Git-aware skill manager for the AI editor zoo

What it does

SkillDock is a Rust-built desktop app that scans the real skill directories used by AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, then centralizes installation, editing, and syncing. It treats skills, MCP servers, and plugins as versioned packages—complete with Git-aware diff previews, upstream update detection, and one-click pushes—rather than loose files copied between tools. The goal is to replace hand-edited config directories with a shared library that can selectively enable entries across multiple editors.

The interesting bit

Instead of treating each AI tool as a silo, SkillDock abstracts them into a single management layer: skills live in ~/.skilldock/skills and are symlinked into target tools, while MCP servers are written as shared configuration records into each host’s config file. This lets a team maintain skills in real Git repositories and push or pull changes without intermediate handoff directories.

Key highlights

• Supports a sprawling list of AI tools—Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and many others.
• Scans actual tool directories to surface managed, unmanaged, and conflicting skill entries.
• Git-backed skills and plugins stay as real repositories; the app detects local edits, upstream updates, and pending pushes.
• MCP server management includes tool discovery and per-tool enablement controls.
• Offers an adapter architecture for enterprise marketplace and publishing platform integration.

Caveats

• Currently released only for macOS Apple Silicon and Windows x64; Linux and Intel Macs are not listed as supported.
• The macOS build is not Apple-notarized, so Gatekeeper will block it until manually overridden.
• The README trails off mid-sentence in the roadmap section, suggesting some documentation is still incomplete.

Verdict

Worth a look if you juggle custom skills or MCP servers across multiple AI editors and want Git-backed versioning without command-line gymnastics. Skip it if you only use one tool and are happy editing its config by hand.
