Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?

for the most part skills are so portable that fiddling with moving them around is not that hard. The really hard thing is the 'is this skill worth the bits that its written with'. I'd say 99.99% of skills out there are so bad, you're actually worse off for installing them

standards are good though, we should make plugins for our skillsets so theyre easier for some folks

Definitely. Especially since those standards are fairly aligned across lots of tools. The other cool thing is a lot of desktop clients like Claude Cowork and ChatGPT Desktop also speak plugins, so hooking up marketplaces help with further distribution outside of technical teams.

FWIW I work on AI enablement in my day job for both our build org and the broader company and we’ve found success with using marketplaces for distribution.

I also built a free tool that diffs a lot of agent configs to help me keep current on changes.

Here’s the main page, but you can checkout the marketplace and plugin entries if you’re interested!
