Re:Ask HN: How do you manage skills files? by mstr32 on Monday September 07, 2026 @01:28AM (#49594219)
The main problem I encountered around this is that skills need to be edited across projects and across team members in a controlled way. Git is of course required for this but is not enough so I built a tool to do just that:

https://github.com/genged/capshelf

Using capshelf I manage my skills across projects. When I start a new project I can just:

$ capshelf add security-review

From the skill repo.

And if I create a new skill I can promote it to the repo so everyone can install it:

$ capshelf promote security-review

It pins the skill content hash so there are no unexpected edits that can break your flow. It also supports MCP configs and agent configs.
