I had the same habit, so I built an extension for it: tabs you haven't touched in a while get auto-archived after a certain period of time, and you can search the archive later.

There's a free tier, and a paid plan for heavier use. You can try it out here: https://tabsprompt.com

Looks like this is a combination of documentation with a skill, right? How do you manage these skills across projects?

That's very cool. How does the binary keep skills updated across users?

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:

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.

I was constantly working on multiple projects in parallel, which made me keep the same Claude Code skills in several repos, and they slowly drifted apart. A security-review skill I kept improving in one project did not change everywhere else, and after a while I couldn't tell which copy was current.I tried symlinking into a shared directory, and it fixed the duplication but created a worse...
