri 2 / Rust app for macOS (`brew install --cask skills-manager`), Windows and Linux (x64 and arm64), with a CLI bundled in every installer. Import from Git repos, local folders, .zip/.skill archives or the skills.sh marketplace; presets to switch whole skill sets on per agent; upstream update checks on Git-sourced skills; diff local against upstream before updating. Optional backup and multi-device sync to a private GitHub repo. A `manage-skills` skill lets your agents drive the app instead of writing into each other's folders. ★~6k.","theCatch":"A single-maintainer project on a fast release cadence, so expect UI churn. Presets are a one-time copy, not a live sync, so a skill applied by preset will not follow later edits unless you re-apply. Installing marketplace skills in bulk is still installing other people's instructions into your agents — read them, especially ones that run scripts. GitHub sync means signing the app into GitHub. Vs cc-switch (provider switching with skills management on the side) and vercel-skills (the `npx skills` CLI): this is the dedicated GUI for people juggling many agents.","verdict":"If you run more than two coding agents and your skills folder has become a mess, this is the free fix.","addedAt":"2026-10-11","featured":false,"domain":"AI Agents","subSpecialty":"Skills","subcategory":"Skills","tags":["sdk","desktop-app","self-host","permissive","coding-agents","skills","active"],"capabilities":["skills","desktop","sync"],"surfaces":["Self-host"],"ecosystem":["Rust","Multi-platform"],"licenseModel":"OSS/MIT","githubStars":6515,"starsPerWeek":197,"access":"free","archived":false,"repo":{"createdAt":"2026-03-02","pushedAt":"2026-10-18","license":"MIT","archived":false,"checkedAt":"2026-10-19"}},"related":[{"slug":"claude-code","name":"Claude Code","tagline":"Terminal-first coding agent with deep repository context"},{"slug":"cursor","name":"Cursor","tagline":"The AI-first code editor that understands your codebase"},{"slug":"devin","name":"Devin","tagline":"Autonomous AI engineer for defined engineering tasks"},{"slug":"stagehand","name":"Stagehand","tagline":"AI-native browser automation that mixes code and natural language"},{"slug":"browser-use","name":"Browser Use","tagline":"Open-source framework for LLM-driven browser agents"}],"links":{"self":"/api/gems/skills-manager","html":"/gems/skills-manager","markdown":"/gems/skills-manager.md","category":"/api/gems?category=agents","categoryPage":"/stacks/agents"}}
